"HAL, open iTunes, please." "I'm sorry, Richard, I'm afraid I can't do that. If you play Pink Floyd once more, I am going to have to reformat my hard drive." Stanley Kubrick's vision of a psychotic computer is (thankfully) a bit behind schedule, but it's easy to control your computer by voice. Realize Voice is a $99 program that lets you control the PC by speaking commands, such as "Open the Start menu" or "Switch to Firefox." While the program works with any PC headset, it couldn't control some of my apps, particularly ones like Winamp that open several windows at once. The dictation mode transforms your words into text.

The program's macros are great fun: Now when I say "Dark Side of the Moon," Windows Media Player starts, the Pink Floyd album plays, and the visualization goes psychedelic. My computer hasn't tried to kill me yet, no matter how many times I play it....
