Do a Barrel Roll

If you don’t remember what happened, go to Google and type in Do a barrel roll. Clever, right? From the Star Fox game, it is like saying, ‘Glad Amazon ain’t fox fur.’ Still, due to Google Now, Android users can make a {barrel roll} just by speaking to their devices. Try getting Siri to do that.

Google Now is as much a competitor to Apple’s Siri as it is an automatic assistant. Google posted the Jelly Bean interest last week at I/O. Barrel roll trick takes advantage of a voice prompt to launch the feature, although Google Now is primarily more focused on entirely unexpected random info. Google Now gets weather in the morning, traffic conditions once one is on the move, and scores for favorite teams. That said, it has a voice input mode almost identical to Siri to help pull the info — and, of course, the obligatory barrel rolls.
