Episode description

We talk to Robert Scoble about iOS spellcheck: is it really that bad (yes), why it's that bad (privacy?), and how this will impact Apple's competitiveness against Google and Android.

"80% said it got at least a little worse than before than two years ago"

"Swipe is a good new feature that comes with this system, but it's an immature system. It hasn't been trained very well."

"I had dinner with the guy who runs Siri at Apple. He said ... Google is beating us ... we see Google's learning at a faster rate."
