Speech recognition is nice, but all of this is going through Google's servers. Besides not working offline, do we really want Google listening in on every thing on the Internet?
- melling 12y agoHey, you're that guy who always warns us about Google like we're all idiots. If it's optional I don't see the problem. Some people are not capable using a keyboard and a mouse, for example. Let's not let our paranoia ruin it for them. Others of us would simply like to kick back and surf the web without reaching for the keyboard or mouse. As for not working offline, I usually prefer to be online when I'm surfing the web anyway.
- tree_of_item 12y agoI'm what guy? Are you implying I've made a comment like this before? If other people have brought it up, it's because it should be brought up. As for offline, Google likes to push things like Chrome apps working offline, so it does matter regardless of your snark.
- melling 12y agoNo, it's just the standard comment made on HN. It probably doesn't represent the population in general and it doesn't add anything to the conversation.
