come to think of it google, that's what I think of YOU

When someone leaves a voice message on Google Voice the service will transcribe it and send it as a text message. It's cool, and practical, because it's easier to scan a text than listening to someone talking.

Some words stump the software, though.

So, this is the reason I had a text message from a student that began, "Hi Professor crap, this is Laura...".

Thanks Google. If that's what you think of my last name.

there is an n-word that comes to mind (no, not that one, another one)... it's at the tip of my tongue

When you send an email from your iphone unless you delete it a default line will appear at the bottom: Sent from my iphone. Marketing move, obviously.

I just got an email from someone who had changed the word from iphone to i+his first name: Sent from my iMichael.

Something about that freaks me out.
