with artificial intelligence to interpret and
even react to anger, happiness,
nervousness, sorrow in humans around by
recognizing their voice tones, facial
expressions, and language.
Pepper is designed for all household
activities like serving as a nurse,

sandwiches! Besides, it is highly curious
and tries to talk to you, learn about you
and adapt accordingly. Also, it can speak

would be equipped with such cute robots
to understand your emotions, especially in
old age homes, where Pepper can not only

Windows 10 now on 600 million machines.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told shareholders that Windows 10 has now passed 600 million monthly active users, picking up 100 million since May of this year. This number counts all Windows 10 devices used over a 28-day period. While most of these will be PCs, there are other things in the mix there: a few million Xbox Ones, a few million Windows 10 Mobile phones, and special hardware like the HoloLens and Surface Hub.

The company's original ambition (and sales pitch to developers) was to have one billion systems running Windows 10 within about three years of the operating system's launch.

If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents.
