What's the big deal? Google doesn't understand everything..

What's the big deal?  Google's Voice recognition (iTunes link) which is finally live doesn't understand every word we speak?  Sure it works fairly quicky and acurately for people over the age of five.  I am amazed at how good it works for me and my wife.  But what about the two month old demographic?  When will they be served?  Age discrimination isn't funny people.

 

By the way Google came up with "n" which according to Oprah means he's hungry.  Scary.

Again, the extreme hype of the iPhone can't outshine the BlackBerry in the enterprise.

For me, I can use my BlackBerry today to call and talk to my secretary, who can answer any question - and she can always understand my voice, and replies to me in spoken language.

iPhone users are too smug - and I have no idea why. With the iPhone, you don't have a two button mouse, and you have to hit "CMD-." all the time to quit a frozen app, and it doesn't even have a floppy drive OR a modem port. Dialup to FidoNet BBS? Forget it! Not with the iPhone. Plus, there is no command line, and no C: drive - and that means you can't even "delete file.txt"!

Give me my BlackBerry any day of the week.

Keep on keeping on, baby. You

First three tries were enough for me to give up.

I know... Sure there are lots of 'humorous' Brit kicking replies in the wing waiting - So feel free. I'd hate to disappoint.

Thirty years from now, you'll be sitting by the fireplace with your newborn grandchild, pondering your first Google words! Mine were (in my best MTV-accent) pizza and Beatles.
Everything else in life is luxury :)
Hail Google!
