Just wanted to wish everyone a happy 2014

Ring of Knowledge - update

Okay, a little more than 5 years have gone by since I posted my thoughts on the Ring of Knowledge. 

Apple's attempt is called Siri, and it's getting better with time. More specific, Siri was originally introduced as an iOS application available in Apple's App Store by Siri, Inc., which was acquired by Apple on April 28, 2010

As per my invention idea, it's mobile (it's an app on one of the most popular phone and tablet platforms as of 2013), it's algorithm can make reservations at specific restaurants, buy movie tickets or get a cab by dictating instructions in your native language. But...... it still needs to go to the internet to get details on more complicated questions.

Siri is great stride toward the sprite of the Ring of Knowledge and since Wall Street has lessened it demand for sucking all of the MIT talent to write financial arbitrage algorithms, this or other competing products will get more refined at a surprisingly fast pace.

In closing, I just wanted to state the "I thought of this in January of 2008".
