Is Google offering free 411 to collect samples of your voice? (firstround.com)

Of course Google is recording voice samples, that way they can recognize them better... this is hardly surprising.

And what's with all of the "google is evil" metaphor? They aren't stealing my voice in any sense of the world, they are taking a sample of it, to practice their voice recognition engine...


When you call me up to chat, it's not stealing to record our conversation and use it for whatever purpose I want... is it?
