    I was just thinking this morning, if you have any children in the next decade or so, you shouldn't name them: > Alexa > Cortana > Orenthal Kierkegard ("OK") Giugelle > Siri No hard examples of why or why not, just thinking out loud here...

              Really? Far worse is discussed in the Lounge with no one saying a word about Soapbox. I mention two words and you have to mention the soapbox. Interesting.

              Error: cannot use "==" on types "System.Donald" and "System.Obama". "System.Donald" is a value type (to the 1800s) and "System.Obama" is a reference type (to the 21st century).

                Oddly enough we were in the shopping centre (mall) yesterday, and overheard a lady calling out "Alexa, come here", to a small child.

                      Luckily you can rename the services instead. So instead of Cortana or Alexa you can name them Harvey. Your wife will love that. Not sure if that is possible with Siri though.

                        Some people have surnames as first names and I've seen first names as surnames as well. Go figure.

                            I have Alexa and a friend I talk to over Skype has Hey Google. We try to provoke arguments between them. But it is educational...just this morning I asked Alexa for the winning 6/49 Lottery numbers and she cited a quote from the Bible, Luke 6:49
