Me- "What are you up to?"

Genius!

Good question. It may do. Perhaps some Scottish iPhoner/iPad-er can tell us?

Interestingly, ask Mrs. dpb to speak to it. Let's find out if it understands Zimb accent.

Oh, sorry I forgot you guys don't believe in Apple.

Yes, I tried it just a minute ago, after reading this ^ post of yours.

It answered: "Just counting the minutes until Apple watch comes out".

It did give that previous intellectual answer last night, rather than this materialistic answer.

May be Siri is materialistic in the day time, and intellectual at the night time. Suits me just fine.

But on this thread, we were talking about talking to Apple's Siri, which you don't have.

Anyway.

Is that Siri's answer in Scottish to your "What are you up to" on your iPhone, Loz? I didn't know you were Scottish, or did you just make up the accent?

That's what you haters blindly think. I don't have a single Apple product that I've felt under delivered now compare that to the hundreds of people who bought Android Tablets and Android Watches, both launched as a reaction to Apple products and both a flop.

As you like your Star Trek, I asked Siri on your behalf: "Have you watched Star Trek?"

It answered: "No, I haven't yet watched Star Trek."

Try it yourself on your iPhone, and let's see what it says.

I think that your iPhone has failed your expectations, Loz. How disappointing!

Call it a hunch but I'd say it's probably something you'd have on the side in your bedroom to charge it on at night, not something you have in the office.

I know, it does that!

Daughter dear was fiddling about with my phone one day in my car, and she asked Siri- "Do you think Hitler was a bad guy?"

It said- "Nice of you to ask, but it doesn't really matter what I think.".

She also asked- "Have you ever met Steve Jobs?"

It said- "Nice of you to ask, but I'm sorry I have never met Steve Jobs".

But that would actually be game changing. ( not what apple does )

Poor child was in tears, mum complained to the store, and that iPhone was removed from the display shelf.
