Today's Story Highlights

Siri May Be Starting a Hope Chest
It may not be a marriage made in heaven, but the cloud is pretty close.
Just hours after IBM and Apple announced their strategic partnership,
speculation began to spread about two of their most well-known products:
What if Siri and Watson were to hook up? Siri is Apple's voice-enabled
digital personal assistant. Watson is IBM's AI software, perhaps best
known for winning Jeopardy!

Social Robot Jibo Melts Crowdfunders' Hearts
A crowdfunding campaign for Jibo, a little robot designed to become one
of the family, kicked off Wednesday on Indiegogo, and it already has
raised more than $577,000 -- nearly six times its $100,000 target. The
voice-controlled robot with a friendly face is a do-it-all personal
assistant. It can take pictures, provide information from the Web or
apps, order food, display e-books and much more.

Down the EU's Right-to-Be-Forgotten Rabbit Hole
Telecom regulators from each EU member state, together with the Article
29 Working Party -- a group comprised of a data protection authority
representative from each state, the European Data Protection Supervisor,
and the European Commission -- reportedly have invited search engines to
a meeting next week. Microsoft, which just started fielding link removal
requests to Bing, plans to attend.
