Now google has the data, and they almost defaulted the option for everyone. That gives them a big boost in data receives which they could use for marketing "(hey guys you remember you got × amount of image loads, we made your images get loaded by × more users now if you want the data we got it right here for the right price.)"


The most backwards thing is that when I tell the truth it is seen as a lie because they never hear the truth. (In their vision whatever you answer first to their question is a lie, to cover up something bigger)


I miss hooking up 2-4 controllers and play with your gang online. Only a limited few support this. You just need some friends to bring their controller and that one friend that doesn't have a controller can use the spare one (the one with the trigger that doesn't spring back like the others). No they want you to just stay home and use a headset to talk with your friends. xbox one tries to fill the gap by letting you share gameplay quickly. (because that is what you basically do when you are together, you all show everyone cool stuff and laugh about fails).

My experience with the xbox one so far is that it is not all that smooth, and I can turn someone elses xbox off by saying it (even when im off screen) Think its possible for the kinect to watch the lips of the signed in player so it can verify that the player is speaking, not the troll that masters the "xbox turn off, yes" command. But in the end for me the xbox voice commands are fun and I don't think it will fade away since it is easier to use voice. (Also needs fixing, is the part where a paused game randomly resumes)


I find it a lot easier to press the xbox button than say, "Xbox.... Go Home".

Perhaps for things like "Xbox record that" but most stuff I think the voice commands are a novelty.
