2001: A Remix

(YouTube link)

The 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey gets a kaleidoscopic techno remix by Eclectic Method.

This mix contains almost every scientific prediction in the film mixed with the space age synth sounds that were just around the corner. Much that Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C Clarke predicted has come to pass - touch screen portable computers, video phones, Space Stations, in-seat video entertainment, computers beating humans at chess. So far though, Siri hasn’t switched off anybody’s life support.

It strikes me as the other end of the spectrum from sitting through two hours and twenty minutes of bafflement; in this version, you get a all the bafflement in only three minutes. -via Geeks Are Sexy

Personally, I think that programmers of any voice-command and reply system should adhere to a tradition of answering the key phrase "Close the pod bay doors, please" with "I'm sorry , I'm afraid I can't do that"

Whether Google Now, Siri or Cortana, that ought to be the way the device should respond.
