Getty Images/EyeEm Apple may not have given up on TV programming after all.After pausing plans last year for a service that would stream live TV over the inteet, the company is now focusing on creating a digital TV guide that would work on Apple TV boxes, iPhones and iPads, according to a Recode report Thursday. Apple is in talks with TV programmers and other video companies about a service that would tell you what's on where and help you watch it, the site reported. The service would corral information on programs available on video apps such as those offered by HBO, Netflix and ESPN without having to launch each app individually. The movie or TV show of your choice would begin with a single click through the guide, Recode reported.Apple declined to comment on the report.Apple's much-hinted-at subscription TV service was widely expected to be unveiled last year, but those plans were reportedly scrapped because of a lack of progress in securing licensing deals for programming from content providers such as TV networks.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Add one more premium cable service to Roku's continually growing list of apps. The Starz app, which launched in April, is now available on the company's media streamers, joining Apple TV (the new one, not the old) and Chromecast (via Android and iOS devices). The app gives you access to all of the content available from Starz as well as its sister networks, Starz Encore and Movieplex for a monthly subscription fee of $8.99. If you subscribe to Starz through your cable provider, however, you may not be able to authenticate service on Roku. Comcast, for example, will not allow you to use the app to view Starz content. Other participating cable, satellite and telephone company partners will allow you to authenticate service directly through Roku's Starz app or on a PC or Mac computer.

Roku is making it easier for viewers to catch up on the news by adding it into its universal search feature.The search feature -- which is available on current Roku streaming boxes, the Streaming Stick and televisions that have the Roku platform built-in -- now allows for entering in a topic such as "Apple" or "NBA," and will retrieve a listing of videos pertaining to that topic from across many of streaming news channels on the platform. These include news broadcasts from the four major US networks -- such as ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX -- as well as from digital outlets like Yahoo (Disclosure: CBS is the parent company of CNET). The streaming company announced the addition in a blog post on Friday.And what if you don't have a specific topic in mind? News videos can also be searched using the date by entering in the numbers without punctuation (for instance, June 20th would be 620).Roku's search feature has mainly served to help a viewer find a movie or television show across the myriad of digital stores and subscription services available on the platform. That way, a viewer could find out if they would need to purchase an episode of "Bates Motel" from a store like Amazon Video or if they can stream it from a service that already subscribe to such as Netflix.CNET has reached out to Roku for additional comment on this feature, and will update after hearing back.Let's block ads! بخوانید, ...ادامه مطلب

Enlarge Image GraphicaArtis/Getty Google's AI has been writing poetry. Of a sort, at least. It hasn't been intending to write poetry, but the poetry has just been spilling out of its soul. No, that's not it either. Actually, the "poems" are a result of the neural network figuring out how to form sentences and sound more like a human, according to a paper available to read on arXiv.To train the AI, researchers fed it around 11,000 novels, including romance and fantasy novels. Then, the AI was fed sets of two sentences, and tasked with generating sentences between the two that show a progression between the first sentence and the second.The results may seem strange to you and I, but in terms of machine leaing, they're actually fairly impressive.It adds, "Because the model is trained on fiction, including romance novels, the topics are often rather dramatic," the paper reads.Here are some examples, with the start and end sentences bolded.there is no one else in the world.there is no one else in sight.they were the only ones who mattered.they were the only ones left.he had to be with me.she had to be with him.i had to do this.i wanted to kill him.i started to cry.i tued to him.this was the only way.it was the only way.it was her tu to blink.it was hard to tell.it was time to move on.he had to do it again.they all looked at each other.they all tued to look back.they both tued to face him.they both tued and walked away.he was silent for a long moment.he was silent for a moment.it was quiet for a moment.it was dark and cold.there was a pause.it was my tu.i went to the store to buy some groceries.i store to buy some groceries.i were to buy any groceries.horses are to buy any groceries.horses are to buy any animal.horses the favorite any animal.horses the favorite favorite animal.horses are my favorite animal."Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Moing," eat y, ...ادامه مطلب
