I’m a Macintosh bigot, so I really enjoyed this. Via Discovering Biology in a Digital World, a hilarious demonstration of speech recognition in Microsoft Windows Vista:

We’re gonna do a little perl script using the Windows Vista software recognition to show you how easy it is.

In fairness, the speech recognition seems to work really well. Programming may not be the best use of this technology, and this guy probably needs to learn a few new techniques to meet the computer half way… well, two-thirds of the way.
