    Great video. Just wanted to say that I like these short videos you guys are doing - sometimes I wish they had a little more 'meat,' but they're great videos nonetheless.

  • 'SiriOS' predicted for 2020 WWDC - here's what it might be

    Am I the only one who absolutely HATES this idea? For starters, I don't like the idea of having any voice assistant other than Siri in my house/life, due to the obvious (and well-documented) privacy concerns ... but even with Siri - good lord. It very rarely "just works," and it is consistently faster to simply pull my phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and just do whatever Siri was unable to accomplish. In fact, just this morning - 2nd gen AirPods in my ear and I said "hey Siri, make a FaceTime Audio call to my mom" and ... nothing happened. Pulled my iPhone X out of my pocket and tried it again. The dictation was fine (no errors) but all Siri managed was an irritatingly snarky "I'm on it" and then ... nothing. 

    Utterly useless. 

    I just ordered a pair of Sony WF-1000XM3s because I'm tired, after two years of AirPods, of having to turn my music up loud enough to drown out the outside world, and the only thing that actually have me pause was the lack of "Hey Siri" support. But if I really think about it, it's not much of a loss as Siri rarely works well, for me. I don't know, just my opinion.
