Carrie was on the road driving down the highway when leaving this message, and for as much background noise as there is, I’m pretty impressed with the transcription. You have to think it’s not that good, but this is just the beginning. Google is at it’s infancy in this technology, and it’s already this good. Choosing your number is pretty cool.

We Are All SO Rich. Don’t Believe Me?
Maybe it’s been prompted by the news I’ve heard lately that we’re in some sort of global economic crisis, but I’ve been thinking a lot about how much wealth the average person has. And not just in America or in…
