Google Now is a lot like Apple's Siri, but much better. It's the way I always imagined search should be on a mobile device. With Google Now, you ask a question and you get the one answer you're looking for. The right answer. Almost every time. And even if you happen to stump Google Now, your query will still return the same excellent list of Google search results you're used to.

On the other hand, Siri has trouble with basic searches. That's because it relies on Wolfram Alpha and a few other third-party services to get information.

the name "Google Now" makes me think of one character from a particular ambitious film by the Donnie Darko guy...
