December 26, 2012 I was browsing my Google+ news feed and a post came up with a warning reading:
WARNING: DON'T PUT IPHONE 5 IN YOUR POCKET!
I don't own an iPhone 5 but I immediately became interested in this strange disclaimer.
Do you have a problem with the iPhone 5? Apparently a lot of Apple users do. But thanks to last night's 'Saturday Night Live,' we've been gently reminded that most of us simply love complaining.
Apple’s Siri app turned a lot of heads and ears when the iPhone 4S first hit the shelves. The voice controlled app looked and sounded like something from an Arthur C. Clarke novel.
However, it may not bring us any closer to having a real HAL 9000 computer (and considering what happened in ’2001: A Space Odyssey,’ maybe we should be thankful for that).
January 13, 2012 Apple Inc's latest iPhone 4S, with voice-activated technology, was introduced to China today with great anticipation. Hundreds of people who couldn't wait to get their hands on the new phone were lined up outside Apple's flagship Beijing store before it opened, but fears of chaos caused the store to cancel sales. Apparently, some people in line were armed with eggs and let the store have it.
Facebook plans to enter into the smart phone market in the next 12-18 months with a phone that they have codenamed ‘Buffy.’
And, yes, that’s because Mark Zuckerberg and company thinks the device will be an iPhone slayer.
November 23, 2011 Here's a little crack for my Apple devotee friends. Apple has always played their Black Friday specials close to the vest but this year they've been leaked and we've got 'em here.
We’ve all seen examples of dumb calls made to 911 before. But the age of handheld technology has now introduced a new form of abuse where 911 is used as iPhone support.
Apple’s voice-recognition technology, Siri, has been lauded for its groundbreaking ability to understand natural human language rather than just simple commands. In the past, most people have used it for various mundane activities — finding the nearest sushi restaurant or theater showtimes for a movie, for example.
In its most recent incarnation, you can even ask it questions (“Will it rain today?”) and it’ll use GPS to spit out an accurate answer. But some creative folks have tested Siri’s abilities on the new iPhone 4S with rather amusing results.
In anticipation of Apple’s iPhone 5 announcement, Jimmy Kimmel and his trusty sidekick Guillermo previewed some of the must-have smartphone’s features on last night’s ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live.’
Apple’s highly-anticipated ‘Let’s Talk iPhone’ event on Tuesday began with newly-installed CEO Tim Cook reflecting on some of the company’s successes, as well as one new one: the new iPhone.
Dubbed the iPhone 4S, the gadget keeps with the company’s tradition of introducing completely new models every other year, with upgrades in between.
One of our favorite niche smartphone apps is RunPee, which tells you the best time during a particular movie to excuse yourself to do something about that gallon-sized Diet Coke you drank when you first sat down. But what if the theater bathroom has a long line or looks like it hasn’t been cleaned since the Eisenhower administration? What if you’re running errands and there’s nary a Starbucks loo in sight?
That’s where CLOO comes in.
