Prof. Plum in the library with Google Now
-
As invasive and somewhat creepy I find Google Now's attempt to understand my life, I also find it mostly useful (and fascinating) especially for flight reminders. This morning I took one second to quickly check my phone and then put it back into sleep, then, wait, what? For a split second it seemed like a Google death threat, or a scheduled event I'd rather not know of. The thought cracked me up, thinking of movies like A.I, Matrix, and basically any robot apocalypse, so I thought I'd share. clickety[^] The word "Die" translates to "The" in English.

And your reminder about Google Now reminded me to get started with it again. I had to reset my phone this morning, without an auto-restore, also courtesy of Google, because I suspect some app somewhere was guzzling all my prepaid data.

Some of us even wondered why Bob would use the feminine die to refer to Bart, instead of the masculine der. :rolleyes:
