'Phineas and Ferb' offer trippy, escapist animated fun

Boston Herald

Rated G. On Disney . Disney just made your lockdown world a little bit brighter -- and more hallucinatory -- with "Phineas and Ferb the Movie: Candace Against the World." After 103 TV episodes and a 2011 TV movie, "Phineas and Ferb" have finally gotten the feature film they deserve. The conventionally animated, semi-musical film brings together a talented voice cast, including Ashley Tisdale as Candace, a young woman having an identity crisis, who is convinced the universe is against her. Candace also believes that her little brothers Phineas (Vincent Martella, channeling Pee-wee Herman) and Ferb (David Errigo Jr.), who build inventions in the backyard such as a giant, juggling clown robot, are no fun either.


CRM Gets AI

#artificialintelligence

Last month Salesforce released details on some recent acquisitions in machine learning, reporting spending of almost 33 million on the AI startup MetaMind, and an additional 41.6 million for two other companies, including the intelligence systems startup PredictionIO. This all furthers the Salesforce commitment to bolster their AI capabilities. Current predictions suggest that the global AI market in general will grow to over 5 billion by 2020, driven in part by the rising adoption of predictive marketing intelligence and natural language processing technologies across all business sectors. SugarCRM recently announced that they are developing a new intelligence service with a Siri-like agent called Candace. According to their literature, Candace will be able to listen in on business meetings and use natural language processing to analyze the conversations.
