Android’s Robin Gives Apple’s Siri Some Stiff Competition
| June 26, 2012
Apple’s Siri is cool when trying to impress friends or when you need to quickly find out the weather but let’s be honest, Siri in her current state isn’t all that useful.
Meet Robin, Siri’s newest rival, available for Android. You can ask Robin for directions, local places, real-time parking, traffic info, gas prices, weather, your Twitter news and much more.
Robin was built with drivers in mind, she is most useful when behind the wheel because she helps you to keep your eyes on the road and off of your device.
Robin even supports gestures. You can wave your hand twice in front and above the screen or brush the top brim of your phone, speak, and Robin will respond.

The person recording the video then approaches the “Woman in Red Armchair” painting where he is confronted by a security guard who sternly warns him photography is not allowed inside the museum.

Now this may seem freakishly fast. But the good news for anyone attempting to memorize a deck of cards is that the first time he tried—just a year before—it took him over 6 minutes! He was not born with a natural ability; instead, he perfected a system that anyone can learn to memorize a deck of cards with seemingly superhuman speed.
The system consists of two main ingredients:
