Skylake Has a Voice DSP and Listens To Your Commands

itwbennett writes: Intel's new Skylake processor (like the Core M processor released last year) comes with a built-in digital signal processor (DSP) that will allow you to turn on and control your PC with your voice. Although the feature is not new, what is new is the availability of a voice controlled app to use it: Enter Windows 10 and Cortana. If this sounds familiar, it should, writes Andy Patrizio: 'A few years back when the Xbox One was still in development, word came that Kinect, its motion and audio sensor controller, would be required to use the console and Kinect would always be listening for voice commands to start the console. This caused something of a freak-out among gamers, who feared Microsoft would be listening.'

Yes he married an 18 year old, that he met at 17. But let's be honest here, 99% of men in the world lust after 18 year old girls. Just as 99% of women lust after men with big...."Q" scores. (fame). Doohan had a huge Q score.

The point of the law is not to shame people for almost breaking it, but instead to convince them to abide by it. James Doohan abided by the law. Leave the great man alone.
