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.

Too much? Looks like they gave her breast-reduction surgery.

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

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!

Yes or No?
Ping!

The latest Apple/Mac/iOS Pings can be found by searching Keyword "ApplePingList" on FreeRepublic's Search.

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

The fact that Siri is both female and male (user's choice) and can be voiced as such, supports your visualization.

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