For the services rendered to Google Voice, I think it is still worth it to use it even if the updates are far and few in between. It is what I use when I travel internationally and cannot use my phone. Hop on wifi and I can see all the messages that were sent to me and call out as well. Although the app (for…

So will this allow me to achieve my paranoid vision of being able to make a custom voice trigger like "Good evening, Officer" and have it trigger an audio recording app?

I was disappointed, too. Where are the robots exploring and building on other planets?
