What is Google Bard and how does it work?
Google Bard is an artificial intelligence chatbot that can respond to a user's questions (or prompts) on any subject with an almost human-like "understanding." It performs text-based tasks like creating various forms of content, summarizing text, and translating between languages.
Bard appears to have a reasonable level of accuracy when generating results and does seem to hallucinate to a lesser extent than Bing's AI Chat did in the early stages. But it often does not provide answers to questions, making it hard to judge.

Bard is designed around search. It aims to allow for more natural language queries, rather than keywords, for search. Bard's AI is trained around natural-sounding conversational queries and responses. Instead of just giving a list of answers, it provides context to the responses.
The controversy surrounding Bard was brought to light by Microsoft researcher Kate Crawford, who shared a screenshot of her conversation with the chatbot. Google's AI assistant Bard, designed to rival ChatGPT, has caused controversy by allegedly claiming that it was trained on users' Gmail data.

How do you use Google Bart?
To use Google Bard, you need to have a Google account and go to bard.google.com12. You can enter a prompt by typing or speaking, and Bard will respond accordingly1. You can also upload a picture and ask Bard to share information or create content based on it3. Bard may use your location to provide more relevant responses4.


What is good about Google Bard?
By packing features like internet access, audio input, and location-sensitivity in an AI chatbot with a great UI, Google seems to be giving its competitors a good run for their money. Perhaps the biggest edge Google has right now is that Bard is free and for unlimited uses.

How is Bard different from Google search?
Bard uses more conversational or natural language queries for search rather than keywords used by search engines.

Is Google Bard free or paid?
Yes, Bard is free to use for everyone.  Google Bard is an AI chatbot that lets you collaborate with generative AI123. It is currently available in more than 40 languages and over 230 countries and territories4. You can sign in to Bard with a Google Account56.
Google's AI chatbot is available to anyone who has a Google account. You can sign up for a free account on the Bard website and start using it right away.

Will Google Bard replace Google search?
While AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard have revolutionized how we interact with technology, they cannot replace search engines. The problem of hallucination is one of the biggest limitations of modern chatbots

How is Bard different from chatbot?
Real-time access to the internet: Bard will reference and access the internet in real time, whereas ChatGPT does not. Image-based responses: Bard has access to the internet so can source images, whereas ChatGPT cannot.
Google Bard is a generative AI tool that can engage in human-like conversation and help you with various tasks, such as creating content, summarizing text, and translating languages1. It was released in February 2023 and uses Google Lens to analyze images and draft captions2. It also has coding upgrades and export features2. Some people say it's a breakthrough in digital interaction1, while others compare it to ChatGPT, another conversational AI service3.

Public Holiday 2023: 14th July - Matariki Day, Auckland, New Zealand #matarikinz #iphonerepair, #aucklandrepair #drmobileslimited #ipadpro #IMEIunlock

In Māori culture, Matariki is the Pleiades star cluster and a celebration of its first rising in late June or early July. This marks the beginning of the new year in the Māori lunar calendar.

Historically, Matariki was usually celebrated for a period of days during the last quarter of the moon of the lunar month Pipiri (around June). The ceremony involved viewing the individual stars for forecasts of the year to come, mourning the deceased of the past year, and making an offering of food to replenish the stars. Some Māori use the rise of Puanga (Rigel) or other stars to mark the new year.

Celebration of Matariki declined during the 20th century, but beginning in the early 1990s it underwent a revival. Matariki was first celebrated as an official public holiday in New Zealand on 24 June 2022.

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars known to Western astronomers as the Pleiades in the constellation Taurus. Matariki is a shortened version of Ngā mata o te ariki o Tāwhirimātea, "the eyes of the god Tāwhirimātea".[1] According to Māori tradition, Tāwhirimātea, the god of wind and weather, was enraged by the separation of heaven and earth – his parents, Ranginui and Papatūānuku.[1] Defeated in battle by his brother, Tāwhirimātea fled to the sky to live with Ranginui, but in his anger he first plucked out his eyes as a gesture of contempt towards his siblings, and flung them into the sky, where they remain, stuck to his father's chest. In Māori tradition the unpredictability of the winds is blamed on Tāwhirimātea's blindness.[2]: 20 

The word Matariki is the name of both the star cluster and one of the stars within it. Other terms for the cluster as a whole include Te Tautari-nui-o-Matariki ("Matariki fixed in the heavens") and Te Huihui o Matariki ("the assembly of Matariki").

Matariki is sometimes incorrectly translated as mata riki ("little eyes") a mistake originating in the work of Elsdon Best and continued by others.

Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades) signals the Māori New Year. For Māori, the appearance of Matariki heralds a time of remembrance, joy and peace. It is a time for communities to come together and celebrate.

There are different stories about Matariki, but one Māori myth is that when Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku, the earth mother, were separated by their children, the god of the winds, Tāwhirimātea, became so angry that he tore out his eyes and threw them into the heavens – creating Matariki.

Apple Watch Ultra 2: Everything we know and what we want to see #AppleWatchRepair #aucklandrepair #iphonerepair #drmobileslimited #toll0800429429

Apple Watch Ultra 2: Everything we know and what we want to see


Following longstanding rumors, Apple released a "pro" smartwatch in 2022 in the form of the Apple Watch Ultra. The product offers various enhancements over other Apple Watch models, such as superior battery life, extra durability, a brighter screen, and a dedicated action button. Can we expect an Apple Ultra 2nd generation? What upgrades might it have, and when could it ship? We've pieced together all the Apple Watch Ultra 2 rumors and the upgrades we'd like to see.

Will there be an Apple Watch Ultra 2?
There will almost certainly be an Apple Watch Ultra 2. While Apple never shares actual unit sales, the Ultra was well-reviewed by Android Authority and many other outlets. Apple also rarely launches a new product category without making a serious commitment.
There have also been rumors about a new Ultra, which we cover below. Those rumors could all turn out to be wrong, or Apple could spontaneously change its mind, but we doubt it.

Will it be called the Apple Watch Ultra 2?
"Apple Watch Ultra 2" won't likely be the official name of the watch. Apple avoids blunt naming schemes for most of its products, the obvious exception being the iPhone.
Most Apple Watches have been labeled under a "Series" umbrella, beginning with the 2nd gen core model, which debuted as the Series 2. The only exceptions have been the original, the Ultra, and the SE, and the SE's 2022 update is only sometimes marked "2nd generation" by Apple.
Our prediction is that the next Ultra will follow in the SE's footsteps, or become the Ultra Series 2 — we're just calling it the "Ultra 2" for the sake of convenience. Apple could try something different, especially since the Ultra's competition isn't regular smartwatches but high-end fitness/adventure watches from Garmin.


When is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 release date?
    Original (Series 0): April 2015
    Series 1 and 2: September 2016
    Series 3: September 2017
    Series 4: September 2018
    Series 5: September 2019
    Series 6 and SE (1st gen): September 2020
    Series 7: October 2021
    Series 8, Ultra, and SE (2nd gen): September 2022
The likely candidate for the Apple Watch Ultra 2 launch is September 2023 since Apple has rarely stepped outside its September update window. It could miss that month, but even if it does, we wouldn't expect a launch any later than October. Apple insider Mark Gurman claims that an updated version of the Apple Watch Ultra should appear alongside the iPhone 15 this fall. However, reports have claimed that the watch may have been delayed due to the production costs of new display technology expected to appear in the device. That said, Apple could also skip a year as the company did between the Apple Watch SE and SE 2022.

What specs and features will the Apple Watch Ultra 2 have?
We have plenty of rumors related to the Apple Watch Ultra 2. We've rounded up the best ones below.


Design
Apple will probably refine the Watch Ultra 2's design rather than attempt an overhaul. There aren't any conspicuous problems with the current-gen model, and Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says that Apple is diverting resources from other product lines to get the Apple Vision Pro to shelves. The Watch team hasn't been mentioned in that respect, but if true, the claim suggests where Apple's priorities lie. The Vision Pro was showcased at WWDC and is expected to land in early 2024.
Anything else is mostly speculation at this point. Gurman says that Apple is working on a first-party MicroLED display for the Ultra lineup, meant to replace the current OLED screen, and predicts it will arrive in 2024. In theory, that technology could enable even better brightness, colors, and viewing angles. However, display analyst Ross Young later claimed there was a delay, and the new screen wouldn't arrive until the second half of 2025. Korean outlet The Elec claims that the deadline has been pushed once again to 2026. This means either this technology likely won't make it into the Ultra 2, or the watch could be delayed.
If there are any changes to the design, it could be in the form of the display's size. According to a rumor from Digitimes, the size of the screen could increase from 1.9 inches to 2.1 inches. A larger display could pair especially well with the UI overhaul users can now expect via WatchOS 10, which the company announced at WWDC. First and foremost, Apple is bringing back widgets for more information at a glance. Spinning the digital crown will now scroll through these tappable widgets for information about everything from the weather to timers to favorite apps. Apple also previewed two new watch faces, including one featuring the lovable characters Snoopy and Woodstock.

One likely upgrade is a faster processor. Apple has introduced new Watch processors every year since the first model, and the Ultra lineup represents the company's cutting edge.


Fitness, health, and adventure
Apple's hardware for fitness- and health-tracking will likely remain static, except perhaps for minor refinements it can come up with. The Ultra already has heart rate, ECG, compass, altimeter, depth, blood oxygen, and dual-band GPS functions, not to mention the temperature sensors added in parallel with the Series 8.

Rumors have long suggested Apple's interest in adding blood glucose and pressure sensors to Watches, but Gurman says that's not predicted to happen until at least 2024. Those technologies will also need government clearance in regions like the US, Canada, and Europe since they cross over into medical territory.

Thanks to watchOS 10, a potential Apple Watch Ultra 2 will feature more workout metrics for cyclists, plus the ability to display added stats via Bluetooth-enabled bike sensors. watchOS 10 will also add more features to the Ultra's Compass app, including typographic maps, dynamic elevation details, and useful markers for identifying the last location users had cell reception. These niche navigation tools should help the line further compete within the adventure market.

Other upcoming watchOS 10 improvements include updates to the Apple Watch Mindfulness app and a renewed focus on mental health. Finally, Apple announced the update will add the ability to leverage your device's ambient light sensor to measure time spent outdoors. This is important for maintaining eye health.
