I hate OK Google Now. It reminds me of the running gags in Airplane and Men In Black, where the inflatable autopilot would pop up at inopportune times.
The screen ordering me to “Get Google Now” also pisses me off, almost as much as the “Aw, Snap” screen when some ad doesn’t load. Makes me wish for an app that lets me smack a Google software engineer upside the head.
