[Ziya Oz]

...if Xerox has its way, that will not be true much longer. This week the

plain color speech into fluent computerese. Type the command, ³Make the sun
a brighter yellow,² and the printer will read, ³Go with color CIELAB[88, -3,
64].²

What other natural language UIs can you think of for long-standing, thorny
user interaction problems?
