What makes one better or worse?

I'm always a bit embarrassed when I'm in public and a buddy calls me over to look at something on a MacBook. Like - "No it wasn't me who fell for Apple marketing."

Well, at least Apple's assistant has a name. "OK Google" is just directly praying to the overlord :D

Can't you squeeze the sides or something? I don't use voice search much because I prefer accuracy. But when I do, I don't use "ok Google"
