Administrators FlyJ Posted July 13, 2014 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2014 War between virtual assistants! Siri or Cortana? Who will win the world cup? Siri is Apple’s own virtual assistant meant to ease basic ‘stuffs’ on iPhones while Cortana is Microsoft's virtual assistant for Windows phones. Cortana has been in the news for correctly predicting Germany’s place in the world cup finals. Scratch that if you’re not interested. Cortana also has predicted CORRECTLY over 10 games in the 2014 FIFA World Cup including Argentina’s win over Netherlands. She seems to be a witch. Heck! Now the battle begun when Siri says Argentina could win the World Cup in contradiction to Cortana’s prediction that says Germany has higher chances. Here are screenshots from Cortana’s thoughts: And Siri says it should be Argentina instead : Who do you think will win? Siri or Cortana?

Administrators FlyJ Posted July 14, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted July 14, 2014 Germany 1-0 Argentina: Mario Gotze scores World Cup winner for Germans in extra-time Gotze volleys home in 113th minute to give Germany victory Lionel Messi misses golden chance for Argentina in second half Gonzalo Higuain skewed ball wide when through in first half World Cup final 2014 finished 0-0 after 90 minutes At first glance it looked so simple. Almost a toe-poke, in fact, such was the quickness of thought, and movement. And then, around the mighty Maracana stadium, those in celebration and despair searched for the replay on the giant screens. There it was, in all its glory. A goal to grace a World Cup final, a goal that was so much more than the sum of its parts. Like Germany, some will say. Good cross, good finish – but the technique, the technique. This German win is about so much more than efficiency and graft. Yes, they do the basics, too; but it is laced with beauty and aesthetic perfection when it needs to be. Manuel Neuer will change the way the next generation keeps goal. Thomas Muller deserves to be mentioned beside just about any midfield player in the world, right now; so too Bastian Schweinsteiger. Germany ride adversity, as they did here when the vital Sami Khedira went lame in the warm-up. Their last two performances would deserve victory at just about any World Cup: to defeat Brazil 7-1 on their turf is simply earth-shattering. The perfect team versus the perfect superstar that was the narrative here. On one side Die National Mannschaft, on the other Lionel Messi. Yet football has a way of confounding such glib expectations. Mario Gotze scored a wonderful team goal, true, but with a level of professional excellence that would have guaranteed Messi the Golden Ball had it came from his foot to win this game. They gave it to him anyway, because that’s FIFA. They’ve got sponsors to serve, and stuff the football. So how did Germany win this World Cup? In wonderful style. With eight minutes of extra time remaining, Andre Schurrle sprinted down the left. He finally outwitted an exhausted Argentine defence, finding Gotze in space. He took it on his chest, let it fall, finished it left foot on the volley past goalkeeper Sergio Romero. And, making the difficult look easy, the World Cup was done. The best team won. The first Europeans on South American soil, which takes some doing, and the first team here to stifle Messi while still discovering a route to goal themselves. No coincidence either that assist and goal are both credited to German substitutes. This is not a team effort, truly, but the work of a group, a squad, a collective. Only Neuer’s understudies in goal and three outfield players were unused here. The rest played a part. Some came and went, others found a niche from the bench.
