Dope Sheit: Siri Virtual Assistant App



It’s been over six months since I first heard of Siri, the DARPA-inspired smartphone app that pledged to take all the hassle out of… well… just living your busy life. It’s a virtual assistant that can take care of menial tasks, things like finding restaurants, hearing reviews, and even booking tables — all with your voice. Siri asks simple questions and reacts to your answers, and while it seems to have lost some of its military feel since its DARPA beginings, it’s a great companion to your happening lifestyle. And did I mention, it’s free! I like free. Check out the demonstration video and hit up the App Store to do your downloading. If you’re on some other smartphone platform besides the iPhone you’ll have to wait, it’s iPhone only for now. With all the DARPA geeks working on this, can your very own Cylon assistant be far off? By your command.
