An infographic from Trendblog.net, a cheat sheet for “Google Now” commands.
As a new user of Glass and Google Now on my Moto X (get one.), this new voice interface is really cool. My first issue was that saying “Okay Google Now” is awkward. I want to call it whatever I want, just like I wanted to call Siri whatever I wanted. But there was a problem with that. Instead of just keeping my lewd nickname between us, Siri changed every “From:” field to read “Bitch”. I just learned that you can say “Okay Jarvis, …” instead of “Google”. :)
