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

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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?

Diane never appeared in the series; she could have been Kyle Maclachlan's imaginary friend.

The following gets rid of list item borders in FF and chrome but not in IE. Have not done CSS in so long I plain don't remember ...

#navlist { display: inline; list-style-type: none; padding-top:20px;padding-right:2px; padding-left:2px; }

#navlist ul li a:hover {background-color: #FF3;}

#navlist ul li {border-width: 0 0 0 0; border-style:none;}

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Amazon's Free App of the Day today is OfficeSuite Pro 5. Looks like it might be useful on a tablet, dunno about on a phone.
