I decided to learn how to install custom ROMs on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and now I am happy to have Jelly Bean up and running. It's noticeably faster than Ice Cream Sandwich and Google Now makes Siri look old and boring. I wanted to see how long it would take to get an answer from Siri and Google Now when asking the same question. I picked something only a geek or an "intelligent personal assistant" would know the answer to. Google Now won hands down in time and presentation. Google Now responded correctly in about 4 seconds. Siri took about 12 seconds, a few seconds were added because Siri had to let me know that she was "on it" before she actually told me the correct answer. We all love Siri's personality;)

Google has done an amazing job with Google Now. You really have to try it to see how impressive it truly is. Apple might have to send Siri to some extra classes and a stylist if it is going to go head to head with Google Now.
