Unless you happen to be Asian, that is.

So, the big, wet your pants if you're a moron selling point of the new iPhone 4s is Siri. She talks to you! You say something, she writes it down! You ask Siri to call home - she calls home! You ask her to call work.. well..

What're you gonna do about THAT, Steve Jo.... oh.

I actually saw this "Siri" thing getting used yesterday, and the guy using it, with a.. sort of.. strong Scottish accent, couldn't get a word to be understood either.

I'm no technological expert, but surely this sort of thing should have been ironed out a bit before selling it?

It does seem that they could program an accent option. Even in America, I could see some southern and ummm... "urban" folk having issues as well.

Ben: This most recent "shout" is confusing the hell out of me. Is the user name "lol" with a space, and then the first colon signifies the comment is "): lol w/emoticon?" OR is the user name "lol

" and the comment is just "lol w/emoticon?" I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! May 9, 2013 20:19:25 GMT 2
