This is interesting too (maybe just for the UK?) - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16029825

I think Santa may be bringing one for the kids. I am no gamer, but if it means I don't have to post my lovefilm discs back then it works for me.

Cunning move getting all the gamers using Bing by default. Be interesing to know how many change their primary search engine as a knock-on from that.

I guess XBox has had this functionality for some time. That must be why all the gamer-types were poo-pooing Siri.

I hope this technology spreads to other devices. I'd never get to watch the TV again if I allowed a game machine in the living room. ;)
