Chances are you've seen Apple's newest commercial for Siri. It features random people talking to Siri in all sorts of situations, whether it be trying to tie a bow tie or trying to send a text message.
Comedian and talk show host Conan O’Brien has a slightly different vision for what the Siri commercial should be like, so he put together a parody version of the popular commercial that features some more interesting questions for Siri to answer...
Dag Kittlaus, co-founder and former CEO of the Siri company that was recently bought by Apple, has left the project he helped start at the height of its glory. As reported by All Things D, Kittlaus's departure had been planned for quite some time.
Although Kittlaus leaves at a peculiar time, he apparently parted ways with Apple on friendly terms. Siri will continue to be developed by what is purportedly the largest team at Apple...
After talking to Siri on your iPhone 4S, you may have realized that you're talking to a woman. Ask Siri, "What are you wearing?" and you'll usually get a woman's response.
If you haven't realized that Siri is a she, then you prove the point of CNN's Brandon Griggs: people subconsciously prefer a female voice over a male one. The preference apparently harkens back to biology.
If you've spent any time with Siri, you may have noticed that you can actually ask it to search the web for pretty much anything. At this point, Siri fires up a Google search and populates the search field with whatever it thinks you asked. The degree of accuracy here very much depends on your accent and whether it's a full moon or not, but on the whole, it does the job fairly well.
But did you know that you can also have Siri work its magic with both the Microsoft Bing and Yahoo search engines? Well, you can...
The first commercial starring Apple's latest handset has just hit the airwaves. And as you might have guessed, the focus of the ad is the company's new Siri feature. For some folks, this may have been the first time they have seen it in action.
One of Apple's strong suits is its ability to market its products to the average consumer, and this commercial is no exception. It demonstrates everyday uses for the new voice control system, and leaves you wanting to know more...
Comedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert is known for being an Apple fan. He regularly makes Apple-related jokes on his show, and a recent episode shows him having quite the conversation with Siri, the personal assistant in the iPhone 4S.
Andy Rubin, Senior VP of Mobile at Google, is considered the head of the Android platform. He leads the team that develops the Android OS for the plethora of handset makers that partner with Google.
Rubin sat down with veteran journalist Walt Mossberg at the AsiaD conference yesterday to talk about Android and his view of the mobile consumer market. He talked specifically about the state of Android tablets, his view of Apple post-Steve Jobs, and Siri...
Siri is obviously the breakout feature in Apple's latest handset. Love it or hate it, you can't deny that it's a crowd pleaser (when the servers are up). Even the critics that say that the system is too limited right now, but we all have to agree that Siri has some great potential.
The potential lies with third party developers. Currently Siri can't launch apps or perform tasks inside third party applications, but it's coming. And the folks behind the popular task manager Remember The Milk are leading the way...
Jon Pielak is the former lead iPhone developer for Siri, the voice technology that Apple has implemented in the iPhone 4S. Pielak helped start the Siri project back in 2008.
Some may have forgotten that Siri actually started as a popular App Store app for the iPhone. In a recent blog post, Siri's former lead developer talks about why Apple bought Siri, what makes Siri special, the what's on the horizon for the most advanced consumer voice technology on earth...
Singer Jonathan Mann decided to record a duet with Siri, Apple's newest AI interface in the iPhone 4S.
Siri is known for her attitude, and this duet demonstrates just how much of a heartbreaker Siri can be...
We talked about Siri, Apple's new voice-controlled digital assistant, for months before it actually arrived. We didn't even get confirmation that it existed until a week before its release, yet it feels like we've been hyping it up forever. For good reason, too.
When before have we been able to talk to a piece of technology in that all-so-awesome Star Trek kind of way? The way we've been dreaming about ever since someone in a lycra suit, (three sizes too small for them of course) first asked a question of a disembodied voice. Star Trek characters often had seemingly real conversations with their computers, and we were oh so jealous.
Until now...
The most talked about aspect of the iPhone 4S has to be Siri. Apple's newest AI technology has been making splashes in the press since its announcement two weeks ago. People are even trying to port it to the iPhone 4.
Siri can recognize and interpret tons of voice commands. We've all had fun seeing Siri's attitude in action, but did you know that the dictation aspect of Siri is incredibly advanced, too?
