Steven Sande and Erica Sadun of TUAW have created an Amazon Kindle eBook titled, "Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple’s Intelligent Assistant."
With all of the posts, tips, roundups, etc. about Siri that have been floating around the internet lately, this book is a helpful and concise resource for discovering how to make the most of Apple's spunky assistant in the iPhone 4S.
Want to add a little bounce to your Lock screen? If so, then BounceLock might be just the solution.
BounceLock is a visual jailbreak tweak that adds varying levels of bounce to your device's slide to unlock bar.
It's a very subtle effect for those who enjoy altering the visual style of their iOS device. Check inside for a video demonstration...
Siri understands a wide range of voice commands already, and the technology is bound to improve when third-party app integration is eventually implemented.
Now that everyone has had time to play with Siri on the iPhone 4S, interesting ideas are continuing to surface about how Siri could revolutionize certain markets. Siri has the potential to help drastically improve the 911 system in the US with location-aware and intelligent emergency alerts...
It's crazy what a thousand dollars worth of iPads, a Wi-FI connection, and a little bit of creativity can do. In this case, it can help create one of the best Halloween costumes we've seen yet.
The idea is to create a gaping hole in the torso using two iPads, one taped iPad on the front, and one taped on the back, then start a FaceTime conversation between them. The result is quite cool...

Mobile Terminal is an extremely handy tool to have if you're used to using a command line interface.
Unfortunately, the version that's still in Cydia has gone without an update for quite some time now, rendering it unusable on recent iOS firmware.
With this handy video tutorial, I'll show you how to get back in the game with Mobile Terminal on iOS 5...
It appears Apple's Mac OS X team is working on integrating two of iOS's biggest features into Mac OS X, with iMessage and AirPlay mirroring apparently in the pipeline.
According to 9to5Mac's sources, the Mac OS X team at Apple is currently working on ways to make both technologies part of a future Lion update, though there are no guarantee that the features will ever see the light of day.
iMessage in particular has been long rumored to be the replacement for iChat we've been waiting for, but AirPlay mirroring could potentially change the way presentations are given using a Mac...
While Apple's Photo Stream is a great way of getting photos to sync across multiple devices, there's one glaring problem. Photo Stream doesn't support video, presumably because Apple doesn't want its servers full of hours and hours of 1080p videos showing cats sleeping.
It makes sense from a technical standpoint, but that doesn't help you if you need to get a video from one device to another. There's syncing with iTunes, and doing the iPhoto jig in the hope that everything works as planned, but it's a pain, and not always practical.
That's where PhotoSync comes in...
Apple Stores are already considered trendsetters in the retail space. From their awe-inspiring architecture to their product-focused environments, the Cupertino company's world-wide chain has other retailers turning green with envy.
Now it seems like the Mac-makers are looking to start another fad: self-checkout. No, we're not talking about those big machines at your local Walmart. We're talking about customers paying for items using their iPhones without the help of a sales clerk...
If anyone doubted whether Samsung really meant business in its pursuit of total smartphone marketshare ownership, this one little tidbit to come of the company's earnings call might just help to put the record straight.
During a call to discuss Samsung's most recent financial results, the company's spokesman, Robert Yi, said that Samsung was working on a flexible display for its upcoming smartphones and tablets.
Surely all this is pie-in-the-sky stuff for Samsung, right? Wrong. Samsung hopes to introduce flexible displays to its smartphone lineup in as early as 2012...
With each new product release, Apple launches a whole new advertising campaign around whatever fancy new features have been added, and the iPhone 4S is no exception.
Starting today, Apple is airing three new ads to help spread the word about the "most amazing iPhone yet." The 30-second spots feature iCloud, Siri, and the supercharged 8 megapixel camera packed into the iPhone 4S. And in typical Apple fashion, we're not sure where real products end and the hype machine begins...
You're most likely familiar with the iOS hit game Fruit Ninja, in which your goal is to cut in half a variety of fruits that are being thrown at you while avoiding bombs.
But did you know that a movie is being made about the game? Well, that's not actually true. As far as I know, no one is planning to make a movie out of it, but that didn't prevent SAX Jewell and his friends from creating a Fruit Ninja trailer, and it is hilarious...
