> Siri is Cortana after a lobotomy. That's how good the new Microsoft assistant is. If Apple was smart they would license Cortana from Microsoft.

No need. Microsoft is building Cortana for iOS, albeit a "lobotomized" version for starters.

Cortana just showed up on my phone one day. I had no idea what it was, tried to remove it and failed, so there it sits. Now (this very minute) I learn it is some kind of audio interface. Oh yay, another way to intrude on me. Joy joy.

Google’s is ridiculously buggy. I don’t even bother anymore

Sound like Cortana won. Especially when the author didn’t even use the best feature. Try saying octane next time I’m near a flower store remind me to buy flowers for my mom.

That feature is awesome. Has Siri our Google copied that yet

Uh, Siri has always been able to set reminders for when you got to locations.

To use Cortana on iOS you have to invoke the Cortana app. . . and then ask it something. It is not just there like Siri.

Siri and all other Apple products are far less intrusive then anything offered by Google.

I don’t know if people completely understand that Everything you say or search for within Google’s suite of products is kept forever and can be used in whatever way Google sees fit, ie: your user search engine history, where you’ve been, contacts, etc.
Google’s Cortana digital assistant database servers permanently record Everything a user asks of it.
No thank you.

“Then I tried the famous line from “2001: A Space Odyssey” in which astronaut Dave Bowman tells the ship’s computer: “Open the pod bay doors.” Cortana knows the right answer: “I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.” But Siri had a better one: “Doesn’t anybody knock anymore?”

I tried it with Siri just now. She said, “but the cat will get out!”

Lol.

Several months ago you posted on how to totally delete everything that is on google.

I did it on my computer but did not save the instructions so that I could help some others. Would you please post them again?
