I really wanted to ask him to open the pod bay doors too.

Also see the vaguely written [Brazelton] I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I've passed on.

I love asking Siri to open the pod bay doors.

I just asked google to do that, and it said, "I can't do that. But there's a spare key under the flowerpot outside the pod bay airlock. You can let yourself in."

I've gotten a sarcastic "ha, ha, ha." Also "I am going to report you for abusing robotic life."

I didn't know Brazelton threads belonged in the media section. Oops!

One of the first things I did when I got Siri was asked her to sing me a song. Sure enough, it was Daisy Bell.

I've heard Cortana sing several different songs, even a lullaby.
