HonkinNews for July 18, 2017 Now Available
July 18, 2017
IBM’s never-ending marketing of all things artificial captures more air time in this week’s HonkinNews. Open Text, a Swiss Army knife-like enterprise software company shifts to a new direction. Instead of marketing its proprietary search and retrieval software, Open Text has channeled IBM Watson. Open Text’s Magellan is an open source solution which looks like a “me too” product to the HonkinNews goose. This week’s program explains that Stephen E Arnold will deliver two one hour Dark Web lectures at the September 2017 TechnoSecurity & Digital Forensics Conference. HonkinNews also explains how to get information about Stephen’s new book “Dark Web Notebook.” The secret is to search Google for the words “Arnold Dark Web Notebook.” Google is back on the HonkinNews radar. No, it’s not the company’s purchase of another smart software firm. This one is in central India. Google, according to the Wall Street Journal, engages in content marketing. This means Google pays “experts” to write positive articles and reports about Google. This week’s HonkinNews includes a test to help you determine if you have what it takes to be a “real” journalist. Don’t worry. Stephen includes a hint so you can score a 100 on this tough exam. We thought Yahoo was but a memory. Wrong. Verizon seems to have diffused some Yahoot DNA through its corporate body. With the loss of some customer data, there are several million people who might wonder if Yahoot is a forever thing. You can view the video at this link.
