   Yesterday, using my Galaxy 5 I pushed the home button   
   a little too long and Ms. Google spoke up asking what   
   she could help me with. I mumbled under my breath,   
   "Goddammit!" and Ms. Google replied, "Did I do something   
   wrong?"   
      
   All I wanted to do is view the home screen so I could   
   select the wi-fi hotspot. I guess Google wanted me to   
   tell Ms. Google to open the Hotspot. So what's easier?   
   Touching the hotspot icon or long touching the home   
   button and asking Ms. Google to open the hotspot.   
      
   OMG! I'm going insane.
