You wouldn't believe how many phone calls we get at work from people who have accidently enabled voice recognition on their laptops and think that they've been infected by some virus "as it keeps on putting crap into my document."
Voice recognition is a nice concept but seems destined to failure:1) They can't understand out of the normal accents and I'm not unglottising my t's or putting back my h's for no damn computer. 2) The old concept of culture jamming. Walk through an office shouting "Exit, exit, exit"
davePS I agree, death to caps lock, scroll lock and force the num lock key to always be on (does anybody ever use the number pad as cursors anymore)?
