haha yeah I mean the environmental/progress implications aside - I just think they look nice. I've never looked at a windmill and though "EW! What a hideous thing! I just want to tear my eyes out!"

I of course had to instantly google it.

Maybe. That is certainly more believable than that this is a serious video.

Yeah that's a real shame, especially considering it's really the military's call, as they're the ones moving it overseas.

Ah very interesting - that would make a lot of sense. Results could be completely different with a different language parser.

Hey thanks for the star!

Interesting. I wasn't able to duplicate that. That is one of the responses that is usually cycled when she's responding with "The one you're holding", I just forgot to mention it. There may be others. The "canned" responses usually have several variants to make her seem a bit more human.

Ah ok. This seems like a situation where it would be applied, given their history with Google.

I thought they weren't allowed to make apps that duplicate native functionality? Or is that no longer the case?

For anyone saying that Siri says it's the "one you're holding" or something similar, the difference is the addition of the word "ever" to the query:

The moment I realized that, I became very very sad.

The first half was good when I thought it was a parody.

Great. Now I want to watch the Ghostbusters.

Ah ok - I wasn't sure how that was classified. I know that the USPS doesn't bring it that final leg overseas (in the case of APO's).

My understanding of this is that it's only for international shipments. APO's are not international. They're stateside military bases that the USPS delivers to, which then get shipped by the military to their final overseas destination. Do you really think that the USPS is delivering right to the door of some base…

Yeah, I hear ya man. It's absolutely nuts. It made me chuckle when you said "I'm not going to drop 15 bucks on something I'm only going to watch once", because I just saw the Avengers the other day, and it cost me $14. A dollar more and I could own it at some point in the future. But don't get me started on the…

Yeah, I'd go along with that.

Maybe they are trying to look busy, solving a problem with no practical solution.

In their defense, most of those people are just employees doing a job - why should they see any profit? There is a real risk, some people/organizations invest lots of money in making a movie - if they didn't see a tangible return, there would be no incentive to risk that kind of money, and thus there would be no…

It's more of a programmer's text editor.
