Cortana coming to the Windows Phone? [03:04]
PCMags' biz choice award goes to.... [05:56]
Great episode guys! I really do hope they keep the Cortana name. It's all too appropriate.
Really like the Cortana idea. I do hope there would be a choice of voices like in a car nav system. I usually go with sexy-british-lady but Cortana would also be nice.
Also glad to hear they are going to wait until it's revolutionary and not just evolutionary. Current systems I've seen I probably wouldn't use that much even though they seem cool. On the other hand that does turn up the pressure a notch or two to deliver something amazing, which I guess is also good.
@Richard Simpson: Love the avatar pic. So very Sophisticated Saturdays.
So a huge nerf bat is needed to swing .Striking down somebody that doesn't agree.
The nerf bat of mass destruction. OMG it is a BFG.
I feel my days numbered. I face digital death with caps on.
I see the Ping home page is updated , and I changed my avatar. Not sure if this is better
