Apple’s Siri Kinda Stinks

Apple's Siri Kinda Stinks

Kid Friday thinks Siri stinks.  Well, most of the time.  Sometimes it works.  Most of the time it doesn’t.  So much so, that we rarely attempt to even try and use Siri.

We’re not mad.  Just a little disappointed.

So is this guy, according to the WSJ…

“A New York man represented by Robbins Geller is suing Apple for false advertising, alleging that the company’s commercials convey a “misleading and deceptive message” about Siri’s capabilities.”

The Best NEW App For All You Apple Fanboys and Girls

Air Dictate

Own an iPhone 4S and Mac computer? Check out a new hands-free typing app called Air Dictate.

There are no public APIs for using the Siri voice-activated assistant for dictation, so developer Avatron found a way to control Siri and convert speech into text. The text then transfers to the corresponding Mac (with OS X 10.6.8 or higher) running the Air Dictate Receiver app.

An Apple Television Set With Included Siri? Yes, We’ll Take One!

Apple television

Apple’s full-fledged television set will arrive at the end of 2012 in three screen sizes, maxing out at 55 inches, a new rumor claims.

Citing sources in Japan, Australia’s SmartHouse reported this week that the new Apple television will also come in an entry-level size of 32 inches. It did not indicate exactly what screen size the third model would feature, falling somewhere between the low end with 32 inches and maximum size of 55 inches.

The report said it’s a “major Japanese company” that’s involved in manufacturing Apple’s rumored television set. Echoing previous claims, the report said that the Apple television will feature Siri integration, allowing users to control the TV set with their voice.
