I didn't say anything about it performing better, I said it was better at understanding voice commands, which is what this article's headline says it is about. Can you do that same search using natural language without memorizing the term "navigate"?

Cell phone hacking isn't gadget-related?

Wait, because it's a couple seconds slower it's a gimmick? If I give a Siri device to my mom she'd be able to get the information she wanted, if I gave a Google Voice Actions device to my mom she wouldn't, and she definitely wouldn't if I gave her a device without either one. It's precisely because of that that…

Siri is all about understanding natural language, that's really the whole point behind it. I've used the two, and sure Google Voice Actions is faster, but with Siri you don't have to worry about how you word your request. Siri is better at understanding voice commands (which this article is NOT about, even though…

Read the article, it really had nothing to do with which was better at understanding voice commands. The headline was incorrect. Instead their tests measured what happened *after* they gave the voice commands. So yes, if the result of one is hands-free and the results of the other is not, then the hands-free one is…

But you said if you have to sneak around to do something, then you're doing something you know is wrong. But that's not true if you have to sneak to keep from getting ripped off.

Not really, because these days Proview makes displays, they don't make computers, cell phones, or tablets. Apple doesn't compete with them at all. Now, back in 1998 Proview ripped off the iMac design and called theirs the iPad, THAT was when they were competing with Apple. But that's ancient history now.

I disagree - this is a case where if they had said "We're Apple, we want to release a revolutionary tablet PC called iPad, please sell us your trademark", Proview would have replied with "Cha-ching!" Apple had to sneak around not because what they were doing was wrong, but to keep from being taken advantage of. The…

All gun owners aren't snipers...

I've never gotten the hatred for that scene. Unrealistic? Sure, who cares, this is an episode of a fun B-movie pulp-fiction series, not a documentary, and I think that was a fun thing for Indy to do. Other scenes in the movie, however, like swinging with the CGI monkeys or some of the over-acting by Marion, were…

You ARE being overly picky, or you didn't actually read the article but skimmed it. I mean, how can these statements be taken as saying that Windows is physically running on the device?

Come on, you're really picking at little things, the point is the experience is one of running Windows on the iPad. To any user that is what it will feel like. The article is very clear about what's going on, it even has a full section on how the iPad is only acting as a screen for the remote computer. And BTW, you…

No, that's a totally different issue. Old video games didn't display every pixel perfectly sharply on old TV's because of the screen tech, not because of the resolution. It looks more pixelated on your LCD monitor because the picture isn't being made by moving a light beam across the screen and telling it when to…

Nothing should look highly pixelated, because the resolution is exactly doubled in both X and Y, and the screen size is exactly the same. So sure, every pixel from your iPad 2 source when blown up for iPad 3 will be made up of a square of 4 [pixels...but] each of those 4x4 pixel blocks will be the exact same square…

My point was, if something costs $100 from [Ikea.com] plus $15 shipping, and the same thing costs $100 on [Amazon.com] but the shipping is free, then yes the shipping is free, it's not built into the purchase price. Amazon makes money with Prime in two ways: people who pay the $75 but don't use $75 worth of shipping…

...except that Amazon quite often has some of the best prices. So yes, it is actually free (after the $75 a year membership fee of course).

I dunno about his country, but in the US firing a weapon takes it from armed robbery to felony use of a firearm, which is a MUCH more serious offense. In many states that alone will get you 20 years in prison.

Only a moron would commit murder for the amount of money bar patrons would have on them.

Even in the article you posted: "Apple is not the only electronics company doing business within a troubling supply system. Bleak working conditions have been documented at factories manufacturing products for Dell, Hewlett-Packard, I.B.M., Lenovo, Motorola, Nokia, Sony, Toshiba and others." And "...assembles an…
