Clearing out my tabs: video edition

Microsoft's TellMe vs Apple's Siri in a voice-recognition match versus the Australian Accent:

Hmm, looks like MS need to do a little bit more work on that one. Know anyone that's played witha Lumia yet? I'm still not sure which way to jump next upgrade.

If it counts, then I know the guy who wrote this:

I'll have you know that you are personally responsible for about eight or ten of my tabs -- one link set per day, each spawning 2-10 more tabs -- that I hadn't had time to sift through and queue for resharing. :)

Yay!

I've been enjoying your links a lot too!

And to be fair, I probably share just as many links, but I parcel them out up-to-5 at a time, rather than one link post per day. :)

Loved the Siri bit. It's actually pretty useful, even without the direct functionality to maps, traffic Nd businesses outside of the US... 'search the web for...' fills most of the gap.

Being able to send text messages hands free has been especially useful.
