What is SIRI?

Siri is a new app that will be included with the iPhone 4S. This app is a wonderful new method that will enable you to actually 'talk' to your iphone.

Does it sound familiar? Are you thinking that androids have speech recognition since one year. So what's new with iPhone's Siri. Well, a helluva lot! Siri is AI - Artificial Intelligence while Android (they are awesome nonetheless) is just a software. So an AI system actually understands the 'context' while to an Android, specific clear instructions have to be given. You can tell Siri..'Whats the time in Newzealand'..Siri tells you the time..and you can continue saying..What about London'..Siri understands the context and replies with the time in London.

Siri can take action based on what you say, and isn’t limited to a small set of specific keywords to do what you ask.

How Does Siri Work?

Watch the following video to grasp what and how Siri could make a difference to your life.

Did you notice that the man says 'My Wife' and Siri actually connects to her. Ain't Siri amazing?

What all Can be done by Siri?

Siri can at present control many of the apps in your iPhone like the reminders, alarms, text, call, video, timers etc.

A compilation 0f some of Siri's capabilities.

• Ask for a Reminder – At a specific time or place
• Ask to play a playlist
• Ask or the weather
• Ask about your stocks
• Ask for information – Like a restaurant
• Ask to schedule a meeting
• Ask to send an email
• Ask to send a text
• Ask to set an alarm
• Ask for directions
• Ask to set a timer
• Ask about Siri
• Ask for someone’s number

All these small actions are actually time consuming and often used. Siri quickens up the whole process for you. Siri is Smart!

One more video of Siri for iphone 4s to help you grasp its significance.

TechnIT's opinion: Siri for iPhone is AWESOME! Must buy iPhone 4s for Siri.

Stumble It!

The Exotic animal Sea Mink ( Mustela macrodon ) , was a North American member of the Mustelidae family. The Sea Mink was hunted to extinction even before it was taxonomically described or scientifically studied.

But the power of the internet. And the irony of our times. Even the extinct sea mink can be bought for $3600 ONLY!!
Confused!!

SeaMink may have been extinct from this world, but it has its own , unique place in the virtual world - SeaMink.COM

:) Yes Thats it. There can only be 1 SEAMINK.COM , now at auction at Sedo. It is quite ironic that an animal which could not get enough attention to save itself from extinction from this earth, has managed to gain all the attention in the virtual world. Anybody could own seamink now via the .com , and convert into god knows what kind of site. The worst would be if it turns into a porn portal ,though highly unlikely, yet its quite a thought. :)

Poor, gentle sea mink. or rather Seamink.COM. Wish we had doled out enough dollars to save them earlier.
I sincerely hope that some environmental groups or individuals lay their hands on this domain. It could be our way of acknowledging this simple small creature whom we failed.
