I can't tell to what degree Microsoft's spin on Siri is just obligatory trash talking the competition and how much is really head-up-assness. We know that owning an iPhone around Microsoft campus is a guilty pleasure a lot of Microsofties have to hide from their bosses, lest Ballmer walk over and stomp on your iPhone. And of course, Melinda Gates has to say that no members of their family can bring Apple devices into their home. But there was an interview with Bill Gates where he compliments the iPhone while dismissing the iPad. It was (to the best of my recall) something like, "[the iPad is] not like when I saw the iPhone in 2007 and thought, my god, we didn't aim high enough..." So I don't think Microsoft management has their heads totally up their asses. They just can't publicly say nice things about Apple.
Here it is )( there is the ass, now here is Microsofts head up their ass. )M(. LOL.
The Microsoft math. Gerbil mentality + billions = flawed product.
every Siri ad and article makes me that much more angry that apple killed the Siri app that i had on my iPhone 4 for more than a year before the release of the 4S. i refuse to upgrade in order to use a feature that i used to use daily. i'll wait for the iPhone 6,9 and the iPad 3.14, or whatever rumor is circulating now.
I was reading today that SIRI seems to be pro-life. Meanwhile, Google is more than happy to help people with murdering their fetuses.
Ask the Siri, the new iPhone 4 assistant, where to get an abortion, and, if you happen to be in Washington, D.C., she won?t direct you to the Planned Parenthood on 16th St, NW. Instead, she?ll suggest you pay a visit to the 1st Choice Women?s Health Center, an anti-abortion Crisis Pregnancy Center (CPC) in Landsdowne, Virginia, or Human Life Services, a CPC in York, Pennsylvania. Ask Google the same question, and you?ll get ads for no less than 7 metro-area abortion clinics, 2 CPCs and a nationwide abortion referral service.
The tablet was planned before the phone. It was the work on the tablet that led them to make the phone.
Which is why Apple's original mobile operating system was called the iPhone OS, and not iOS until it was enlarged to work on the iPad some 3 years after the iPhone's introduction.

Are you calling Steve Jobs a liar?
Because that's straight from his mouth.
"It began with the tablet. I had this idea about having a glass display, a multitouch display you could type on with your fingers. I asked our people about it. And six months later, they came back with this amazing display. And I gave it to one of our really brilliant UI guys. He got scrolling working and some other things, and I thought, 'my God, we can build a phone with this!' So we put the tablet aside, and we went to work on the iPhone."
It will be REALLY hard to match Siri's functionality. There is decades of research behind it and probably some important patents.
Not much of which was done buy Apple researchers given that Apple only bought Siri in April 2010 as a means of competing with Google's voice recognition developments.

This guy posts pics of his gadgets online with a watermark. He clearly has trust issues so he's not going to believe anything coming from a CEO, much less Jobs.

1) They spent a year and half working on Siri before the public beta, tt does a great many things the Siri app couldn't do, and it's the best in class.
2) The Siri they bought was for the conversational interface and personal context awareness, not for voice recognition. They license from Nuance Communication for that, making your claims that the Siri purchase was simply a reactionary tactic to own voice recognition patently false.
AppleInsider should include the author names in the list of articles that are displayed on the homepage. That way, we can see who wrote each article without having to click on the links.
And you felt the need to post that under this story? It's really getting old to see people bitching about ded's posts. It's not cool any more, if you don't like them don't read them. Idio

You have made you're self look a complete tit here. Steve himself on video said they were working on the iPad first. You really need to know what you're talking about. Other than just trolling every post

Get used to it... He's as clueless as they come. I remember he used to post pictures of his crappy Archos Tablets while ridiculing the iPad.
If you get him riled up, he'll go bat shit crazy and commence to centering all his posts.

Steve Jobs was glad that he didn't end up as a victim of abortion. Did Steve Jobs influence SIRI?
http://www.lifenews.com/2011/11/25/s...m-of-abortion/
Siri is nice enough, and I use it more often than I ever thought I would, but the over-the-top hyperbole [sic] in this 'article' is laughable.
(...typical DeD fanaticism)

Executives in those positions say a lot of things... especially when it's most convenient (in their best interest) to do so.

Cluzee??? Has anyone else noticed an affinity for the letter zzz in Android/Linux product namez?
Have you noticed the names of some of the folks here that ends in "z"?
...and because Steve said it, on video no less, it surely must be the absolute truth.
You're right. You obviously work for Apple. We should just believe you instead.
