Technology can kiss my ass!

I downloaded a new application for my iPhone yesterday. Vlingo is a free service that enables voice activated web searches. I’m not a patient person, so while it downloaded on my phone I tested it out on a co-worker’s phone.
Because I’m a narcissist I searched my own name, but because I mumble at times my results didn’t exactly reflect Sarah Nielson. Instead I ended up with this search:
Now I know that “but” and “butt” are different words, but I’m just a tad sensitive about butts lately. Those damn holidays are directly responsible for my jeans not fitting as they should. When I gain any weight it goes straight to my ass. How an iPhone knew that is beyond me. Smart phones indeed.

I suppose the real test would be trying me name. If the search yeilds the same results, then we expose the technology for the evil it really is…
Keep posting those so I will literally laugh my holiday ass off!
I know what you mean. The first person that LinkedIn recommended I should connect with is a woman I’d previously hooked up with and hadn’t seen or spoken to, let alone thought of, in years. I didn’t even have any of her contact information. How do these apps know these things?
You should be in the next Beyoncé video!!!
I have the Google™ voice recognition app?
Every time I say something into it I just get the response “Doofus” or “Kumquat”. Then I realized I had the IQ-meter function turned on… I hid my iPhone under my mattress ever since.
Perhaps this explains why my Tivo suggested I might like to record the show Ruby on the Style Channel.
So if “Sarah” sounds like “big butt” to the iPhone, do you think “Andi” would sound like “Effing Ginormous Ass”??
And you think I should get an iPhone why? I don’t think my self esteem can handle an iPhone.
Ditto Eric. Google will be nicer to you, I promise.
Hee hee hee..Sorry, hee hee..That is too funny….
ps. I need this for my iPhone..Robin will probably sound like ‘Big Ass Nose’
