Will speak recognition advance to a point that it can replace the keyboard?

Why are some songs hits, while others are not?

One fine Vietnam day some 40+ years ago a young soldier came into our aid station complaining of a sore throat. He told us he'd always heard that placing a strip of bacon on the throat helps. Our doctor disagreed, but was somewhat amused by the idea.

Is it a fourth or fifth gen iPod touch? If the latter then there currently is no way to jailbreak it. For a fourth gen iPod touch running iOS 6 there is a tethered jailbreak from RedsnOw. "Tethered" means that you will need to connect your iPod to your computer every time you reboot. Anyway, just google "iPod touch fourth generation iOS 6 jailbreak" and you will find tons of details on how to apply the jailbreak.

One thing I had trouble with at first is closing down applications. Rather than clicking on an "X" in the corner, I found out (via reading) that you have to pull the top of the application down to close it. Overall, I've found that Windows 8 has been a good upgrade from Windows XP but it will take some time to get used to it. |

Google images is cool, but they do slap some bizarre results on you sometimes. Here are some of the hits I got when I searched this recent picture of myself:
Spoiler:
The search also produced several images of a rather phallic nature, leading me to wonder if my critics might be on to something. |

And if you want to know what my wife looks like; here's one of the "Visually similar images" that popped up when I inserted her picture into the search engine:

Okay, I quit. I think one day Google's Image Search will be a very valuable tool, but for the moment it's not quite ready for prime time. This picture of Teenage Tommy:
