I never got past the warning that everything typed on the keyboard would be sent to MS. Uninstalled immediately. Too bad too. I really liked the premise of the angled keyboard for one-handed typing and wanted to give it a try. Oh well.

So nothing you ever say to Siri ever gets sent to Apple?

There is a big difference between the stuff I ask Siri (e.g. "What's the weather?" "What's playing at the movies?") and stuff I type on a keyboard (e.g. passwords, personal information, legally protected trade secrets, etc...)

So niche products don't work? Disney's $1.3B niche movie "Frozen" suggests otherwise. And NEVER forget Jar Jar Binks...

I'm not sure I understand your point. How is 'Frozen' a niche movie? It was massively advertised, had a huge budget, big stars, and cross-promoted in television shows, songs, and books.

And I don't understand the reference to Jar Jar. While Star Wars episode I didn't fare well with critics, it made over a billion dollars in ticket sales. If anything, Jar Jar seems to support Elberse's theory – with a giant blockbuster franchise (like Star Wars) even occasional missteps don't blunt its economic potential.
