Windows Vista speech recognition

Ever been woken up and had a conversation with someone that you don't remember properly later ?

I have. A few years ago I'd been up until the wee hours of the morning writing code for some deadline project. At about 8:30 am my mother rang me to talk to me about something, she said "you sound sleepy, did I wake you up ?".

"Yes, I was up all night working on a voice recognition system".

"Wow, that sounds complicated".

"Yes it is".

"OK, well why don't you give me a call later on".

"OK..zzzzzzz"

I'd been working on no such thing of course, I'd obviously been dreaming something about voice recognition (yes folks, working too hard will mess with you). A few hours later the bizarre thought entered my head that I'd had a strange conversation about voice recognition. A quick phone call confirmed the fact.

Ever since then, the very mention of voice recognition makes me chuckle. This video however, made me laugh out loud.

In the time it took him to do that, I could have written the better part of a short essay at 100 words per minute; I'll stick to keys for the moment thanks.
