1) Has google partnered at all with any manufacturers to have this ability on a future car I can buy? 2) or as an upgrade to existing cars?
I'm hoping they don't get stuck in red tape legal limbo hell, and that more states other than my own Nevada jump on board. I regularly make 3.5 - 4 hour drive to friends in California. If I could just jump in the car, pop in an address, and take a nap, play on my iPad, or whatever while the car drove that'd be awesome. Or a ride home from a bar if I've been drinking and don't want to taxi and leave the car behind.
Or imagine a friend asks for a ride someplace? No problem, I send the car over on its own, and he can just tell it to come back to my house afterwards.
There are tons of ideas I can think of where this would be very damned useful.
Ok, I can see maybe searching for docs, but searching for an app? Am I the only one who keeps apps organized in nice folders and remembers where I put them?:-P
So, since you're the one accusing Apple of violating competition laws, and the US Government says they aren't, I'm the moron when my arguments are based in reality? Oh...k.
This function seems to be working just fine and dandy. You can make an argument about features, but in reality as Google and Apple release updates each is getting more and more sophisticated. In this iOS 6 beta on my iPad Apple has added a ton of useful Siri functions, and it's never had any real problems understanding me. But to each their own.
Yet another "that's so obvious" claim. If in fact it's so obvious why was no other smartphone doing it before Apple? Go ahead and watch the original iPhone keynote where Steve Jobs shows that feature, and note the gasp/applause from the audience.
It may seem obvious to you now, but in the January 2007 keynote it was shocking, as was everything Apple was showing about the iPhone. People here are really forgetting how "future insane" the iPhone was compared to ANYTHING else back in 2007.
Except "Google Maps" on iPhone was actually "MAP DATA" from google, UI by Apple. All Apple did with iOS 6 was ditch Google Maps data for TomTom maps data. The UI/functionality was always Apple's.
Then why in the 132 page Samsung doc they specifically mention: "iPhone: has Copy/Paste Function" and "S1: Not Supported" "Reccomendation: Add Copy/Paste"?
Looks and functions so much worse than Google Maps. Oh wait, it's better. As far as YouTube, that's Google, not Apple. Apple's license with Google expired, and Google is making an AppStore replacment that will undoubtedly be available by the time iOS 6 launches to the public.
Before the legal fiasco began, Google warned Samsung not to copy Apple: In February 2010, Google told Samsung that Samsung’s “P1” and “P3” tablets (Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1) were “too similar” to the iPad and demanded “distinguishable design vis-à-vis the iPad for the P3.”
Jeez, my 10" 3rd Gen iPad has close to the same resolution as that 27" Monitor (2048x1536, 266DPI)...
Really though, Computer displays have been lagging resolution wise, hopefully with the Retina displays on the new iPad and MacBook Pro other computer manufacturers will stop sticking us with low res LCDs on PC laptops/desktops.
I'm right here, and if you'd read the article you'd know this is a complete non-issue. I'd explain why yet again, but instead I'll tell you to see my previous explanation in these comments, or many others explanations, or advise you to read the article.
No, because the app, and any update done to it are still iOS apps. They run on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad. There is no way for them to run code on a Windows PC to extract files from itself and run the malware.
Liable for what? Show me a single user whose Computer was infected due to this app. If you read and understood the article you'd know you couldn't show me a single infected user.

Unless you're holding your iPad at about 3" from your eye, Apple's definition is accurate and much better than anyone else's displays.
I live in Reno, and Google's Self Driving cars are legal on road here (complete with cool plates with infinity logo: http://www.jumpthecurve.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/18164996_BG1.jpg)
A few things:
1) Has google partnered at all with any manufacturers to have this ability on a future car I can buy?
2) or as an upgrade to existing cars?

Question: what the heck are you going to be "searching" for when offline?

New Siri features in iOS 6:

And Apple hasn't been nailed for it, nor is anyone but the Android fan boys even bringing it up. So who's the moron?
Helll, the 3GS had voice controls and access to voice search apps. I guess "finally getting it" means "has had it as long as the other players".

Specifically, pages 17 and 112.
Really? Because a quick peek at the AppStore on my iPad seems to show Google has no issues putting apps up:

But keep wearing that tinfoil hat brother!
Yeah, because this:

While Mars was cut, there still is a 3 boobed hooker, so it's not all bad. Just mostly.
Mostly I don't like the fact that it isn't Chrome.
Because doing all that is easy?
Well, since most of Samsungs ideas came from Steve Jobs, at least it'd be honest ;-)
...Google disagrees with you:

Yeah, it's amazing what Samsung can accomplish when they work for Apple, instead of copying them.

I admit my error in phrasing that had nothing to do with the point being made.

When I say from scratch, I mean "nothing in common code wise from OS9". It'd be like comparing Win 3.1 codebase to Windows 8.
