Saw a couple Siri commercials.

Seriously, that was pretty neat.

The voice was kinda lacking, stiff, artificial, reminiscent of my biggest complaint about Google Navigation. Can we please get a decent voice for it? Find a voice actress. Find a singer. Call a freaking 1-900 number. Anything!

The first few clips it looks like basically a Google search and pick the best answer... then it gets more complex. And I have a vague idea of just how much of a nightmare it must be to have it be able to deal with accents, dialects, word choice, phrasing, et cetera.

But seriously, for the love of god, get a good fucking voice. Find a woman working for the company who could do good phone sex, and use her as a template. Everyone will like it. Except for a few die-hard feminists, and who gives a shit what they think?

I mean... I'm sure Iris will be finished in, oh, a couple week, so I can at least run it on my phone. But I don't expect a better voice, because generally, a good voice is worth money, and that adds another layer of complexity to mimic it well.

Yeah, it is an older cooler but was near the top in its day (2008). I've read that other i7s were getting into the lower 80s with that test so it probably isn't too out of line given the HSF and I just saw that the cooler fan was only doing 1200 RPM. I can increase that and I also need to put a fan on the back of the case -- I removed it during my brief flirtation with the H60 and forgot to put it back on.



Yeah, that's what I am thinking -- it should peak at maybe 80 C.



I thought the 2600K throttled at 90?



True, but I am really not looking to spend more money on cooling at this point. I do need to add an additional fan to the case and could consider a push/pull on the heatsink, but that's about all I'm willing to do. The SA and DH-14 are better but they are just way too big and again, there's that cost thing.

Download Real Temp 3.60 and try running that to see if you're reaching throttle temps.

The only way to beat SA is with (real) water IME.
Megahalems/VX should be nearly as good on Sandy since thermal limits (of the heatsink) are way above that CPU TDP.

I wonder what those horizontal distortion waves are caused by on my car windows. It's only on the side windows, I can't see it on the rear glass (it might be there), and it's not on the front.

Sounds like the effects of birefringence to me. ;)
