LAS VEGAS, Jan 9 (Reuters) – YouTube is looking to
increase viewership on its online video service by making the
service available on an array of connected devices and by adding
new content, according to a top executive for the Google Inc
unit.

The next challenge for the popular service, which already
has 800 million viewers a month, is to make YouTube a more
central part of these viewers’ lives, said Robert Kyncl, YouTube
vice president in charge of content partnerships.

Las Vegas (Reuters) – Apple Inc will again dominate conversations at CES, the world’s biggest technology showcase. Only this time, the talk is extending beyond iPad and iPhone chatter to include “Siri,” the voice app that is capturing consumers’ imagination.

Apple’s dulcet-voiced, speech-controlled personal assistant, a key factor in making the iPhone 4S a blockbuster, has breathed new life into the once-obscure and oft-maligned world of speech-recognition technology.
