It should be possible to find a voice artist for hire that sounds like Scarlett Johansson in "Her" when you can fingerprint voices, model them, and quantify the differences.
I'm an iPhone user myself. A friend of mine is having this experience. Apparently it's some sort of teaser for the voice dialling feature when you're about to make a call.
I use Safari instead of Chrome when I want twice the autonomy, and it's really strict to websites trying to play media without interaction. It doesn't even start loading YouTube videos until I click the giant play button. You never even see that button in Chrome, and I can't believe how much I now miss that basic sanity check. Chrome will even start playing dozens of tabs simultaneously if I open a collection of tabs from Bookmarks. Really think there should be a setting that enforces the requirement of initial interaction before playback on every site in all browsers.
Note that everyone had access to the Inbox API at the time. We made an art project highlighting the invasiveness of such broad access:
"E-dentity is a project that asks a participant to login to its Facebook account, then takes his/ her private data from their profile and automatically prints them in an understandable booklet that is handed to the user. This booklet seeks to raise awareness of the hidden data we are sharing which we are often not aware of."
Maybe spend a couple bucks on bringing closed captions to video AMAs. I clicked the link to the embed featured in the article, and it's 20 min of unsubtitled speech.
