WeeLyrics makes it easy by placing lyrics right in iOS 5's Notification Center...
Okay, so we've been debating running this story for quite some time now, but we figured since this involves Siri, that ultimately we should do so.
You're probably all aware of the so-called Siri port that runs on some Russian server hosted who-knows-where. Well, apparently it technically works, although many have had very mixed success in getting it to work.
Inside, we'll show you what you need to do to go about obtaining this "port" for yourself, although it's not without some disclaimers...
How often do you find yourself watching TV with your iPhone either in your hand or within reach? If you're like me, the answer is most of (if not all of) the time. And that's exactly what the folks over at Viggle are counting on.
Introducing the new Viggle iPhone app. It allows you to earn points, which can be used to redeem prizes, by doing the same things that you're probably already doing daily, like playing on your iPhone and watching television...
Last year, Apple broke its three-year tradition of announcing a new iPhone during its WWDC event. The World Wide Developers Conference, which takes place in mid-June, is a major event for the Cupertino company.
For reasons unknown, Apple didn't unveil any new hardware at last year's conference. Instead, consumers had to wait until October to purchase the company's new handset. But according to a new report, that won't be the case this year...
It's been more than a week since Apple published the results of its record-breaking quarter, and the news is still paying off in dividends for the company.
Last week we told you that the 37 million iPhones Apple sold during the last three months made it the number one smartphone manufacturer in the world. But what we didn't know was that it also made Apple one of the top three mobile phone makers...

Last week, The New York Times ran a controversial piece on the poor working conditions inside the factories of Apple's supply chain. The report detailed awful labor practices including mandatory 60+ work weeks and hazardous working environments.
One of the many questions that arose in the wake of the article is, "why doesn't Apple just make its products here in the USA?" That would mean more jobs for Americans, and labor laws to protect the workers. But what many folks don't realize is that a lot of Apple's handset is already made in the US...
Apple heavily relies on Foxconn for producing its hugely popular iPhones and iPads, and the more business booms for Apple, the better Foxconn does, too.
Foxconn's huge production facilities are apparently not quite huge enough, and now the company is looking at building a further five facilities in Brazil, with the aim of helping it to keep up with demand for Apple devices.
According to AppleInsider, the five new facilities will employ about 1,000 people each...
Apple's handset business is doing pretty well these days. It recently gave birth to a new model, which seems to be doing rather well, and it's making inroads into a major new market — mainland China.
Of course, when you start selling more phones, you have to hire more people to make them. M.I.C gadget is reporting that thousands of Chinese workers have lined up to apply for new iPhone production positions at Foxconn...
The iPhone 4S is selling so well that Digitimes believes the competition is running scared. So much so that the likes of HTC, Samsung, Nokia and LG apparently delaying the release of new handsets until the iPhone 4S sales have slowed.
All the big smartphone players except Apple are expected to show off their upcoming handsets at Mobile World Congress in Spain, but if Digitimes is correct, then we'll have to wait until the second quarter before we can buy them.
Apple's fourth quarter showing was particularly impressive, garnering 23.9% of the market share. Samsung took second place with 23.5%. Behind the big two, Nokia made up the top three with 12.6%...
It seems right now that Apple just can do no wrong. With record sales of its devices and huge amounts of money sat in the bank, it's all very rosy over in Cupertino. But other companies have had successful periods before, only for things to go a little awry in future years.
Despite great results from Apple ever since Steve Jobs returned to the company back in 1997, it wasn't really until the iPhone's introduction in 2007 that the world really took notice of what was going in at 1 Infinite Loop.
Now it's a worldwide phenomenon, with people owning iPhones who would never have contemplated picking up a Mac.
Throw in the beginnings of a tablet market that is still being dominated by the iPad, and Apple have every right to feel smug. But it may not last forever...
