Computers already rule the world

Computers are making us in their image. With the new Mac OS X iSync update the system adds voice synthesized tags for all my address book entries on my phone My new Nokia N70 adds voice synthesized tags for all my address book entries (the voice tags are added by the phone itself). Now I can voice dial from my bluetooth car kit (or from my bluetooth helmet adaptor) without the trouble of recording the voice tags individually – as long as I sound like an american robot tourist trying to pronounce portuguese names. As it’s said, hilarity ensued! Other drivers now have the pleasure of, besides seeing me speaking to myself alone in the car, see me speaking to myself alone in the car, making faces, and giggling!
