Why are there no talking computers?

A true "talking computer" would require two things: a speech synthesizer to create the voice, and an Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide the lines. We still haven't managed to create a true AI, but speech synthesizers are included in most PCs nowadays. There's one in Windows called Microsoft Sam. He'll read out a sentence typed into the Voice section in Control Panel for you. However, he highlights the problem with speech synthesis: it lacks inflection and doesn't sound very human. To add the inflection, we'd need that aforementioned artificial intelligence. Or, at least, a modification for the existing text-to-speech software allowing for inflection designation tags. Anyway, that's why we have no talking computers: lack of sufficiently human speech.
