I know companies copy from one another, but thank god for Google. They are the only ones pushing things forward.
I want to get the whole "NSA/PRISM" BS dealt with first before I allow any vendor to provide such tracking-based services.

Not really, other companies are innovating in many different areas as well. Apple in particular set forth some really nice innovations in OS X Mavericks (battery and performance related improvements
give proper credit where it's due - intel
Intel wrote the App Nap feature in Mavericks?
what about the haswell retina 13"? next month? this fall? late feb'14?
i think the best part of google now is googles ability to read your email and chrome searches. Without that, it's not nearly as useful.
This is direct competition to Google Now. I like it
It is just showing what siri told you 2 years ago in text, one year before google now was a thing. Google now being a rehash of siri anyway.
Who cares? You must have a pretty boring job history if you've never worked where you were required to be fingerprinted.
You mean that it is a perfect rebrand of Google Now... right?
It seems from now onwards we don't need to guess any rumour for future updates... just list the most popular ones after each new version... and there you go, implemented in the next innovative, amazing, incredible, phenomenal, never seen before iOS
umm yeah you never have used google now.
Google now voice features are not a big part of it. Heck I personally rarely use the voice part minus saying things like "Google Navigate home" Heck I am pretty sure that is the most common exact phrase I use.
What I like about google now is it will pop up traffic and weather cards at the top. It will alert me if traffic is bad and will I am running the risk to be late for work. It figured out what time I tend to get there on its own.
Also things like tracking information for online orders are automatically put in there and I can track it from inside now. It has my next calendar appointments and so on.
THe voice parts are very little of Now services.
I found this amusing as well! My phone is telling me to go to bed!
I've tried to move this discussion here:oh please.. roll your eyes somewhere else..

So a few years ago this was a "bug" and now its a feature?
Apple issues statement on location tracking; software update on the way

Can we please put an end to this nonsense? I'm so tired of having to read through dozens of "who stole what from whom" posts. Apple innovates. Google innovates. Google Now was innovative. Today innovates on top of Now. You're not going to win this argument. Nobody is. Can we stop?
So Apple is not allowed to compete in spaces they don't invent? If that's the case Android should never have existed, Google+ rips off Facebook, Google maps rips off mapquest, Google mail rips off exchange, Google voice ripped off Skype... Etc etc. you could literally go on for days with all the products they pretty much directly rip or absorb. The innovation is taking these ideas and improving upon the experience or offering a different take, which this clearly does. To expect apple to no enter the adaptive systems space simply because Google was there first is silly.
