AT&T and IBM partner for analytics with Watson

Today at IBM InterConnect, we learned that IBM is partnering with AT&T to support enterprise customers’ Internet of Things (IoT) with data insights.
This data is huge for business customers, but is only valuable with real-time, meaningful insights.
AT&T will be using a variety of IBM products including:

Watson IoT Platform: to build the next generation of connected industrial IoT devices and products that continuously learn from the physical world
IBM Watson Data Platform: which is the fastest data ingestion engine, combined with cognitive powered decision making to help uncover business insights and value from data, possibly from the weather, the road, social media, or customer sales data
IBM Machine Learning Service: used by AT&T to give their customers access to machine learning

Benefiting AT&T customers
Companies can use IoT data to predict their machine maintenance, but how does this impact AT&T customers?
For example, say an oil and gas company wants to detect unusual events in its wells. By using AT&T’s IoT network and the IBM Watson Data Platform, AT&T’s IoT analytics solutions will ingest data from hundreds of wells, creating the models necessary with appropriate machine learning libraries and open source technology to help predict potential failures or machine malfunctions. The company will be able to detect anomalies in less time and with greater accuracy.
“We have more than 30 million connections on our network today and that number continues to grow, primarily driven by enterprise adoption,” said Chris Penrose, president of IoT solutions at AT&T. “Integrating the IBM Watson Data Platform into our IoT capabilities will be huge for our enterprise customers.”
Bringing IoT innovations to market
The news today builds on existing collaborations between AT&T and IBM to deliver new IoT innovations to the market. The companies’ strategic alliance brings together leading wireless connectivity, advanced analytics and cognitive capabilities for AT&T’s enterprise customers to improve their business processes.
Stay tuned for further announcements live from IBM InterConnect.

Apple's New App Makes Video Editing Stupid Easy

“Clips” lets you easily caption videos with your voice, add animations, and drop in a soundtrack.

Apple’s adding another mobile video editor to the mix: Clips. It’s the Goldilocks of Apple’s video editing apps – not too simplistic, but not too complicated, either. The free app, set to launch in April, is more customizable than the automatically generated slideshows made by the Photos app’s “Memories” tab, but less complicated than iMovie.

I can see where Clips would be useful. I've taken a gazillion hours of GoPro/iPhone footage that have never seen the light of day, because of the headache of sorting and editing the video. But with its pre-built animations and an easy drag-and-drop timeline, the new app makes vacation/home video creation seem less daunting, and more enjoyable.

The app has a simple interface: a big “Hold-to-Record” button, a square-shaped live camera preview in the middle, and a variety of animated elements you can add at the top. Photos and videos can be mixed and matched, and you can capture media live or tap into your photo library to create a video. But there&039;s a big caveat: the videos, which are capped at 60 minutes, *must* be square-shaped.

Apple

You can add stylized text, shapes, speech bubbles, and emojis to annotate photos or videos.

All of the text and shapes are easily customizable. You can pinch to increase or decrease the size, drag the element all over the screen, and edit the text. They’re animated too, which gives videos a ~Ken Burns~ polish.

The filters available in the Photos app, like the vintage-inspired “Fade” and a new hyper-stylized comic book-esque filter, are also offered in Clips.

Apple Just Announced An Updated iPad And A (Red) iPhone

In its first product launch of 2017, Apple announced that it is rolling out a series of new iPads and a special edition red iPhone to benefit the (Red) campaign to fight AIDS.

The updated iPads will come in a 9.7-inch model. The update comes in the form of a brighter 9.7-inch Retina display and A9 chip for graphics processing. The iPad is available to order starting Friday and in stores next week. And it starts at $329

The (Red) iPhones specs are similar to those of the current iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus models. It&#039;ll be available in stores beginning Friday, March 24 .

They&039;ll look like this:

The launch was foreshadowed this morning when Apple&039;s online store went down just after midnight, sometimes a signal of a new product announcement. But the new tablets come just weeks after some sluggish iPad sales in the company&039;s most recent quarterly earnings report. According to the company, Apple sold 13.3 million iPads. Enough to earn $5.5 billion in revenue. Still, the sales figures are a 19 percent drop in iPads sold and show a 22 percent drop in revenue from a just one year ago.

Apple joined the (Red) campaign to fight AIDS in 2006 with the launch of a red a special edition iPod nano. Since then, the company has raised over more than $120 million from the proceeds of (Red)-branded Apple products.
