Strangely, I read through all of the update announcements for my iPhone Apps. And I enjoy it.

Sometimes you learn about bugs – either common (slowness, crashing) or unique to that app.
Sometimes you wonder who wrote the marketing blurbs (for instance, ‘this version now comes with ads! Yes: ads!’)

And then there is Google, who released version 0.3.1448 of the Google Mobile App yesterday. Included in their enhancements:
- Speed improvements for voice search (thank you!)
- British and Australian accents (great?)
- Various bug fixes (very descriptive)
- Longer version number (akin to still being in “beta”)
- Ninja (really?)

  • Maybe "Ninja" is the new programmer who made this update but then again I don't know lol.
  • WTF is a British accent? AFAIK, there are hundreds of distinct accents within the UK. I assume they mean the prototypical Southern England accent and possibly received pronunciation.
  • Android User
    What's "Ninja"? I'd explain it to you . . . but then I'd have to kill you.

    Feh. Needs more Pirate.
  • WTF is Ninja?
  • Exactly - only Google would do that. Not sure which is weirder:
