    I just clicked on it to see what the story was. Said 'beans', got 'new york'. Then I said 'plate', got 'wasps'. Needs work. Or I need serious speech therapy.

    Yeah it need work, my phone has an ap "Vingo" its a little better but still rubbish. Soon we might not need keyboards anymore.

    I wonder what that would do to these type of message boards.

    People with stutters and other speech impediments would be fucked so. Especially stutters - one word would probably take up an entire page.

    The thing with the microphone button/siri/Vlingo is that you look like a tool talking yo your device in public.

    I don't think that'll ever happen tbh!! I'd reckon 90% of texts sent in public you could never actually say out loud :pac:

    I think they are talking about Android Smart phones. It has a Google search bar that has a mic symbol. Essentially you talk to phone to search for something.:) Folks just remember not everyone has joined the smartphone revolution yet!!

    Well pizza is sexy, so that's accurate

    And Bieber is a whiny little tosspot, seems about right.
