So the missus is okay with you having a mistress who takes care of 'almost' you every need?  

Come to think of it, which I do, Cortana does have one of those sexy voices that fantasies [read wet dreams] are made of.  If the last thing I heard before going to sleep was Cortana's voice, who knows what I'd dream of?  I'd sure as heck wake up with my hand on my.... er, alarm clock, repeatedly pressing snooze and thinking "just five minutes more... just ten minutes more... just fifteen minutes ......".

In the end I'd probably turn off the alarm so's I could stay in bed with Cortana all day.

Now that has me wondering... for all those wife-less blokes out there... and there'd be lots of 'em.... is if Cortana could be installed in a blow-up doll. 

But, has she stopped with the "You left the toilet seat up, again!" thing?

Betcha Cortana doesn't say that to you!  

Thing is, with the constant reminders... read nagging, he doesn't lift the seat up anymore.

Ya just gotta wonder what his next course of action will be when gets tired of hearing: "You've pissed on the damned seat.... AGAIN!!!!!" 

Yeah, she'd be going: "That does not compute, that does not compute......"

Quoting moshi,

three weeks? ok, then i'll take that back. Cortana isn't much of a privacy problem if she's that slow.

Google Now knew that instantly.

Oh I'm not saying she didn't know that right away..........she just let me in on the fact that SHE knew a bit later.......you know seems less creepy that way! 

not true i have close to two thousand real books and that number keeps increasing  nothing beats the feeling or smell of a book and i will never use an e reader or computer to read a book because it removes any immersion you get  

Staying in touch with yer feminine side, eh!   Thing is, seriously, more blokes oughta do it, given how so many leave puddles in front of [and beside] the bowl.

More toilets should have the sign: "Men, please stand closer... it may be alot shorter than you think."

You'll have no secrets by the time they're done... like I've been told women tend to gossip while on the throne.

Oh, and if you talk in your sleep, I advise not to take Cortana to bed with you.  Yeah, she can repeat stuff at the most inopportune times.... like, "who farted" while you're in the supermarket surrounded by a multitude of middle-class/upper-class housewives.  Now I'm tellin' ya, you don't walk away from a situation like that without a red face... and of course there's other bedroom activities/conversations you'd rather didn't become publc knowledge: "Oh darling, you forgot to take your little blue pill again, didn't you !!!!!"

And Google is listening !!!

What is an "electrical book", pray tell and what makes them odd?

Google is a known NSA front. However, if you have nothing to hide, there is no reason for fear

The only way to have nothing to hide is to have nothing to begin with. Then its true.

I must be the odd person out then because I'm not guilty of anything, must be because of all the napping I do. 

Oh, wait a minute, I guess I'm guilty of...........wait for it.........it will come to me.......damn, can't remember.        

Now I know that is not true, you want to know how, my parents told me so.  Seems some religious person took their sins all away.  No quilt or evil in this family tree, not too much smarts either.   Oh well.    

With all the typos I make on this dinky machine with a cursor that has a mind of its own, going this and that, jumping to the beginning of a sentence like it just did......never mind. Lol  

Jafo, I no longer allow Google on my PC because even if you uninstall their software, their update app (update.exe?) remains on your system in several places.  The only way to get it completely off one's system is via regedit.  To me, that makes Google spyware.  It's rather sad as they make a great browser but It needs to be clean and not so invasive. 

My SIL is a super geek with a major defense company and he doesn't like Google either - and I thought it was just me.  Remember all of those street cameras Google has/had?  That was to develop facial recognition software.  Those self driving vehicles they are working on could also be used to deliver just about any payload one could think of.  Google has an NSA contract along with Microsoft so they're not alone.  Just look at what we had to turn off with Windows 10.  I'm not paranoid but I resent being spied upon and lately, it seems to be getting worse.  I am seriously considering a switch to Linux but will bide my time and see how Windows 10 turns out.
