Anyone who uses voice recognition software on their phone might as well call up NSA and invite them over for a full security invasion.

They Used a Scrapped Plot from Halo 1 when Cortana was going to go Crazy thinking should could take over the Galaxy using the Halo Rings... somehow.
But they shoehorned that ditched idea for Halo 5.

And turned her into an older zombie. Yikes...!

That's from Halo, right? Yeah, the older versions where she is a beautiful young woman.
BTW, that choice of photo is from the original Register article.

Microsoft is offering Cortana (somewhat crippled -- the article calls it lobotomized) for iOS devices. Does anyone think they will install it on their iPhones or iPads? -- PING!

Cortana on Apple?
Yes or No?

In contrast, I picture Siri as more of hybrid of some flat-chested Asian teen and metrosexual pajama boy.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...
