I can't seem to find much info on voice recognition, and the Macbook Air's help files only give a very brief description.

I can see all the various commands I can perform, but I'd like to modify/add some commands.

For example:
- "Minimize this window" is a command, but "Maximize this window" is not... I'd like to have the ability to maximize using my voice
- "Open Safari" is not an option, but "Open my browser" is... I'd like to say "Open Safari" or "Open Internet"

There's a few other things, but that's the gist of it.

Overall: Lion rocks! I'm enjoying it a ton so far. Although I never tried OS X Snow Leopard, or anything before that... so I really don't know what I skipped over anyways... but! but I am enjoying this :D

That all said, I have encountered one bug (is it a bug? I don't know): I visited Apple's website and it had this little blurb about "Macbook Air: bla bla bla". It was in a little rectangular box. Well, I switched to my desktop, and this box stayed on my screen in the same position. I closed safari and this box stayed still. I tried closing everything and the box was still sitting in the same position no matter what I did. It just read a few words in a small rectangular box. I had to restart to get rid of it. Not sure if that's just a tiny bug where something stuck... or whether it's some sort of thing that I don't know how to close.
