News, but not the serious kind
Taking Siri out for a spin?
Blog Guy, I gather from your recent posts that you’re a big fan of Siri, the personal assistant on the new iPhone 4S who carries on conversations with users?
I am. I’m pretty dazzled, I must say.
So, have you gotten to know her personally?
Well, I don’t like to boast, but as you can see from this screen grab, yes. Siri sent me her personal, private phone number.
Blog Guy, you’re just pathetic. That’s one of those fictitious 555 numbers that they use in movies, which don’t really exist. Siri is just having fun with you. So, I heard a weird rumor about the timing of the release of the iPhone featuring Siri.
Yeah, it’s true. Apple released the phone a couple of weeks before Halloween so they can cash in selling Siri costumes for trick-or-treating. All the kids will be trying to look and sound like Siri next Monday night.
New iPhone? No Siri, Bob!
Blog Guy, I read your review of the new iPhone 4S the day it was released, and found it ridiculous. You bill yourself as one of the top technology bloggers in your zip code, and yet you didn’t even mention Siri, the phone’s incredible voice recognition feature, which answers questions and obeys commands.
I don’t think you even HAVE a 4S yet!
That’s where you’re wrong. I was just carrying on a conversation with Siri, and I’ll paste it into my blog to prove it.
Where’s the stylus for my new iPhone?
So, Blog Guy! I guess for top gadget writers like yourself, this is a HUGE day!
Of course. Give me a hint. The new Williams-Sonoma catalog?
No! The new Apple iPhone 4S. Surely you have one and you’ve already played with it?
Oh, um, sure! I went over at 7 a.m. today but the line was very long, so I bought one from a guy outside. My staff and I are testing it now.
Honeydew you need a new phone?
Blog Guy, I guess cellphones are pretty much a universal sight now. I mean it’s the same thing in every part of the world, isn’t it?
Not everywhere. Over in Jordan, for instance, people still make their calls on huge melons.
