Technology News: Soon We'll Be Talking to Our Computers

This is CNN:

Opera Software is developing a new Internet browser that allows users to talk to their computer, the company announced Tuesday.

The new browser incorporates IBM's ViaVoice technology, enabling the computer to ask what the user wants and "listen" to the request. Opera declined to give a launch date.

Matt's Chat

I've used earlier versions of Via Voice and while I liked it, there were some problems with it. I hear that they have improved the product; but if the rest of the article is any indication, it is going to be a while...
