I use Siri. I completely disagree with this article.

I have one data point to the contrary. This argument is invalid.

Indeed, I use it daily, especially when driving.

Phone is docked in front of me and connected to car stereo. I just activate her to do things most people are doing less safely like text messaging and looking at their phone for directions.

Siri like technology belongs in all cars, as we are not going to change our (awful/stupid) behavior of texting while driving.

You didn't understand the parent comment. Go, grab a cup of coffee, read it again and meditate about what it says for a little while.

And it won't if Apple's lawyers have any say in the matter.

Alexia's articles are so consistently pure garbage. Who cares what she thinks about Siri? How about some sources? Maybe some actual usage data? A satisfaction poll of users?

TechCrunch is a joke. Are there any journalistic tech news sites out there?

Except for the fact that Clippy popped up unwanted and Siri you have to ask for.
