Google Releases Chrome 25 With Voice Recognition Support 93
An anonymous reader writes "Google on Thursday released Chrome version 25 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. While Chrome 24 was largely a stability release, Chrome 25 is all about features, including voice recognition support via the newly added Web Speech API and the blocking of silent extension installation. You can update to the latest release now using the browser's built-in silent updater, or download it directly from google.com/chrome." But if you're more interested in the growing raft of Google-branded hardware than running Google OSes, some good news (via Liliputing) about the newly released Pixel: Bill Richardson of Google posted on Thursday that the Pixel can boot Linux Mint, and explained how users can follow his example, by taking advantage of new support for a user-provided bootloader.

I see what you did there, this is social engineering. Who is going to shout at their monitor "Natalie Portman grits petrified porn"?
Fappist: "Natalie Portman grits petrified porn"
Chrome: "Madly norman sits petrified corn"
Fappist: "NATALIE PORTMAN GRITS PETRIFIED PORN"
Chrome: "Actually foreman knits electrified morn"
FAPPIST: "GRRRRR! NATALIE PORTMAN GRITS PETRIFIED PORN!!!!"

I'm not sure I understand. Are you talking about the Old World? I think Google has better things to do than get speech recognition working for fictional places and people.
