  • Getting to Know Siri
    Chapter 1 Getting to Know Siri In This Chapter ▶ Seeing what — or rather, who — Siri is ▶ Setting up Siri for your personal use ▶ Exploring different ways to use Siri ▶ Finding out how to get fast and reliable replies ▶ Teaching Siri what to call you ongratulations! You’re now the owner of the most definitive Cguide to Siri on the planet. This easy-to-read For Dummies title will teach you everything you need to know about Siri — and then some. Be prepared to master all of Siri’s amazing features, at your own pace, so you can get a lot more out of your beloved iPhone, iPad (and iPad mini), or iPod touch. But first, a few words about my introduction to Siri, what Siri is exactly, and a bit of history. As a longtime technology reviewer, I firmly believe Siri (pronounced SEAR-ree) is the start of something very special, and it was love at first sight — er, speech. Here I am, sitting in the crowd at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, on October 4, 2011. The exclusive press event is called “Let’s Talk iPhone,” and like many other journalists and analysts in theCOPYRIGHTED room, I was expecting Apple CEO MATERIAL Tim Cook to take the wraps off the iPhone 5. When the iPhone 4S was initially debuted, you could sense the ini- tial disappointment among the attendees — after all, there were so many rumors leading up to the event that it seemed inevitable that a dramatically new smartphone would be unveiled that day. But that letdown feeling completely vanished the moment Siri was introduced.

    Stargate | Oddity Central - Collecting Oddities http://www.odditycentral.com/tag/stargate Home About Advertise Contact Contribute Disclaimer Privacy policy Search for: Pics News Videos Travel Tech Animals Funny Foods Auto Art Events WTF Architecture Home Father And Son Build Awesome Backyard Stargate By Spooky onJune 16th, 2010 Category: Pics , Tech Comments Off Back in 2005, when Stargate was the coolest sci-fi series around, sg1archive user ‘mango’ teamed up with his father to build a sweet replica of the stargate . 2 The project began in AUTOCAD, where the first blueprints were drawn. Since they didn’t have access to a plotter, plans had to be printed on A4 paper and stuck together, in a circle. The small details of the gate had to Tweet be drawn up from scratch, using photos and video footage. The skeleton of the gate is made up of 18 X-shaped pieces, and the spinning part is made from small planks. 89 The intricate stargate symbols had to be painstakingly carved, from wood, and chevrons first had to be carved from Styrofoam. The back of the stargate, though painted in gray, is totally fake, but the front looks realistic enough, with chevrons locking and everything. Thanks to an inner track, it even spins. Mango wasn’t too satisfied with the paint-job, but all in all this is a geeky masterpiece, just like the Stargate Share home-cinema . Be sure to check the video Mango made, at the bottom of the post. ..
