Mark that date. I believe history will treat it as the day we began using speech to interact with our computers. It is the day Apple released the iPhone 4S with Siri, the automated assistant built exclusively into the 4S. Before I elaborate, a brief disclaimer. I am an unapologetic geek and a huge Apple fan. Having said that, I honestly believe I'm being objective when I predict Siri will be viewed as a transformative technological innovation. Apple describes Siri as an "intelligent assistant". After using it for just three weeks, I believe their description is accurate. We've been able to speak commands in varying degrees to our computers, cars and smartphones for some time now. So, what's new and/or different about Siri?]]> http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/11/my-girlfriend/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/10/we-are-all-much-poorer-today/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/10/we-are-all-much-poorer-today/#comments Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:16:24 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=588 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/10/we-are-all-much-poorer-today/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/do-not-buy-1password-3-9/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/do-not-buy-1password-3-9/#comments Wed, 14 Sep 2011 03:01:20 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=581 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/do-not-buy-1password-3-9/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/the-ipads-first-real-competition/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/the-ipads-first-real-competition/#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2011 19:17:11 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=575 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/09/the-ipads-first-real-competition/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/08/required-reading-for-geeks/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/08/required-reading-for-geeks/#comments Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:40:44 +0000 admin http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=568 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/08/required-reading-for-geeks/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/turn-off-natural-scrolling-in-lion/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/turn-off-natural-scrolling-in-lion/#comments Tue, 26 Jul 2011 19:02:12 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=554 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/turn-off-natural-scrolling-in-lion/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/an-in-depth-ios-5analysis/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/an-in-depth-ios-5analysis/#comments Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:03:15 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=551 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/an-in-depth-ios-5analysis/feed/ 0 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/3-reasons-the-new-13-macbook-air-is-a-macbook-pro-killer/ http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/3-reasons-the-new-13-macbook-air-is-a-macbook-pro-killer/#comments Wed, 20 Jul 2011 19:09:46 +0000 Joseph Kelley http://www.macnoob.net/blog/?p=518 http://www.macnoob.net/blog/2011/07/3-reasons-the-new-13-macbook-air-is-a-macbook-pro-killer/feed/ 0
