    That HP one is great. I wish I'd thought of it. Telling people technology is voice-enabled is always good for a laugh. A while back a friend needed to borrow my cell phone and asked how to turn the screen on. I told her to just say "Phone on" and it would wake up. She went outside and tried for several minutes before coming back in to the bar to yell at me. VICTORY.

    You can actually set Samsung (all android?) phones to come on at a specific voice command. I would think it eats up the battery always listening.

    This one fooled me for about 30 seconds, because "OMG HOLY FUCK IS IT TRUE?!"

    Then I realized "how the fuck is Gina going to make 135 lbs? She'd be a stick figure."

    One of the radio stations here played a tape (or something) of one of their competitors after an ad break to make listeners think they'd tuned in to the wrong station. Don't really know the details.

    That reminds me of Drew's voice activated big screen TV. Circa 1999.

    Drew, as in fud yeah? His turn of phrase is enough to make a prostitute blush.

    Going by what he used to shout at the screen during those heated Xbox Live sessions, it's probably unfortunate that his TV wasn't also an automated sex robot.
