Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Our wings are not tired

I've had the opposite experience. Seagates are my preferred drives. I've had bad luck with Western Digital.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Great strides have been made hacking Siri back to iPhone 4 and even to the iPad...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's not actually usable yet, it's it?

Gah! How do I get my Android to read my texts to me? I've pretty much worked out what I can get Voice Search and Voice Commands (now called Jeannie--cute, guys) to be marginally useful (but if they could message via Google Voice they'd be MUCH better), but I can't have a text conversation, since I need to do lots of hands stuff to read the replies.

eta: Great. Pannous says that they can read SMS messages with Jeannie, but not HOW. Cute, guys.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I just realized that I would like Siri a whole lot more if they had called it "Dianne".

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I imagine my friend Siri feels the same.

You could ask her to recommend hotels that are clean and reasonably priced.

I don't get the Dianne reference.

Man, Android app documentation is sparse, even for ones that aren't free.

She was a secretary, I suppose?
