I worked at Market Strategies International
MSI is a stable and growing company, which seems to be unusual in Detroit. They have a strong and growing position in tracking research.
As with many marketing research companies their employees tend to lack business acumen. Lower level employees seem to feel there are few growth opportunities, with many employees stagnating in place for extended periods. For employees, lacks the breadth of experience found at other companies for which I have worked.
Word on the street is that lower level employees are frustrated with an inability to grow professionally. I've heard this from several people.

"A culture of smart, ethically-centered people "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Market Strategies InternationalPros
There are a lot of really smart, committed, forward-thinking people in this organization--and, given the relatively entrepreneurial culture, it is possible to change the company by getting out in front of an initiative and pushing hard. The quality of the work being done here is truly a cut--and often several cuts--above what's going on in other parts of the industry. Finally (and this may sound weird, in these times), this is a company that really has an ethical center. There is a kind of old-world probity to the way that the company is managed and the way people treat their work.Cons
The company is certainly in more of a growth mode than it has been historically--and growth inevitably means change. So far, those changes have been good changes, but that's something that requires constant care and feeding. The concern is that senior management continue to stay focused on the right kinds of strategic growth for the company--and communicate the growth plan (if and as it changes) to everyone throughout the organization.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Continue to work hard at listening to employees throughout the organization--not just listening to senior managers. Continue the ongoing focus on quality and ethical standards. Keep focused on long-term strategic vision, not quarterly financials (which, so far, has not been an issue...but is always a bit of a worry when you're majority-owned by a private equity company).RecommendsApproves of CEO

Part of the problem with the perception of guards is that it sometimes feels like you just plug in a mountain of a man and call the position filled. LTs that can't move go there and that drops the prestige a bit as well. What qualifications exist for guard that makes that a goal for someone to strive for? You could be strong as they come but if you're athletic as well, you'll be an RT or, if you're very athletic, maybe a LT.
So how many good-great tackles would've been all-pro guards if they'd been moved inside? Instead, they had some athleticism so they got bumped outside. For example, see Albert in KC who everyone gushed over as a guard but he's been a solid LT instead.
It's kinda like the special teams of the OL. If you were better, you'd be playing elsewhere.

Suspect Surrenders After 2 Pursuits
BENTON COUNTY, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28) -- One person is in custody accused of leading authorities on two separate chases Thursday. The first began around 8:30am when a deputy spotted a stolen pickup east of Blairstown. After giving chase, the deputy lost the suspect on a gravel road but radioed to other law enforcement agencies a description of the vehicle.
Less than three hours later, a trooper with the Iowa State Patrol spotted a suspect vehicle and a second chase began. This time, troopers say, speeds topped 80mph on muddy dirt roads near Newhall.
Authorities say the trooper struggled to keep up with the pickup because of the muddy conditions and was forced to back off. But three other troopers had already positioned themselves on Highway 30 ahead of the suspect's vehicle.
When the man approached the troopers, he stopped and surrendered. The suspect is now in the custody of the Benton County Jail on multiple charges.

The following paragraph is one of the last things I have written to be inserted in my book Raised With Christ at this last major round of edits. It was inspired by a fantastic song on the fantastic new CCK album:One of the most emotive events in the whole Bible takes place when a friend of Jesus dies. The pain of Lazarus' sister is tangible. In a sense everything the Bible has shown us about the problem of death climaxes at this moment. Suddenly we see the compassion of Jesus and the strength of … [Read more...]
God Of Compassion – What The Lazarus Story Shows Us
The Main Message Of The Rich Man And Lazarus:
We are such wretches that even a resurrected preacher would not be enough to guarantee our salvation! BUT Although unmentioned, this points to the coming savior – Jesus paints the problem to make us ready to hear the solution: There is a Jesus who stooped to do what the Rich Man wouldn't! Jesus came to the lowly to lift them from the ash heap. Matthew 1:21 "you shall call his name Jesus(=God saves), for he will save his people from their sins." Autistic boy's mom: When I scraped my son's fa … [Read more...]
The Rich Man's Desperate Pleas And The Morals And Mysteries
The poor man is in bliss while the Rich Man is in agony Even in hell hasn't repented – come and serve me…..not in a good place! Selfishness of the rich man persists – make poor man his servant or his messenger and only for his brothers…what of the rest of mankind? Do we only pray for our families? Heaven and hell are absolute and nothing can go between – In heaven people know God's perfect presence, in hell they don't. In heaven people know joy and no pain, in hell they know pain and no … [Read more...]
The Great Reversal – Rich Man Beware!
We must understand that God will not be mocked. He wants us to care for the needy, understanding the grace we have received should make us gracious to others. These study notes continue the background to my recent sermon. The video is now available: By Adrian Warnock23 August 2009download video or download audioJesus says that since we have Freely received, we should freely give (Matthew 10:8) John Piper: "The more sacrificially generous you are on earth, the greater will be your enjoyment of … [Read more...]
What Was The Rich Man's Sin?
I am continuing to share my own study notes that helped me to prepare for my sermon on the Rich Man and Lazarus. We move today to ask what it was that the rich man did wrong. Jesus' teaching, and much of the NT is so pro-poor and anti-rich we have to ask ourselves the question, was the problem just that he was rich? Which are we? Important question as the truth is we are unbelievably rich in world terms. We all like to think of ourselves as spiritually rich but physically poor, maybe the o … [Read more...]

Graham Daniels On The Parable of the Banquet Luke 14
A few things happened before we get to our passage. First Jesus heals someone with dropsy on the Sabbath, no less. Later, someone speaks to Jesus, and he just blanked him. Jesus sees to the heart. The message is that you accept a general invitation but when the specific invite comes you treat it with contempt.The master sends out for the poor, blind and lame. He is angry. They had said yes, but it was all a lie. Get out to the people who wouldn't normally be invited. Make them come in. They are s … [Read more...]
Don Carson on the Parable of the Good Samaritan.
Don began by explaining the importance of considering context of bible verses by using the phrase "there is no God." Which of course is not an advocacy of atheism when seen with the preceding phrase "The fool says in his heart"The Good Samaritan is not merely saying that we should be kind to neighbours. We need to consider this in its immediate context and in its broader context. The teacher is trying to test Jesus and asks Jesus what he need to do to inherit. Yet an inheritance is a gift. The q … [Read more...]
Richard Cunningham on The Parable of the Sower – Luke 7
God's word and Men and women's hearts were made for each other.Sowing Jesus knew how to sway a crowd. The seed falls on different kinds of soil. In a sense this is the most unsurprising story to a rural community. They know some seed doesn't grow. Cant have been his most electrifying story on one level. He is sifting the crowd. Jesus does this often, for example when he told the crowd to eat is flesh! Why have we come to this conference? Are you hungry for him? For his word? Or do you just want … [Read more...]

In two weeks, Michigan legislators will begin hearings on how to improve teacher evaluations in the state. They'll consider a new plan submitted recently by the Michigan Council on Educator Effectiveness. That's an independent body created by Governor Rick Snyder and the legislature two years ago after the passage of teacher tenure reform in Michigan.
A state House panel has approved a plan to tie teachers' pay to student performance.
New teachers in Michigan would be paid based primarily on student growth under a bill in Lansing.
A judge has temporarily blocked full implementation of a new law requiring Michigan public school employees to pay more for their pensions.
The return of children to classrooms on Tuesday coincided with Governor Rick Snyder approving some big changes to how teachers will save for retirement.
Majority Republicans in the Michigan Legislature agree the weight of a $45 billion pension liability for public school employees will crush the system if left untended, but they differ on how to fix it. The Senate is expected to consider a measure Wednesday that could be a compromise, pledging further action after the November election.
State figures say Michigan schools are retaining more of their veteran K-12 educators, leaving fewer job openings for newcomers.
Michigan's budget director says he doesn't want lawmakers to pass legislation next week putting new teachers into a 401(k)-style retirement plan.
New teachers in Michigan still would get hybrid pensions under changes made to a teacher benefits bill.
A state House committee goes to work this morning on a plan that would force teachers and other school employees to pay more for their retirement benefits.
Teachers turned out by the hundreds Wednesday to pack a hearing room in Lansing. They showed up to oppose a measure that would force them to pay more for their retirement health care and pension benefits.

(See EXT4 for more on Europe's debt crisis.)
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- European Central Bank President Mario Draghi softened his assessment of the risks facing the euro region's economy and refused to show his hand on how the ECB can contribute to a new rescue package for Greece.
"The economic outlook remains subject to high uncertainty and downside risks," Draghi said at a press conference in Frankfurt today. Last month, he said the outlook was subject to "substantial" downside risks. Earlier, the ECB left its benchmark interest rate at a record low of 1 percent, as predicted by 55 of 57 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Draghi's comments indicate officials may be less inclined to reduce rates further and came as Greek political leaders reached agreement on austerity measures required for a new rescue package needed to stave off default.
Agreement among Greek politicians may pave the way for a private sector deal to write off 70 percent of the value of Greek bonds held by private investors, or about 100 billion euros. Both are key steps toward avoiding default and ending the debt crisis.
Draghi declined to comment on whether the ECB will use its own Greek bond holdings in any swap to help alleviate the nation's debt burden. "I cannot say anything on how our holdings of Greek bonds will be treated," he said.
ECB Options
The ECB has canvassed options ranging from selling its Greek bonds at the discount price it paid for them to taking a loss on the Greek assets held in investment portfolios, two euro-area officials said late last week on condition of anonymity.
The euro was little changed at $1.3282 at 2:45 p.m. in Frankfurt.German bonds fell as the yield on the country's 10- year government bond rose 5 basis points to 2.036 percent.
Draghi has been instrumental in easing the debt turmoil in his first 100 days in office, offering banks unlimited three- year loans and reversing the two rate hikes implemented by his predecessor, Jean-Claude Trichet.
Economic data this year suggest the 17-nation euro region may avoid a prolonged recession. Business confidence in Germany, Europe's largest economy, rose to a five-month high in January and factory orders gained 1.7 percent in December.

In a press conference, just two days before the MLS Cup, David Beckham was addressing the media when an iPhone on the press table rang. The phone clearly belonged to a media member, as you can see the variety of devices laid out on the table to record the conversation. Beckham made a crack at the vibrating phone, asking the crowd if he should answer it. But like the good spokesperson he is, took a moment to plug his sponsor, saying, "It's not a Samsung, sorry, I can't." (more…)
Nexus 4's Glass Back, the Worst Idea Since the Last Phone With a Glass Back
The LG Nexus 4, Google's newest Nexus device, such a thing of beauty, isn't it? That brilliant 4.7″ display on the front, the Crystal Reflection pattern tucked under a piece of glass on the back, those cascading edges, and that soft touch plastic housing, all make up for one of the more interesting smartphone designs of the last couple of years. Unfortunately, for those that purchased one or plan to purchase one, you may have to cover it up with a bumper or case, as it may also be one of the most fragile smartphones ever made. (more…)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Tops iPhone in Q3 for Best Selling Smartphone in the World
According to research firm Strategy Analytics, the iPhone is no longer the best selling smartphone in the world. During Q3 of this year, the Samsung Galaxy S3 topped the iPhone 4S to take the crown. Having sold 18 million units in Q3, the Galaxy S3 held a 10.7% share of the entire smartphone market, while the iPhone 4S held 9.7%, moving 16.2 million units.
Now, keep in mind that the iPhone 5 didn't have the entire quarter to tally numbers, so Q4 could be drastically different. Still, this is a pretty big feat for Samsung, since Apple has owned this title for years. There truly are only two major players in the smartphone industry these days.

LG Nexus Takes on the iPhone 5 in Latest Picture Leak
The LG Nexus went from being the best kept secret in tech to being the worst in a matter of days. At one point a few weeks ago, this phone was nothing more than a rumor that most sites were afraid to touch. Today, it has been leaked in more photoshoots than I can even keep track of. Take last night's appearance for example, a comparison photo shoot with the new iPhone 5 in as clear a set of pictures as you will find anywhere. You don't see photos this clean unless you have the phone in hand, something the Onliner has had the honor of. (more…)
"When Do You Think We'll be Able to do That Thing?" Asks iSheep in Latest Samsung Spots
Oh Samsung, such a clever bunch. After releasing a full 90 second spot that pokes fun at Apple fans waiting in line for the iPhone 5, they return today with two shorter spots. They cover topics from the longer commercial, only this time they take some extra jabs, like by having a mom confirm with her Galaxy S3 owning son that "this is the line for apps" as if that's all the iPhone is good for.
Another girl watches NFC sharing in action and then wonders when iPhone owners wil be "able to do that thing?" Not for a while I'm afraid, dear iPhone owners. Maybe next year. (more…)
Report: Half of Verizon's Phone Activations are Android, Feature Phones Crushing Windows Phone and Blackberry
A recent survey conducted by CIRP, asked consumers who activated smartphones from June through August which type of phone they used and from what carrier. The operating system breakdown looked something like this: 48% Android, 28% iPhone, 17% feature phone, 4% Blackberry, and 1% Windows Phone. The shocking number there is that of feature phones, which is more than triple Windows Phone and Blackberry share combined. Yikes. I'm actually hoping that Windows Phone starts to catch on, as the operating system is a joy to use. It's also good for competitive and driving innovation. (more…)

There, a day lasted about twenty hours. An hour lasted 100 minutes, a minute 50 seconds each. On the Citadel, a day was about 16 percent longer than a day on Earth.Since his arrival to this universe, Eric applied for identification at C-Sec. During that time, he filled out the paperwork, making sure he got all the details down. After doing that, he volunteered at the hospital and lived at of the many hostels on the Citadel. As he got used to his new life, Eric's search for finding a way back home had been futile; nothing had come to fruition. Except for that article he'd read about a scientist's theory that this universe collided with another in the distant past. His theory had some merit, but his data analysis wasn't thorough enough to prove it. Even with element zero, nobody could confirm the existence of the multiverse. And since

Once thought to be a Verizon exclusive, the blue HTC one is starting to spread its wings. A new Sprint roadmap has leaked, listing the rumored blue smartphone. If you want your phone to match your blue jeans, you might want to circle September 10th in your calendar.
Verizon's version was previously rumored to be released on August 29th, but we doubt that will be the case anymore. Let's wait and see if September 10 will be our date.
We will definitely stay tuned for more rumors and information. We will let you know if you hear anything! I am actually pretty excited for this phone and might buy it on Verizon. Are any of you signing up as well?

Also, just to let you know, the ribbon is actually not vintage. They are designed on vintage textiles, which allows for the pristine condition for the ribbon and larger quantities that can be ordered.
Best Christine,
The Gifted Putterer

Carolina Panthers free safety Mike Mitchell and wide receiver Ted Ginn the teams top priorities among their own free agents are expected to hit the open market Tuesday when the free agency signing period begins.
Mitchell and Ginn signed one-year deals with the Panthers last offseason and played big roles in the 12-win season that produced the Panthers first playoff appearance in five years.
Both players are looking to cash in on their success from 2013, but the Panthers salary cap situation could hinder their ability to re-sign them to long-term deals.
After defensive end Greg Hardy signed a $13.1 million franchise tender this week, the Panthers are about $7 million below the $133 million cap. Teams have to be below the cap when the league year begins at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Mitchell, 26, was a backup in Oakland who flourished as a starter with the Panthers. He brought a physical presence to the back end of the leagues second-ranked defense, and his four interceptions tied middle linebacker Luke Kuechly for the team lead.
Mitchell is expected to draw interest from several teams during the leagues three-day negotiating window, which began at noon Saturday. The Falcons, who reportedly plan to release safety Thomas DeCoud, could be among the suitors for Mitchell.
The Panthers have a fall-back option on their roster in safety Charles Godfrey, who missed most of last season after rupturing his Achilles in Week 2. Godfrey was thought to be a potential salary cap casualty, but the Panthers could try to restructure his deal if it looks like they cant re-sign Mitchell.
Ginn, 28, had a career resurgence last season after a couple of forgettable years in San Francisco. Ginn, Miamis first-round pick in 2007, posted career highs with five touchdown catches and a 15.4 yards-per-catch average as Cam Newtons favorite deep target.
Ginn also gave the Panthers a big-play threat in their return game, which is among the reasons the Panthers view him as a priority.
The Panthers have 18 remaining free agents, several of whom they would like to bring back on a short, team-friendly deals. That list includes starting cornerback Captain Munnerlyn, No. 2 tight end Ben Hartsock and backup quarterback Derek Anderson.
Munnerlyn, who returned to the Panthers on a one-year deal last season, told the Observer last month he thought he had one of his best years in 2013 and thought it was shocking the team had not contacted him about an extension.
Four of the Panthers top defensive backs from last season eligible for free agency: Mitchell, Munnerlyn, cornerback Drayton Florence and strong safety Quintin Mikell.
Florence and Mikell are both 33 and are not considered priorities for the Panthers.

T.R. Knight Returning to Stage in "Parade"by Steve Marsi at . Comments
T.R. Knight has booked his first role since negotiating an early release from ABC's Grey's Anatomy. He will star in a Los Angeles theater production of the musical Parade.
The show opens October 4 at the Mark Taper Forum in L.A.
Parade, penned by Alfred Uhry, is a true story of Leo Frank, an Atlanta pencil-factory manager who was convicted of raping and killing a 13-year-old female employee in 1913.
When doubt was cast on his guilt, Frank's death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Soon after, he was kidnapped from prison and lynched by a group of citizens.
We'll sure miss T.R. Knight and all he brought to Grey's Anatomy.
In his first role after exiting the Grey's Anatomy cast following five great seasons, T.R. Knight will star as Frank, while Lara Pulver (Robin Hood) will play his wife, Lucille.
"I am very fortunate to return to the theater playing Leo Frank in this incredible, acclaimed production of Parade," Knight said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
"After a five-year break, it feels great to be on stage again."
T.R. Knight's previous plank work includes Broadway's Tartuffe.

I'm so happy for him. That's a great role, and he totally deserves it. I just hope he does some TV too. I live in Australia, so I won't be able to see him if he just does theater. I'm happy he's happy though. He's such a sweet human being. I'm glad he is getting a chance to show his extraordinary talent. I'm missing George already though.

Any thoughts or comments on a steel DeSalvo MTB frame built with "Columbus Life"?
Looking for input on overall frame quality and ride experience:
How are the welds, are they clean and strong?
Is the tubing capped off? (sealed)
How does the "Columbus Life" tubing feel. Does it have personality... that great steel feel?
How's the "Columbus Life" hold up over the long haul?
Any know issues with fork crowns hitting the down tube? (Specifically the White Brothers 650b Magic 100mm fork)
How's the experience working with Mike on the frame build? Will he patiently work with you to get the perfect frame geo spec'd for the style of riding you do and your body's geometry needs?
How's the paint finish, is it clean and durable?
Finally what the overall experience of riding a DeSalvo frame? Are you diggin it and is it everything you'd hoped it be?
DeSalvo on a short list of frame builders I'm considering for a 650b frame I'd like to get built up. I really don't know much about his work other than what I've read in some threads. But everything I've read has been real positive, however not specific enough and that's the reason for all the questions above.
Thanks for any input you can offer up,

Mexican Post near the Parkway is closed
Landlord had filed a judgment. In other news, South Street West has lost its cupcake shop.
Mexican Post near the Parkway is closed
The Mexican Post location just off the Parkway at 1601 Cherry St. - which seemed to do bang-up business at least at its outdoor patio - closed Wednesday after 6½ years.
The company isn't talking about the reasons. Other locations, including a stand at the Comcast Center and the restaurant in Old City, are still open.
Municipal Court records recount that the landlord filed a judgment last spring seeking $135,000 in rent. The judgment was put on hold during appeal in July.
Speaking of landlord-tenant disputes, court records show a tussle between the operators of Philly Cupcake and its landlord at 1944 South St. (aka 20th and South Streets).
That fight - which included an allegation that nearly $24,000 in rent was owed and a counterclaim that the landlord's contractors had botched needed repairs, delaying the shop's opening - ended in a settlement Oct. 25, according to court records.
The upshot: Philly Cupcake closed the shop after nine months and regrouped at its 1132 Chestnut St. location. As noted by the NakedPhilly blog, signs on the now-empty South Street store indicate forthcoming Philly Cupcake locations at Temple University and the University of Pennsylvania.

Holy free app! Robin could be an Android packin' driver's best friend
proactively report on traffic, navigation and speed traps. Robin will even learn the user's preferences in jokes and news as this functionality is added. Just keep in mind that this is not Siri or even S Voice for that matter. In fact, don't even try to ask Robin to do some of the things that Siri does. For example, we asked Robin to set an alarm and received a response that it was "pissed" that we asked because it is not yet programmed for such a task.
If Magnifis can work out all of the bugs, and keeps Robin's eye on the road, this could be a nice little gem of an app. On the other hand, if the developer gets caught up in trying to copy Siri, it could end up misunderstood and lost in a sea of Siri copycats. As it is, many reviews at the Google Play Store are negative as users try to compare Robin to Siri. For now, that is a battle that Robin is not going to win.
source: GooglePlayStore via Phandroid
Press Release
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) June 16, 2012
Robin is designed with drivers in mind, aiming to provide them with relevant information, guidance and content via a natural voice / gesture interface. In the car, this interface becomes key, enabling a completely eyes-free interaction: voice in, voice out. Importantly, Robin's powerful dialogue engine allows a natural and smooth conversation flow, always keeping track of the implied context. Starting a dialogue is as easy as "waving hello" in front of the phone's screen, so one never has to look away from the road.
At the moment, Robin is available in beta across the US, offering features such as local search (including Yelp reviews), navigation, real-time traffic and parking information, gas prices, weather and more. And for those getting bored behind the wheel, Robin can narrate personal Twitter news (with more content reportedly coming soon) and even tell jokes.
According to Magnifis, the company behind Robin, these are just the first steps. Drawing inspiration from the famous KITT of the "Knight Rider" fame, Robin is poised to emerge as a very personal kind of assistant that becomes increasingly helpful as she gets to know her "master" better. For instance, Robin will be able to proactively alert drivers about traffic or speed cameras, based on her knowledge of one's schedule and driving patterns. And the two-way communication will make it easy for the drivers to share information, e.g., about traffic (Waze style). She will also serve as "personalized radio", narrating relevant news aggregated from a variety of sources and even learn the individual's taste in jokes.
"Today, people still think of a car assistant primarily in terms of navigation," says Magnifis co-founder/CEO Ilya Eckstein. "But in fact, we don't use navigation much, as most of the time we know our way around. What we really need in the car is someone to watch out for us as we go and be there when we need... well, just about anything. That, and being able to remain fully connected and empowered behind the wheel. To not miss out on a single important bit of life, even when you are not staring at the screen. And that is exactly what Robin is meant to help us with."
About Magnifis
Based in Palo Alto, Calif., Magnifis is a leading innovator in speech interfaces, machine learning and location-based services. The company is using proprietary multi-language understanding technology - already powering a major service in Israel - and is backed by private investors.

The fact that reviewers are comparing Robin to Siri is bad news for Robin. The developer has basically not been able to position Robin where it wants. The epitaph for Robin will be about how it couldn't be a better Siri for Android.
4. SlimSoulja86 (Posts: 642; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Why do we always have to compare everything to Siri, and call them Siri copies, while these sorts of things hav b there for like, EVER?
It's not like Siri was the first VA. Let's all get a grip and life while we are at it. Siri is not the first VA, so let's stop comparing all Virtual Assistants to Siri, or call every VA a copy of Siri. Yes Siri is currently d best in its ranking but not the first.

It's hopeless man. Once Apple gets its dirty claws upon a product\service, and then markets it as its own - everyone suddenly start believing that they invented it in the first place..
11. networkdood (Posts: 6326; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
the funny thing is that not as many apple iphone/ipad users use Siri as much as Apple would like to see, thus the update in iOS6. Honestly, if you have to update Siri so that it can tell you the score of a game, then something is not right with the program. It should be written to respond to nearly any command, ask for more input from the user, and once anaylsis has been completed, it should be able to actually talk to the user.

Good idea.

Apple gets ripped pretty regularly on its shortcomings or copy cat apps.
Apple has Siri, Android doesn't have an equivalent. Perhaps Robin will fill the void, perhaps it won't.
Apple upped the ante on this front. Will the Android community respond?
10. networkdood (Posts: 6326; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
lol, it was apple who had to respond - Android has no need to respond to an inferior product - run along now, kid...mommy is calling.
15. LionStone (Posts: 468; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
It IS hilarious...when apple 'just' finally catches up with Voice Actions, and now with with Maps and Navigation...funny.
17. paulyyd (Posts: 327; Member since: 08 Jan 2011)
@networkdood someones mad
19. GP007 (Posts: 2; Member since: 20 May 2012)
Not a fan or user of Apple.
Regardless, your response is not really any different than that of an Apple fanboy who sensed some slight.
Where is Androids version of Siri?
21. Mitchel (Posts: 228; Member since: 25 May 2012)

When i just read the title,
I thought Robin was used for compiling Drivers for Android.
