    He is most certainly right, Siri is a joke. I turned it off and also FaceTime its simply not usable.

    Siri shouldnt be a joker, its all that it is. Apple needs to focus, im very surprised they ignited a feature that is not in Alpha stage not even Beta.
  • Steve Jobs should have left Apple to The Woz in his will. The Samuel L Jackson commercial with Siri is most definitely false advertisement.

    How many snakes are on this mothaf*ckin plane?!
    Siri: I found three skate shops fairly close to you
  • I think that Siri was bought by Apple to do simple tasks and not what Wozniak is talking about. If you advertised it to do what Wozniak is talking about, it would certainly be a joke. Apple advertises it to do very simple things and no more than that. It reminds me to pick up bread on the way home and it sends a text to my wife when I ask it to. I know that it is not designed to help me figure out the square footage of my house, so I don't ask it to. If Apple gave you a Siri that could figure out the square footage of your house, you would be upset that it could not figure out quantum theory. I like Siri and was very happy that Apple included it on their phones. I am also confident that Apple will make Siri a stronger tool, but it should be done slowly. One must keep in mind that most people using Siri are complete idots technologically. My 8 year old daughter was asking Siri how many trees where on our street.

    Exactly Dave, I used Siri back when it was an app and it was pretty good at what it did but to me it wasn't all that useful either.
    A lot more useful now in everyday life in my opinion. I think he's kinda wacked but thats just me.
    Isn't the article of him bashing it old from when the 4S came out in October. If not it sure sounds like the same exact article.

    If it understood what you said would be a start totally usless a gimick
  • Siri is junk been saying that since the 2 nd month voice control did just as well voice control is at least 10 years away and that's just wishful thinking on my part could be more like 25 years
