Siri: Helpful personal assistant or SERIAL APP KILLER?

Siri can be useful for somethings, my most frequent use is to turn all the alarms I've set off. Say 'disable all alarms' to Siri and it will turn off every alarm set in the clock app. Great timesaver!

'Bogus IT guys' slurp £1.3m from Barclays: Cybercops cuff 8 blokes

'Lion' Apple Mac OS X 10.7: Sneak Preview

@Sir Wiggum You have a choice

When you click Shutdown/Restart the normal 'Are you sure you want to Shutdown, if you don't do anything for a minute I'll shutdown on my own' dialoge box pops up but there's a new option (ticked by default) that says 'Reopen windows when logging back in'. It works very well!

Apple's 3G iPhone to launch 11 July

Wow

Even people who don't approve of apple smugness (myself included), have to be impressed at the iPhone 3G, I think it looks good enough to replace my trusty Vario III.
