Amazon turns to customers for questions Alexa can’t answer
Amazon is launching a new program that will let its customers answer some of the questions Alexa can't answer on its own. It's called Alexa Answers and starting today, the company will begin inviting select customers to field some of the more difficult questions posed to Amazon's assistant. "While Alexa can answer the vast majority of questions customers are asking every day," Bill Barton, Amazon's VP of Alexa Information, wrote in a blog post, "every once in a while, customers throw curve balls at us with various questions like 'Where was Barbara Bush buried?' or 'Who wrote the score for Lord of the Rings?' or 'What's cork made out of?' or 'Where do bats go in the winter?'"
Submit your questions for the US Senate's first open debate
Normally, the press frames important US election debates by choosing the questions and controlling the video broadcast. For the first time, however, the public will decide the agenda in a clash over a contested US Senate seat. Republican David Jolly and Democrat Alan Grayson are vying for Marco Rubio's vacated Florida Senate post, and will lock horns on April 25th at 7PM eastern time in the Florida Open Debate. The public will be able to submit questions for the event, hosted by the Open Debate Coalition, starting today at 6AM until the cutoff at 12PM ET on April 25th.
You can now make Twitter polls last as short as you want
There's a question burning in the back of your mind, and the only people that can answer it to your satisfaction are your Twitter followers. That's exactly what Twitter polls are for -- but maybe you don't want to wait a week for an answer. Maybe you want it ten minutes from now. Luckily for you, that's now possible: Twitter has updated the widget to allow polls to be timed for anywhere between five minutes and seven days.
Your search history's got nothing on this
In addition to dealing with symmetrical book stacking and full-torso apparitions in basements, New York's librarians have had to field some pretty crazy questions in their day. Case in point: "What percentage of all bathtubs in the world are in the US?" As Gothamist tells it, the book-lender recently found a box full of reference questions ranging in origin from the 1940s to the 1980s, and has started posting pictures of them to its Instagram account. What's more, the answers are coming too. You know, just in case you wanted to know if black widow spiders were more harmful dead or alive. Seriously, someone actually asked that. Each Monday, the New York Public Library will post a new question but if you're feeling impatient Gothamist has a handful of them in advance. We're guessing at least a few librarians are happy there's a program in place enabling people to Google stuff for themselves now. [Image credit: Associated Press]
The Queue: Tree on a bike
Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Sarah Pine (@ilaniel) will be your host today. The above is one of my all-time favorite WoW screenshots. Yet another reason why Ulduar was such a great raid. Mazuren asks: Q4tQ: After we're done with WoD, what would you most like to see? More Azeroth(Zandalar, Kul Tiras, Undermine, Azshara)? Or would you rather we head to the various legion infested worlds? Or maybe something else entirely? I'd love to find out what happened to Neptulon, and that also feels like the natural place for an expansion whose end boss is Azshara, which would be great. I'd also like to finally check out the Emerald Dream in a meaningful way, though that hope might be permanently dashed considering the fate of the Dragonflights at the end of Cataclysm. World hopping usually isn't my bag, but I'd be down for that if a major component of the story happened to be the search for Alleria. And Turalyon, I guess. But mostly Alleria.
Tree of Savior answers questions about wizards and companions
Are you excited to get your hands on Tree of Savior when and if it gets a release over here? Then you'll be happy to look through the latest community Q&A, which has been helpfully translated into English. Like most community addresses, it covers a variety of different topics, ranging from casting spells on the move to working with companions in the game. Not all spells in the game can be cast while moving, depending greatly upon the type of spell and the class using it. Similarly, there's been discussion about which classes, if any, will be allowed to dual-wield. Companions can be stored at the barracks, allowing you to choose between several different companions based upon the situation, although not all companions will have the same degree of closeness with a given character. For more information, peruse the full set of answers.
Care about an open internet? Tell the US government on Twitter today
Rumors that the FCC would let ISPs like Comcast or Verizon give an internet "fast lane" to well-heeled customers has become a debacle, with Google, Yahoo and a hundred other companies denouncing the idea. The FCC and chairman Tom Wheeler have been in damage control mode ever since, and now want to hear what you think about net neutrality. Starting at 2pm ET today, FCC Senior Counsel Gigi B. Sohn will take your questions over Twitter, submitted using the #FCCNetNeutrality hashtag. Then, you'll just need to search Twitter using that same hashtag to follow the resulting dialogue. For instance, we're curious to find out how it could allow such fast lanes without slowing down everybody else, something they've sworn not to do. And that's just the tip of the iceberg -- given the sudden swarm of interest in the subject, it should make for a fascinating hour if you can spare it.
Answering Google's most asked questions about Apple
One of the first places people go with their questions is Google, and as always, Apple is a hot topic. Brace yourselves: It's time to answer Google's most popular questions about Apple and its various products. Why is Apple called Apple? According to an interview with Steve Wozniak from 2010, Steve Jobs brought the name home with him after spending some time working orchards in Oregon. It is claimed that the name may have been suggested to Jobs from a fellow orchard worker, though this would be impossible to confirm today. Why is Apple stock down? Well, today Apple's stock is actually up as of this writing, but I'm going to make a pretty safe guess and assume that this search term is popular right after a new Apple product announcement. The peculiar habits of Apple's stock have been well documented, but a common trend of analysts sounding the doom alarm after a new iPhone or iPad is announced seems to feed investor fright. The "Apple is doomed" narrative is something the company can't seem to shake, but that's likely just a price of success. Why is Apple successful? If you ask 100 tech experts this question you'll probably get 99 different answers. Some attribute Apple's success to genius marketing, while others insist that the cult-like mentality of Apple fans feeds the recruitment of new customers, and some stand firmly by the idea that Apple's high-quality products sell themselves. In the end, it's likely a combination of all of these factors and many more. In the end, Apple's products are desirable and that's all that really matters for business to boom. Why is Apple ID disabled? The main reason why you'd get an error saying your Apple ID is disabled is that you've entered the incorrect password too many times. Depending on which Apple service you're using, the message may be worded slightly differently, but the solution remains the same: Head to Apple's iForgot page and reset it to something brand new. Why is the iPhone 5c cheaper? The iPhone 5c is cheaper because it uses less expensive components, compared to the iPhone 5s. The 5c's A6 processor is more modest than the A7 chip in the 5s, and the 5s features the TouchID fingerprint sensor which is not found in the 5c. The 5s also features the M7 motion coprocessor, which is not present in the 5c. The body of the 5c is constructed largely out of plastic, while the 5s is aluminum with glass on both the front and the back. Why is the iPhone 5s better? Thanks to the more powerful processor (see the hardware differences in the answer above), the iPhone 5s has the ability to take slow-motion video, automatic image stabilization, and offers better performance for apps and games. The fingerprint sensor gives you the ability to unlock your phone without swiping and to make App Store purchases without a password. Why is the iPhone 4 so slow? Well it hasn't always been slow, but compared to the newer iPhone models it is definitely a bit more sluggish. Being now a full three generations old, the iPhone 4 isn't going to stand up to today's apps and games in the same way as its younger brothers. There have been countless reports of iPhone 4 users suffering from the iOS 7 update, which many claim has slowed their smartphones down even further as well as hindered battery life. In short, the iPhone 4 is slow because, in smartphone years, it's pretty old. Why is the iPhone better than the Galaxy? I'll assume this question is pointed at Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and not the Milky Way. There are of course supporters on both sides of the isle here, and both the iPhone and Galaxy smartphones have countless satisfied customers. If you're looking for reasons to support the "iPhone is better" argument, many iPhone users cite build quality, processing power, a clutter-free interface, and the absence of pre-installed bloatware as reasons why they prefer Apple's device. Why is the iPad 4 discontinued? The iPad 4 isn't discontinued, actually, though it was. Apple killed it off when the iPad Air debuted in late 2013 in order to continue support for the long-in-the-tooth iPad 2, but then brought it back earlier this year as the iPad 2's replacement, calling it simply "iPad with Retina display." Why is the iPad Air better? The iPad Air includes a faster processor than its predecessors, and a new design that is both thinner and lighter. On the software side, the Air's capabilities closely resemble that of the iPad 4, with the addition of a video zoom feature. Why is the iPad not charging? If you're met with a "Not Charging" alert when plugging your iPad in for a bit of juice, it's likely because you're not using the charger that was included with your device. Using your iPad (especially the iPad 4 and iPad Air) with an older charging device from a previous iPad or iPhone will cause the device to charge more slowly, and may produce the "Not Charging" warning when in use. The same is true when charging from a USB 2.0 port on your computer. Use Apple's guide to determining which adapter you have and which models of iPad it works with. Why is the iPad so expensive? This is something that Apple supports and Apple bashers love to argue over, but ignoring the conjecture, there are a few truths that we can point to: Apple's tablets regularly beat out all competitors in performance tests, and the performance gained from one iPad generation to the next is always dramatic. The build quality and design of Apple's tablets has also long been a selling point, along with the Apple ecosystem which includes a highly-policed app marketplace. The fact that many people are willing to pay a premium for this treatment is the reason they are priced in such a way. Why is the iPod touch so expensive? The iPod touch is so expensive because it's essentially an iPhone without the phone capabilities. It's a large touchscreen device with many of the bells and whistles you'd associate with a smartphone, and that demands a premium price. Why is the iPod 5 better? We're going to assume this question refers to the 5th generation iPod touch. The newest iPod touch includes a larger Retina display, similar to the iPhone 5, as well as faster processor and more capable cameras (on the 32GB and 64GB versions) than its predecessor. Storage options remain largely the same, with the largest option coming in at 64GB. Why is the iPod touch camera so bad? The latest iPod touch features a 5-megapixel camera which, while OK for casual shooting, doesn't hold up to the photo capabilities of the newer iPhones. I wouldn't honestly call it "bad," but it's certainly no DSLR. Why is the iPod important? This is a loaded question, but I'll tackle it as it pertains to Apple itself. The iPod was important to Apple as it served as the company's first massively successful portable device. For many, it was their first Apple product, and the iPod's quality helped build brand loyalty that the company still benefits from today. Along with iTunes, it helped spark a new way to consume music, and both served as a great way to get consumers interested in the original iPhone. Oh, and it made a lot of money. Like, so much money. Why are Macs better than PCs? Strictly speaking, Macs are still "personal computers," but in terms of Macs vs. Windows, this is another preference argument. As with the iPhone vs. Galaxy question, both sides love their machines, and much of it is based on personal opinion. Mac owners love the "it just works" nature of their computers while Windows devotees demand more freedom over both their software and hardware modifications. If you're looking for a solid reason to support your decision to purchase a Mac, the best bullet point may be that you can often resell Apple's hardware for much more when you eventually upgrade. Why are Macs so expensive? Again, you're paying for build quality, the design, and the Apple ecosystem. With the Mac mini and smaller MacBooks, Apple does offer products that won't break your bank, but if you're in the market for a high-end computer like the new Mac Pro, you're likely doing CPU and GPU intensive tasks and prefer the way your software works on OS X. For those who just don't like Windows, OS X on a Mac is often the first alternative, and Apple fans new and old find the prices to be worth it. Why are Macs better for design? This is another preference argument, though it seems to be rooted in an antiquated notion. Some very popular early design software like Adobe's Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator were Mac exclusive, leading professional designers to flock to Apple's machines. These days there are still some popular Mac-only design tools, though companies like Adobe now support both Mac and Windows computers universally. Some designers still insist that Apple's machines provide better reliability and support for their work, but the line between Windows and OS X is too blurry to declare one a clear winner of the other. Why are Macs so popular? If I knew the answer to this, I'd sell it to Toshiba for US$100 billion. Oh wait, I think they're already catching on.
Jelly uses photos to ask questions, maybe make a better world in the process
Jelly is an app designed to create empathy, according to Biz Stone, co-founder of Twitter. He should know, as it's his new company. Using Jelly, you post a picture and you Twitter and/or Facebook friends who also have Jelly installed can look, answer, ignore or forward your photo question to someone who they think might be able to help. It's a noble cause, empathy, but does Jelly have a shot and making us more willing to help? Do the answers on Jelly mean anything, or will this be yet another Internet Q&A fooferaw that will devolve into silly answers for real questions? This has all happened before... For some background, the web has tried many, many times to connect people with questions to people with the answers. It's actually a pretty huge business, but the hardest part is always validating the person answering your questions. Yahoo Answers is a free-for-all, and as such you'll find hilariously wrong answers to sometimes very serious questions on there. I'm particularly agitated when I see someone on Facebook ask a question that I absolutely know the answer to, only to see my valid answer lost amid a sea of "well I think" and "my cousin's brother's dog's aunt told me that..." and so on. In other words, most of the time Q&A on the web is crap. One exception might be Aardvark from Google, which did some tagging to determine whether an answerer actually had in knowledge about your question. What a concept, right? Yeah, Google killed Aardvark as a front-facing service. Apparently much of the team was reassigned to Google+, although the less I say about that mess the better. Let's just say you're just as likely to find correct answers on G+ as you are on Facebook. A picture is worth a thousand notifications In my testing, I turned off notifications on setup. I do this routinely these days, as there are too many developers who seem to think that I desperately want my workday to be constantly interrupted with the minutiae of everyone else on the planet. Not so, thus notifications were off. Turns out this was lucky, as ReadWriteWeb discovered you'll soon be bombarded with folks looking for answers. Well, you're probably more likely to be bombarded if you're a writer for a site about the web, apps, etc. Not everyone is so connected. Still, I wish developers would stop assuming that we all crave to be interrupted constantly. Nevertheless, I was a bit concerned that I wouldn't see any activity after setting up the app. I was pretty confused, in fact. Jelly is based on your social network, even if it is its own social network. You can connect it to either or both of your Twitter and Facebook accounts, and it will connect to those folks who are also using Jelly. Thing is, when you first launch, if none of your friends are currently using Jelly, you won't see much of anything. You'll wonder what the point of this app is entirely. I think that's not a great first impression, but it could be because the service is young and few of the people I know are on it. Nevertheless, I was basically "forced" to ask a question because I couldn't figure out how to do anything else after initial setup. Oh, as an example of just how lost you'll be: The gear icon in your activity stream is not preferences or settings, as it would be in every single other app in the known universe, but a list of your thank you cards. Remember folks, this app is building empathy. You want answers? So, at 3am on a Saturday night I took a pic of a crazy light in my living room that has some colored bulbs in it and asked, "What color is this?" I then closed the app, went to bed, and checked in a few hours later. I had over 50 answers waiting for me! Let's be clear, Jelly is a sort of social network. I opted in with both Facebook and Twitter, expecting only my friends to see or answer. Not so. None of this is very clear from setup, by the way. But I got responses from people with whom I have no connection, and several with whom I have a connection via social networks. As an example, I got an answer from @BradmanTV, who I am connected to via Christina Warren. The crux of this service revolves around the answers you get, so how are they? I asked "what would you call this color," which is pretty subjective. In an example posted on TechCrunch, a 14 year-old had her question forwarded all the way to a creative director somewhere, who managed to answer her math question. While that's great, I think it sets a crazy expectation that so many people will take the time to send your questions to the right people, but it definitely hints at building empathy. My question was largely answered with a simple "blue" or a creative spin, like "electric blue." You can thank an answerer, share their answer, or (by clicking a small caret to the right of their name) you can report the answer as inappropriate or say you don't like the answer. You can't comment on answers, or interact beyond these options. I wasn't really sure what to do here, because a lot of people had similar answers and thanking them all seemed a bit much. I'm prone to "like" something on Facebook or "favorite" something on Twitter if I like it, but I can also respond to those. All too often I felt as if I was saying "thanks... for nothing." Empathy? People who respond can apparently respond with a photo, and one person wrote Cyan on the photo to illustrate his point. I got a few questions to my question, but without a way to interact, there was no way to follow up. I got 53 answers, and most were pretty basic (but so was my question). Two were funny, but the majority were essentially duplicates. That said, I did notice that overall people were being helpful. Check out this answer to "what orchid is this," for example. Empathy & answering Next I tried answering a question. @donc asked about some blue spots on his cooking pans. I happen to love cooking and cookware, plus I'm fascinated with materials and how they change with use, so I took on his question by doing some research. I, too wanted to know what these were, having seem them on a pan I had some time ago. One problem: You can't pinch to zoom a photo in Jelly. Like Instagram, everything is locked down, so I was unable to get up close to see better. I'm hoping this is temporary, because in this case zooming would have been welcome. Also, while answering you can't easily go back and look at the photo again -- something that would be rather useful as well. If you go back to the photo then back to compose an answer, your text is deleted. A small thing, but annoying when you are busy and attempting to help someone by being accurate. When answering, you have a limited character count, which is only indicated by a little pie chart that gradually fills up as you type. I tried to be thorough, and warn this person that his pan was corroded beyond the discoloration (seriously kids, you don't need to be cooking in a rusty pan if you can help it), but I wound up turning that circle orange, which I guess means I was over the limit, whatever that is. You can also add links, or draw on the photo itself. When you send your answer, a cute sound effect plays that sounds like some sort of aquatic critter swimming off... perhaps a jellyfish? The nascent now Jelly is brand new but shows some promise. The next question I saw asked "where can I find more art like this?" but the first answer was "who is it?" -- without a way to complete that loop, Jelly becomes a bit limited. Still, I can see that the limits within Jelly are designed to encourage certain behaviors. I believe my inability to see anyone's questions after first setup was intentional. I had to ask a question first. That's pretty clever! Also keep in mind that while Jelly is putting photos front and center on its PR, the photos are often a ridealong with other questions. I moved to another question by thumbing the card down (using those great iOS 7 physics, I see) and saw a question about monetizing a blog, with a link to the blog, accompanied by a generic picture of a group of people. I browsed the answers to this question, and you can mark them as Good or share them, as with answers you recieve. Feedback loops After you've asked a question you'll start seeing questions from others. You can flip through those or answer them. If you click on your activity stream (the icon is a silhouette of a person, and has an orange dot if there's new activity), you'll see if anyone marked your answer as "good", who answered your questions, and if anyone gave you a thank you note. I got one such note, but when I tapped the gear, all I saw was the Jelly logo. This seems like a bug, but it was the only one I found while using the app. Conclusion Jelly is free for iOS and Android. The design is sparse but constructed well and it's actually a lot of fun to use. People are drawn towards images, so brain scientists tell us, and based a sort of social network around those is a smart idea (hello, Pinterest, Instagram, etc.). Jelly has only just begun, which may limit its utility for a while, but I think Biz and team are on to something here. Jelly won't be the next Facebook, but it could very well encourage more people to help one another -- which was the goal all along.
Five social apps to help you make a decision
Anyone who knows me well understands that I hate making decisions. From what to eat to where to go on vacation, I'd rather have little to no choice in the matter. For decision-avoiding people like me, there are a growing number of social decision-making apps that let you turn to your friends or the internet at large to help you make a decision. Here are five of them I have stumbled upon recently. Seesaw for iPhone [iPhone; Free] Seesaw allows you take a photo of your choices and then share them with the community to help you make a decision. You can also send your seesaws to your friends in your address book and they can respond without signing up for the service or installing the app. Loop -- Social Polling [iPhone; Free] Loop is a social polling app that lets you ask any question and get an instant answer. People responding to questions can do so without downloading or installing anything. It's more than just life decisions -- you can loop in your Pinboard or Amazon items, so you can use it for shopping advice and more. The app also allows you to create private polls and display an infographic of the voting results from a poll. Deciderr -- Social Decision-Making [iPhone; Free] Deciderr is a social app that lets you post a "Yes or No" question to help you make a decision. You can post your own questions or respond to questions posted by the people you follow. You can also share your question on Twitter or Facebook. PeepAdvice [iPhone; Free] PeepAdvice allows you to get advice quickly by asking simple questions with two choices that are open for voting. Your followers can then chime in with their favorite choice. PeepAdvice is a wide-open forum for discussing health, romance, purchases and more. Polar [iPhone; Free] Polar is a social polling app that lets people both vote and comment on your polls. As you share polls, you can build a following and follow others on the social network. You can chat with others and create or share polls right within the chat messages. It's a social experience that's part talking, part decision-making.
What do you need explained more clearly?
Reading the forums (like I do) I came across a response by Daxxari to a forum thread that got me thinking. Daxxari - Oh God, 5.3 don't come!!! QQ thread!! Item budget is weird and crazy. Seriously. It's actually worlds better than it used to be, but still needs to be a lot more clear so people can understand it. Blizzard is bad at getting some really core information like that across. Fair enough. There's a huge amount of information to relate about World of Warcraft, and we can always communicate better and more clearly. We've already stated that PvP stats don't count toward a given item's ilevel, and we released the PvP Gear in Patch 5.3 blog that we hoped would dispel some confusion. What do you think is missing, and what else needs to be communicated clearly so players can make informed gearing decisions? source This got me to thinking about what I'd like expressed more clearly and concisely someplace easy to find in game, and it's how stat ratings work. This has greatly improved in that the character window pane will calculate out how much actual hit percentage, or critical strike percentage, you currently have on gear but I really think the game could benefit from a means to work out what changing X or Y will do to your stats without having to go to an outside site. So what about you? What do you find confusing and think Blizzard could explain better? Item levels? How PvP stats work? The difference between content tiers? If it bugs you, tell us how you think Blizzard could explain it better. Mists of Pandaria is here! The level cap has been raised to 90, many players have returned to Azeroth, and pet battles are taking the world by storm. Keep an eye out for all of the latest news, and check out our comprehensive guide to Mists of Pandaria for everything you'll ever need to know.
You Don't Know Jack gets celebrity guests
I am a big fan of the You Don't Know Jack series as a whole, and I think the recently released iOS version is one of the best ways to play the game: It's social, it's quick and easy, and oh yeah, it's completely free. And now that version is getting even better -- Jellyvision has made some deals to include celebrity guests in the game. Not only will celebrities appear over the phone during the entire show (similar to the old "celebrity phone call" gag on the old versions of YDKJ, which I really loved), but they'll also have a place in the competition, competing alongside you and your Facebook friends as you play. The first celebrity picked to join the game is Mad Men's Rich Sommer, and model Adrienne Curry is set to join the game next, with other updates coming out on a monthly basis. I played through Sommer's show, and it's certainly chock full of plugs for his TV show, so presumably there's either some money going back and forth for these appearances, or the guys at Jellyvision are just big fans of AMC. Even if these are paid appearances, I'm not bothered. YDKJ is a great game that's been offering lots of great free content, and adding in celebrities in this way is an excellent way to both liven up the formula and keep the lights on. You can play the first celebrity ep of the game on iOS now, and more should be available soon.

Join us at 4AM ET for an 'ask me anything' Q&A with Nokia CEO Stephen Elop!
You may have since forgotten, but today was the original kick-off day for Nokia World 2012. With the big show canceled and the devices already launched, we instead opted to drop by the smartphone maker's headquarters just outside Helsinki. We're spending three days here in Finland, meeting with executives to get an inside look at the company's next-generation smartphone lineup. Our first face-to-face is with Nokia's chief executive himself, Stephen Elop, who has generously offered up 30 minutes to answer your questions. Because of the time constraints, we won't be able to accommodate every request, but we'll certainly do our best. There are two ways to submit your questions: leave a comment below, or you can send us a tweet @EngadgetLive -- once the session begins, we'll only be able to accept messages through Twitter, and you're welcome to ask questions before we start and as a follow-up to Stephen's responses, as well. In order to accommodate the largest possible audience, we'll be using our liveblog tool to post both questions and answers, so bookmark this page and hop on over there at 4AM Eastern tomorrow. As always, you'll also find the local time just below. Now about those questions... September 25, 2012 4:00 AM EDT

The virtual Q&A with Obama is set to start at 4:30 ET today via an ask me anything session on Reddit, so head on over to the source link and see if your President will see fit to answer your questions -- be they about health care, net neutrality or even the Cubs non-existent playoff chances.
Guild Wars 2: Account linking and you [Updated]
You are surely aware that Guild Wars 2 is nearing its headstart and launch dates. You might also know that players of both Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 have a bit of incentive to link their accounts. The Massively team has been getting a fair few questions about the ins and outs of account linking, so this here is a bit of a knowledge dump that'll hopefully sort out some problems.
