It's funny. If I'm in public, I just speak in a quiet voice, while holding the mic near my mouth. Siri's not perfect, but she's not a non-native English speaker who you have to yell in an exaggeratedly-slow voice to. If you want to look and sound like an idiot, more power to you, but it's not Siri's fault.
If you use it in a way that doesn't work, you're the idiot. Just thought you should know.
There are plenty of things Siri does well. Use the tool when it's convenient, and don't use it otherwise. Getting your "blood to boil" over an optional feature has got to be one of the more stupid things I've read in a while. And considering that I'm reading The Fountainhead, that's quite a bar to reach.
I use it in the car with my Bluetooth setup to call people. No hunting for a contact while trying to drive. It's also great for doing unit conversions (how many teaspoons in 1 and a half cups?). It does well with setting reminders and timers.
If you're going to use a tool in a way in which it performs poorly instead of sticking to what it does well, you'll be disappointed. When you tell the whole world that you're a stubborn idiot, we'll point at you and laugh.
Your entire post is a waste of words. The GP was talking about a specific context, in which Siri does well. He never claimed Siri could parse and understand any speech. Basically, you're a complete idiot, and should probably be kept away from sharp and pointy objects for your own safety.
PETA are hypocrites because people are animals too, and they don't give a shit about how humans are treated by others, or even what they themselves do to humans.
Why doesn't everyone just grow up and start acting like adults for a change????
This is the most stupid sentiment to ever grace the Internet. Adults have been doing this to each other for all of recorded history, and almost certainly before then. To suggest that these are not grown-ups is just sheer stupidity and completely ignoring the real problems and reasons people act this way.
Outside of the occasional bully, I have never met a child who acted the way you suggest these grown-ups are acting.
Now we know what Cameron got out of the Paris attacks. I wonder what encryption he used to communicate with the perpetrators to help organize them./conspiracy
It's a shame your father didn't gift you with a lit stick of dynamite. If he had, no one would be subject to the extreme stupidity that his uncontrollable lust for a chimpanzee gave birth to.
I swear, you Apple haters really must be using a cheap Chinese knock-off or something. The only blue I see are some icons in the dock. Nothing's animated, and all the buttons are obviously buttons. Maybe you just need new glasses?
If you're one of the 0.0000000000001% of people on the planet who need to regularly connect to wired ethernet, and you can't stand using a simple dongle, then don't buy a Macbook. It's not rocket science, you fucked-up, piece of shit, hate-filled asshole.
I agree with the in-house mechanic. The ambulance service where my sister worked for a number of years is co-located with a mechanic. The ambulance service gets their vehicles serviced for practically nothing, and the mechanic pays practically nothing for the space. It's a good deal for both of them.
It also just plain takes longer to get through the App Store submission process. On Google Play, you can release a new version every hour, if you want.
The number of 3rd-parties who would agree to give Apple a copy of their source is small enough to completely kill the App Store if your policy were implemented.

Sorry you have a speech impediment.

If Reuters didn't accept images from Muslim journalists, they wouldn't have this problem.
Can't be. From all accounts, these guys are helpful. Have you ever tried to get tech support from an Israeli?!?
Nature. All species prey on weaker species. If you don't want to be part of nature, please immolate yourself.

Yeah. The college administration will lynch the guy on the college green.
You are such an idiot.
Why do we see no bold comments by Iran and Saudi Arabia where they are willing to put aside their difference to stop the slaughter of fellow muslims?
Are you really as clueless as this question indicates?

You must be doing some weird things with your Mac. Why don't you just disable the gestures you don't like?
Metric is for weenies. But then, most of the world are weenies.

Slashdotters living in basements have a slightly skewed worldview. You may have noticed.
You can only side-load by building in Xcode. Possible adhoc and enterprise builds can be side-loaded, but those have been available forever.

The naiveté is strong with this one! Earmarking Federal income means nothing. Never has, never will.
A symbology that requires one to read in a different direction based on the symbol would be extremely retarded and infinitely stupid.
