Those very clever people from Google have “upgraded” the Google search application for the iPhone. No longer are you restricted to typing in your query on the iPhone keyboard (somewhat of a challenge); now you can speak your search terms and Google will interpret them.
A couple of problems with this. First of all there is the problem of yelling your search terms into your phone in a public place. You may be comfortable with typing “Norwegian nympho nurses” using the keyboard (and if you are, you are one sick individual; everyone knows that Danish nympho nurses are best); but shouting out the phrase in a public place may get you some looks.
The other problem is that the voice interpretation is a little flaky, to the extent that it doesn’t really work. Scream “global financial meltdown” in the general direction of the phone and it will be OK, it was obviously expecting that. But “Pattaya Days” produced “mafia Denny’s”, “Bangkok protests” gave me useful information on “Macbook Pro Tennis” and “this is a raid, give me all your money” promptly returned “the civil rights grab all my money”. All useless, apart from the last one which was fun to shout next to a line of people queuing at an ATM.
I then got bored and offered it nonsense, to see what nonsense I would get in return. “I’m a pink trombone” returned “line dancing Toronto”, and a come-hither look from a passing ladyboy. Finally I shouted the immortal line from The Prodigy, “slap my bitch up”, which provided “slipknot dick chop”, and a very interesting selection of websites.
Google voice search, you won’t find what you are looking for, but you will find some surprisingly gruesome videos of genitals being removed.
