Not So Law-Abiding
We'll be waiting for the day when Siri is accused of being an accessory to murder. It will happen. But she's going to be a very uncooperative witness on the stand.
14:
Who Doesn't?
Siri has a number of varied responses to this phrase. Some other favorites of ours: "All you need is love. And your iPhone." and "I hope you don't say that to those other mobile phones."
13:
Puntastic
Again, Siri will actually give you a number of hilarious answers to this command. Another favorite of ours: "The carpet needs vacuuming."
12:
The Subordinate
She may be a bit of a smartalecky device at times, but at least Siri does seem to know who's in charge.
11:
The Jokester
Siri can perform an extremely dry, robotic version of Abbott and Costello's famous comedy routine. Next, she'll be telling us What's on second base.

The Siren Sings
If you ask Siri to sing you a song, she may "sing" a line from "Daisy Bell." It was the first song ever sung by a computer—the IBM 7094 in 1961—and was sung by the ficitional HAL 9000 computer in "2001: A Space Odyssey."

Here's the short, sale-suggesting answer to the same question that John Malkovich recently posed to Siri in the new iPhone ad campaign. Of course there's an app for that.

We've Come So Far
With the many advances in technology, some might argue that having all the answers to the world's questions at your fingertips is a little depressing. Years ago, friends might have had a fun and silly debate about this question. Not anymore.
7:
A Great Storyteller
If you ask Siri to tell you a story, she may be reluctant at first, but eventually, she will spill her guts about how she came to be.
6:
Not So Humble
Despite all the wonderful characteristics that were programmed into the iPhone, apparently someone forgot to add humility.
5:
Oops!
BUT...Ask Siri the same question but with the word "ever," and you may get a very different response. While the people at Nokia are cheering, someone is packing up their desk at Apple.
4:
That's Very Specific
She does look pretty sleek. Now if only that aluminosilicate glass were a little more shatter resistant, we wouldn't be replacing Siri every six months.
3:
Can't Take a Compliment
Here, Siri plays the cliche role of the coy and flirtatious secretary. She really has a knack for making you feel like a jerk sometimes.
2:
Thoughts on the Competition
Sometimes you really have to hound Siri to get the answer you want. Here, she eventually reveals her true thoughts about Androids.

That's Not Even Legal
Poor, Joshua. We really feel for the guy—everyone knows that no one reads those licensing agreements anyway.
