Siri, why Don’t You Understand Me? [Infographic]

Apple’s Siri (Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface) was launched in October of 2011 as an integral—and heavily advertised—part of iOS 5, the operating system for the iPhone 4S. Six months later, many users are blown away by Siri’s functionality, but not everyone is satisfied. Some users are asking, “Siri, how useful are you really?”

The iPhone Boom Mic

We all know how great the iPhone 4S is at recording video content. Some have shot amazing videos which you would think have been done with professional cameras. But the biggest problem with any phone is the mic, they’re not made for high quality sound recording. Photojojo has a solution for you: the iPhone Boom Mic.

The mic attaches to the headphone jack and adjusts to hold the back of your phone, even over a case! It is super lightweight, so it won't throw off the balance of your phone as you record.

Shooting your friend's show? Use the directional setting to capture all of the sound coming from the stage. When you're interviewing the band afterward, switch to the super-directional setting for more precisely focused recording. The mic works through the LiveAction app, which also lets you upload your videos instantly.

Psycho Siri

We’ve seen many parodies involving Siri, the personal assistant that comes with Apple’s iPhone 4S. But rarely do you see one with special effects. Two brothers, Andrew and Nathan McMurry of andrewmfilms, have created Psycho Siri, a short horror film about an iPhone gone bad. An abandoned iPhone turns out to be a killer of a deal.
