make sure nothings near the proximity sensor when you use "Hey Siri". that will cause it to cancel.

I use it for navigation on my garbage phone for poors because gently caress entering addresses by hand and it works really well in my experience, probably because it has a fairly defined context from position data. But then again i've been consistently impressed with the quality of Google's voice recognition, maybe only the French team is competent or something.

my friend has this byzantine system where he uses apple music and icloud music library as well as using itunes to sync 5000 of his favourite songs to his phone over USB like a loving caveman

then he hosed around with it and turned off iclour music library and was like "all my songs are gone! gently caress you apple!!!


...oh also I hit ctrl+a delete in itunes at some point BUT CLEARLY ITS APPLES FAULT THAT I HAVE TO SYNC MY PLAYLIST AGAIN AND REBUILD MY APPLE MUSIC LIKES"

yeah most big apple complaints end up being from people who break their poo poo somehow and want to bring the Best Computing Company down a peg because they don't want to blame themselves.

itunes sync is in the grave, and they've got the shovels out and they're shovelling dirt on it. the only apple product that does not have some kind of wireless data transfer is the shuffle. one day they are going to release an iphone with no ports at all, it will have induction charging and wireless communication and that's it. nerds will cry a river of tears and the tears will be delicious.

I'd use it in a car setting - connecting a win 8 phone to aux or Bluetooth would make Cortana prompt you about texts when they came in. I'm not sure how to make my iPhone do it when on Bluetooth, but it sorta does it with CarPlay, albeit way slower and clunkier than my old setup. Siri is too loving wordy, and a lot pickier with what you can tell it in that context.

Thanks Intel. Thanks Microsoft. Let's build a Kinect voice activation into EVERY PC

does cortana get confused by audio playing out of the computer itself?

adventures in the microsoft store today
- the big xbox kinect display outside had "windows 10" ads all over it
- sales staff bugged me twice and offered coupon "today only" $50 off that fitness band thing
- confirmed "trs10" is the admin password on win10 tablets
- random passerby came up to me and asked if i knew the way to the apple store

also i'm surprised that the apple store wasn't within eyesight of the microsoft store, every MS store i've seen so far has been weirdly positioned almost next to an apple
