  8. Re:Can someone please be ORIGINAL on Siri Competitor Evi Arrives, But Already Overloaded · · Score: 1

    Now might not be a right time to stand out in front even if a product is good as Apple got its spot reserved in the peoples' minds (both sides alike). It looks like even if a startup or AMZN comes up with a cool product in related areas before Apple, people would wonder how fantastic Apples' counter would be. In fact, it feels reasonable when someone says "I am not buying a TV this time, want to see the (rumored) Apples iTV".

  9. Observations on Siri Competitor Evi Arrives, But Already Overloaded · · Score: 3, Informative

    Speech Recognition is good. Many questions bumped back with server busy message - difference being it promises to respond when it is able to.
    - Call X: Server busy - Thought this is something it can fetch from phone more than from its server.
    - Email X: I do not know how to that yet. Ask me for any information.
    - Calendar: Online calendars are Google Calendar, Yahoo! Calendar, O2 Calendar. (Those are hyperlinked words which would take you to another Evi Screen with Visit buttons.)
    - Distance to Moon: May be you want something about the moon? Try this webpage Moon - Wikipedia. (Hyperlinked to Moon wiki page).
    - Stock price of Apple: Try Quote.com for stock
    - Height of Everest: Mount Everest's' elevation is 8850 meters, 29000 feet.

    - The long sorry message read out is not you would want to hear more than a couple of times in the that unattractive robotic tone.
    - It apparently depends on or uses a Text To Service other than the default one. And so the I selected (Pico TTS) is stopping if I am silent for more than 10s with out any audible warning. Which forces me to look whats happening and click on the listen button again.
    - One issue that arises with a non-inbuilt TTS is Evi is not in control of the entire end to end experience and can be messed up pretty easily due to the TTSs' clicks, timeouts, quality, capabilities.

    What pisses many people most? Siri can't understand them and derides them (more confirmations/suggestions) and on top of it bills them more than the rest!!

  13. Re:Absolute joke on News Corp. Pays Out For Voicemail Hacking Victims · · Score: 1

    While the act is a mere eyewash, complaining Mr. Murdoch still being a bn'aire is not sound in judgement.
    For example, his transferring of all his $s to all the poor in the world does not make him clean.
    This is a purely legal/political move which would give them at least some sort of bragging rights
    on their vast broadcasting arena to change peoples' perception (even by a bit) to their benefit.

    yes, it's marked as flamebait but the intentions were never to call them thugs. But to show the light in which a news byte might troll about it.
    I am not sure how many of them have a good idea of what they are not/supporting.

    Very quickly it can upturn the original argument and make every approaching/staring cop a likely victim of a tripping trigger hands.
    It can be useful when then range of scanner is farther/faster/wider than the gun.
