LOL I used to, lived in the South End from 98-01, then back to NYC, then was just back last Fall to March. I'm an American raised in London from NYC and upstate NY. It makes for interesting dialects
.PS Matt Damon is shorter than I thought, but a great guy! A friend on SWAT for BPD looked EXACTLY like him when he was ~19 (now 43). He had to shave his head cause he got so much crap for it, then Damon shaved his head, and he couldn't win.
My friends and I got a kick out of this a few years ago:

What's wrong with that? Bing offers Bing's own results as well as google's results <smirk>

Please, Boston team, do not give her a Boston accent!
Please, Boston Team, teach Siri to speak REAL english (not that dialect U.S. americans call english).
BTW, rephrase that slogan: Designed by Apple in California and Massachusetts

There's a reason people just Google and not Bing.
Do people even know what Bing is?
This is where the consumers lose.
Clearly google now is the far superior product.
Yet apple won't implement it into their products.
I wish we could of worked this out
As someone who has an N7, HTC One X, iPhone 5, iPad 3 and MacBook Pro, I wholeheartedly disagree. I find Siri to be more useful whereas Google Now is generally faster and more reliable. In terms of usage, I use Siri all the time, but rarely use Google Now.
I find I use Siri and Google Now for different purposes. Siri for native app stuff...alarms, timers, texts, emails and the like. For "information" questions, right now I find Google Now is faster and more accurate than Siri.
Actually, there is no single Boston accent. The accent in Brighton is different from the Dorchester accent, which is different from the Southie accent...if one can hear the differences.
And the Brahmins have an accent all their own.
Watch what you wish for....they could go totally postal and just out of spite give it a Bronx accent!
PLEASE no New York accent!!!!
Wat?
