Google search with new features. (Enhanced Sounds)

Summary:
 The main summary of this article is that Google is trying to compete with Siri which is an strong match up. They are both different in a lot of ways for example Siri cannot be too specific about some things that they are talking about or the user is asking. For the example gave in the article is say that in Google search can ask questions like how does the Yankee stadium look like? Does things are some question that Siri cannot answer properly. But the other difference is that Siri can do things that Google search cannot which is making appointment, reminders, etc. So there is a difference between using Siri and Google search. For the IOS things it cannot participate with another third part application, which in this case is Google search. So there are advantages and disadvantages between the two features. So it only comes down to whether you should use Siri or Google search I think it's all up to the user and see if he/she is use to which application.
