Voice Recognition Failure

(YouTube link)

Markus Johansen is Norwegian, but he is speaking English in this Audi, which is either a  rental car or a demo. The car speaks English but has a definite problem with accents. The general consensus is that the car will do anything to avoid playing Nickleback.

But it makes you think: How useful is voice recognition technology globally? Besides the many different languages, there are many accents within each language even among native speakers. And those who speak whatever language is used as a second language are often just plain out of luck. -via Daily of the Day

They may be spider webs but they look more like gypsy moth webs to me. Get enough of them on a tree and the larvae will eat every leaf and kill the tree.

whoever wrote this article has no idea what theyre talking about. those arent giant spider webs; theyre caterpillars. i tried to follow the source, but it led me to a dead end. we have them in georgia all the time. its a family of caterpillars who build their nests in trees and use the webs for body warmth among other things. i think it helps them preserve heat by like 70% if i recall correctly..
