SAN FRANCISCO -- The CEO of Jack'd, a Tinder-like gay chat and dating app, says he hasn't been contacted by law enforcement since reports surfaced Tuesday that Orlando shooter Omar Mateen might have been using the app for at least a year. The site also hasn't been able to substantiate that Mateen had been a member, said Hector Camacho, CEO of Jack'd parent company Online Buddies.

Apple has a plan, of course. Looking back, it's clear what that is. So when the iPhone 5s came with a fingerprint sensor, it seemed like a useful, convenient feature. But really it was just a precursor to a bigger function: Apple Pay. Apple keeps its plan secret and reveals a little bit at a time.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Mateen, 29, had messaged at least one regular Pulse patron sporadically over the past year using the Jack'd app.

This post is by Amy Nicholson, Technical Evangelist at Microsoft. Here's a task for you: Type "I want to get started with machine learning" into your favorite search engine. I get back a whole list of options from Coursera, Azure, Amazon, kdnuggets, reddit,… and I could continue on and on. So where should one get started? In this post, I share my experiences of using the Cortana Intelligence Gallery in conjunction with the Azure ML Studio, and how that combination helped me break down the otherwise high barriers into popular ML techniques and start building my own ML models as well as my knowledge about this space. A little bit of background into how I got into this project.

"A breakthrough in machine learning would be worth ten Microsofts." - Bill Gates Machine learning (ML) is a form of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows computers to learn and make predictions based on previous data sets. With significant overlap in fields like data mining and statistical modeling, machine learning exhibits distinct differences compared to more traditional forms of AI. Where traditional artificial intelligence focuses on areas like reasoning and abstract thinking, the primary purpose of machine learning is to create software that can learn from past experience. Applications of ML are vast, from facial recognition technology to conversational AI like Amazon's Alexa. As you will see in the coming paragraphs, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the ever-expanding scope of this technology.

When will Siri come out on the Mac? Will Siri be on macOS Sierra? What features will Siri for Mac have? Apple announced a slew of new things at WWDC 2016 including the much anticipated introduction of Siri, its voice activated assistant, to its Mac computers. If you're after the full lowdown on the announcement of macOS Sierra, here is our roundup.

Slowly but surely, cyber security is evolving from the days of castles and moats into the modern era of software driven business. In the 1990s, after several failed attempts to build secure operating systems, the predominant security model became the network-perimeter security model enforced by firewalls. The way it works is clear: Machines on the inside of the firewall were trusted, and anything on the outside was untrusted. This castle-and-moat approach failed almost as quickly as it began, because holes in the wall had to be created to allow emerging internet services like mNews, email and web traffic through. Artificial intelligence will replace large teams of tier-1 SOC analysts who today stare at endless streams of threat alerts.

This post originally appeared in ClickZ earlier this month. Forget all that "this is the year of mobile" nonsense. Mobile has more than arrived. From time spent to ad dollar growth, mobile is dominating; it's a rocket ship that's already in orbit. Over the past few weeks, I attended two different conferences – the Modern Marketing Summit Upfront and Eniac's M1 ("Mobile-First") Summit – where that was discussed a lot by thought leaders and mobile gurus from across today's leading agencies, brands, vendors and investors.
