And some - even if they don't change it - will always open google.com and then start their searching from there - especially the less tech savvy.
This.
It always cracks me up when I see users actually type www.google.com every time they need to search something. No bookmark, no default search engine, not even using history, just typing.
Yet they never changed the antenna design in the iPhone 4. In spite of selling more of those than any other single model of phone in the world. Yeah, clearly there was a large problem.
Aside from quibbling with Adobe CS being common, I agree. But it's kind of a chicken and egg problem, with development time thrown in. Apple has to put it out there, make the app store the default way to go before Adobe & MS will put real resources into complying.
Siri on the 4S sends your voice to Apple's servers. This means it is sloooow (assuming you even have a data connection)...plus it runs down your (expensive) data plan...plus Apple can log and index everything you ask.
Siri doesn't send your voice to Apple's servers. It parses it & sends queries based on it's parsing. The queries are small, and negligibly impacts your data plan. Apple indexes queries, just like Google does.
Also, Siri does not do navigation. It only works with the built-in "Maps" app, which does not do navigation.
If I ask Siri how to get to NYC, it gives me a map (that can have traffic on it), and step by step directions. You obviously have a different definition of navigation than most people. Sorry it doesn't work with Navigon. But it's more than functional for me.
Saying they could go into a coma is not the same thing as actually going into a coma. I'm sure there are kids (actually parents) that think they're allergic, but are exposed every day. My first grader brings peanut butter & jelly sandwiches to lunch weekly, as do many other kids. None of the kids are 'careful' not to wave their sandwiches around - hell they throw food like kids do. No one's ever had a coma, or any freaking reaction whatsoever.
Again, how is using apple's servers through siri any different than using google's servers through a web search? Do you really go to each and every site to do local site searches, or do you just google it? Because most everyone else does.

I thought it was condiment?
Since 1960, CO2 levels have increased 22%, while average temperature has risen 0.2% (I don't know how they teased that signal out of the noise).
Given the purported positive feedbacks related to AGW, shouldn't we have observed a somewhat larger response by now?
Uhhh, not if it's a 10:1 ratio.
This is because the temperature response to Co2 is LOGARITHMIC.
Yeah, right. The whole atmosphere is a simple logarithmic equation.
Bailout time for costs!
I'm leeching AND seeding - right now! Do I get 2 weeks, or overlapping sentences?
Because a $50 piece of software is the same as a week in jail.
Our sigs should get together.

Solid argument. Airtight.

I'll be glad to once iCloud goes down. Which it will, eventually. And it will be hilarious.
So hilarious that all the phones will still be working? Yeah, that's a fucking riot.

Your ignorance is really showing.

Google is just as bad in that sense.
Yet everyone is ok with Google. Which was my original point.
Still not 100% certain if this was meant to be a double entendre. If so, awesome. If not, awesome anyway.
Not yet. But you can buy apps from Adobe in the app store, which is what you were complaining that you couldn't do.
It's not like Adobe has ever been known for speedy development. They're still working on the transition to Intel. Seriously.

What malware? Just ask Google. The company, not the search engine.

You can already buy Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Editor from the App Store - $79.99
Did you miss the sentences before that one?
" the only app connected to Siri is the Apple Maps app."
So, it actually does navigation. Just doesn't have a public API yet. Big difference.
Well, at least your nick is appropriate. Just ignore google's behavior.

Well, my old phone's microphone was full of pocket lint, so I actually did have to talk louder to be heard.
So, google searches are ok, apple searches are not? What exactly are you worried about?
Macintoshes are too soft!
Yeah, if only Siri could send a text message:

or do navigation:

But yeah, Siri says it can't create contacts. Yet.
