3:43 AM - Do You Know How funny Answers Siri Can Give You

Have you bought iPhone4S? If you haven't, then you won't know how funny Siri is. It's a multi-tasking built-in application developed for the iPhone 4S, has garnered all our attention since the phone's release. It's easy to use, you ask, she answers, you may say why so many people think it's funny, because the answers, you have no idea what answers she will give you.

And where do these answers come from, actually they are all planed by Apple engineers, did Steve Jobs ask them to put these words in Siri's mouth? Those people who have experienced this magical function of Siri said Siri was the iPhone4S' most exciting new feature. Here we go, Q: I really love you. Siri: I hope you haven't said this to the other cell phone. After the release of iPhone4S, we actually don't care other functions of their cell phone, because Siri is the only one that attracts us, the voice-assisted service of iPhone4S. Just ten days, the world sets off a wave of spoof. Asking philosophical questions to Siri, proposing to Siri, or let two iPhone4S ask each other each then answer each other.

The application allows users to employ voice control to schedule appointments, search the internet and more, according to Apple Inc. It has shown that, along with a fair amount of accuracy, it has a sense of humor, as well. Some one proposes to Siri for three times, and the first time Siri says: It sounds very sweet, but what else can I help you? The second time, Siri says: Let's just be friends, okay? And the last time, she answered: My user agreement doesn't include marrying you, I'm sorry, so that's the right answer. Of course, if you ask a serious question, like "Siri, how can I watch Blu-ray on my Apple", she probably will answer you like " blu-ray ripper can help you". But it seems like most of us rather to have fun with Siri.

Siri was repeatedly asked a series of philosophical questions, like who are you? Seriously, who the hell are you? What is the meaning of life? And the funny thing is Siri won't give the same answer, "I am your assistant … .does not matter who I am … I can not answer you what's the meaning of life, give me some time …" There are more interesting things. If you put two ihone4S together, let them ask and answer each other, in the end, the system almost collapse.

Why is Siri so powerful? Some one said in the internet that actually Apple built a huge call center in Hyderabad, India, all the questions that asked by users are sent here, then those staffs type quickly to reply. This is the so-called India Cloud, and it has another name "iCloud", if those workers feel tired, they just need to drink Red Bull and will be full of energies. Do not take it serious, this is a spoof, too. Siri is a more powerful artificial intelligence system, but Siri can't give you an optional or funny answer, if you ask her a little complex issue, it would collapse.

Now you know why is Siri so popular, if you have iPhone4S, try to ask her some funny thing, see what answer she will give you, Q: Siri, I want to watch blu-ray on you, I mean, this cell phone", Sir: Go get blu-ray to iphone, I mean me, huh, huh.

2:53 AM - Five New Features iOS 6 Will Have, According to the Rumors

WWDC is coming in a week, however, according to the rumors, we won't see any iOS device in this conference, but what we won't miss is the information about iOS 6, Mountain Lion, iCloud and so on. iOS 6 will meet us until this fall, but there are many guesses about it, one of them is that many new features will be added to iOS 6.

The first one is MountainLionCenter, it is a Cydia tweak, which can allow users to freely control the notification center, In addition, it supports both portrait and landscape screen mode. Just like how Mac users open the notification center, users can tune out the interface via slipping the screen from right to left. In addition, if using MountainLionCerter, some icons in status bar may be hidden so developers add those icons to MountainLionCerter so that users can view them conveniently.

The second is Siri. Right, you may feel excited about this news, because generally, iPhone 4S is the only device that can use Siri right now. We can not only rip dvd to ipad to watch HD movies on the Retina Display, according to 9to5Mac, Siri will come to iPad with iOS 6. However, only new iPad can have it, so if you own a new iPad, you can talk to Siri at that time. It will come complete with music playback, iMessaging, calendar managing, reminders, weather, maps integration, emailing, notes, contacts searching, Safari integration, Worlfram-Alpha searching and more. The only thing missing from Siri for the iPad will be the phone-related commands.



The third one is iCloud Tabs. iCloud Tabs allows iCloud users to view the labels in Safari on multiple iOS and Mac devices. After clicking the iCloud Tabs on the iOS 6 device or Mac, the opened label on each device will be displayed in a synchronized list, so users can quickly select the label. iCloud Tabs on the iPhone and iPod touch was hidden in the Bookmark Toolbar.

Another one is Do Not Disturb. This feature lets users turn off the notifications and messages from notification center. Sources say that while the option is present directly in the Mountain Lion Notification Center, the Do Not Disturb toggle is stationed like the Airplane Mode button in settings.

Of course, the new features of iOS 6 are more than these. Mark Gurman over at 9to5Mac relays what trusted sources told him, that iOS 6 will also include Mail VIPs, which is a new feature Apple announced in OS X Mountain Lion that works in a manner similar to Gmail's Priority Inbox in that it automatically collects your important email messages.

We can do many things on iPad right now, like how to transfer photos from pc to ipad, and if these rumors about iOS 6 new features are true, it will be more convenient for us to make the most of iPad and other iOS devices, so about the authenticity of these information, we just wait for the WWDC in next week.

5:26 AM - Features of iOS 6: Siri,FaceBook,FaceTime and So On

WWDC was held at the Moscone in San Francisco, Apple brought us the whole new iOS 6, which has more than 200 new functions, certainly can give users better experiences. This new update is only not available for iPad 1, iPod touch 1-3, so most Apple users have the chance to enjoy the functions that iOS will bring us this fall. Now let's see what features Apple has introduced about iOS 6 at WWDC.

1. Siri. This voice assistant is always the first one to recommend. Siri is one the most impressive features in iOS 6, but only new iPad can use it, of course and iPhone 4S. The voice functionality of Siri will be richer and more humane. In the future Apple will cooperate with a number of car manufacturers to develop products that can support Siri. Now except for figuring out how to transfer dvd to ipad to watch DVD movies, new iPad users also can play jokes with Siri. Siri in iOS 6 can support Chinese, French, Italian and other new languages, which means this voice assistant is more international.

2. 3D Map App. The most direct result of competition between Apple and Google is that Apple will have its own map app. iPhone users have been using Google Maps for a long time, but this time, Apple released 3D map app at WWDC, the cooperation between Apple and Google now is over. Apple promised "vector-based map elements" that provide for smooth graphics and text, as well as "incredibly fluid" panning, tilting, and zooming.



3. FaceTime. As iOS user, who wouldn't use FaceTime to video chat between each other? But there is one disadvantage about FaceTime, that we only can use it via Wi-Fi, well, this issue wouldn't exist any more. iOS 6 enables FaceTime calls over a cellular connection, 3G network. So now even we are outside, there is no Wi-Fi, we still can chat with friends via FaceTime, Apple will also unify your Apple ID and your phone number, enabling you to not only take calls on the move but answer calls from your Mac or your iPad with FaceTime.

4. Facebook. Finally, only Twitter integration is available on iOS devices before, now Facebook has been added in the list too. We can now post to Facebook directly through Apple's app. If you have watched some interesting movie on iPad with dvd to ipad converter, you can just share it to Facebook directly and introduce it to all your friends, very nice right?

5. Safari. First and foremost is the ability to sync open tabs from Safari on a desktop to Safari on an iOS device via iCloud. Brand new safari browser will also add offline reading feature. Now, Safari can cache full websites for offline reading, not just links.
