Did This Woman Just Steal From Me?



Ms. Dewey appears to be an interactive search assistant who audibly comments on searched keywords. Definatly not a better webpage than google, but a fun try, so i had a go. Immediatly this bitch takes out her pad and starts making the "i know why your searching for this" look and writing shit down in it. so i decided to take her for a trip through my head, not looking at the pages i searched, but only paying attention to the responses she gave; of course there are easter egg responses to the most obvious searches, like "boobs" but lets be honest boobs wasnt the worst thing i searched for; but i swear it felt like she was looking through my mac pro cam and data mining me for smart business and governmental intelligence...i did some further investigating and found Microsoft started Ms. Dewey, i hate you Ms. Dewey. actually im down it just feels wierd when they try to make that act of "the user in his underwear on the couch surfing the web" a personal human experiance, ill stick with google and its classic bar for now. Ms Dewey is def worth a go however

i just searched for the title of a soft core movie that the woman who plays ms dewey,Janina Gavankar, is in. Ms dewey had a crazy witty response and said a poem and that she felt naked. i think ms dewey is on to me, and is giving misleading responses to me now to throw me off her trail, but i got her, unless that HAL of a bitch, reads this and measures her responses to you guys because of our affiliation, i doubt she would be so cunning. im serious, everyone is doing this, google yahoo ask, ms dewey at least gives us the confort of a human personality as they, box us up and upload humanity onto the internet, how easy will it be for microsoft and the usg to shape us then?
