I'm excited to see a working speech interface. I use the one on my phone quite a bit to send quick messages to my wife while I'm driving. The shortest command so far is [press siri button on dashboard] + "tell my wife to come down in 2 minutes". I wish I could tell Siri I trust it and not to confirm the message. [Are you ready to send this message?] "Yes" [Ok, I'll send it]. Every. time.

On the flip side, we're past the line of scrimmage where I like my OS knowing about my files and talking to a mothership about them. I know it was probably three operating systems ago that my checksums started leaking to interested parties, "hey he has a copy of Frozen, did you know that?"

In about 4 months I'll give it a try. I want to hear how the hardware reacts. I installed 10.10 the day it came out, and got bit by that flakey wifi bug for what was it, nine months before Apple fixed it? I automatically bluetooth paired with the phone when the wifi froze, did about 19 gig over LTE (which kept up!) A beautiful failure scenario.

I think I might not value my privacy enough, is my lingering thought, in reflection of this being available.

How about "Ask my wife to come down in 2 minutes"? :-)
