Siri Voice Actress Doesn't Use Siri (huffingtonpost.com)
An anonymous coward writes: Susan Bennett, the actress who provided the voice of Apple's Siri assistant, says she "doesn't really" use Siri herself. "It's too weird," she says in a new interview. While she uses many Apple products, "I'm used to hearing my voice on radio and TV commercials and that sort of thing, but to hear my own voice coming out of this little computer phone is too strange."
Bennett says she recorded every sound combination in the English language one fateful July in 2005, working five days a week, four hours a day, but didn't know it was for Siri until six years later, in 2011, when another voice actor e-mailed,"Hey, we're playing around with this new iPhone. Isn't this you?" Bennett says she was "kind of horrified, because I hadn't been told... On the other hand, I was extremely flattered." In the interview she also says she felt "dissed" when Siri answered one of her first questions, "What are you doing," with a disgusted "I'm talking to you..." Although on her personal web site, Bennett shares a recording of herself being interviewed by Siri.

Fuck off. You add nothing but butt-hurt whiny bitch shit. You don't need to respond to every Apple insult.
I don't.
And at least I put my Karma where my mouth is, unlike you, ANONYMOUS COWARD.
There's a reason why my Karma is Excellent, even though I NEVER Post as AC, and that I almost continuously get Mod Points 15 at a time; and, conversely, why most people simply ignore/filter ACs, like you.
And as far as "adding nothing" to the "conversation", in amongst your ridiculous, puerile, ad Hominem attack, the one thing I DIDN'T see was a FACTUAL REBUTTAL to my assertion that "not buying an iPhone" (with the tacit suggestion to buy an Android phone instead), actually exposed the user to FAR more Malware than an iPhone user.
