    Between Siri and Samsung voice, I hate both and find them utterly unusable.

    Haha Cortana? Is this the Cortana from Halo? It was a Microsoft X-Box exclusive title after all....

    I saw no mention in that article of it, but otherwise it is an interesting choice for a name, not that I'm interested in buying any Windows phones.

    Well the article doesn't specify anything about Halo though, did Microsoft buy the rights to use Cortana from the developers of Halo? Or did they just rip off the name to get attention?

    Microsoft has owned Halo for awhile now, and Microsoft was the ones who made the Xbox.

    Bungie sold the rights to Halo to Microsoft that's why a different company name appeared on Halo 4 instead of Bungie.

    Also yes, that Cortana ^.^

    I've been waiting for the build conference to see what the new Windows phones will be. I'll likely be picking up a Nokia Lumia 930 this summer.
