hey Siri! what song is this?

i've been driving her crazy lately.

i think that is one of the coolest features of Siri. some great song comes on, and you want to know the artist..boom,,she is the answer girl!

i like how she says, "hmm..let me listen for awhile.."

then she chimes in.."if i am not mistaken, that is Imagine Dragons singing...."

what else have you asked her..? serious stuff.

I user her to text a message by just dictation. Just tell her to send a message to a person in the contact list, she will ask what you want to send. Say it out, she will say it back and say send it. That is real handy if you are unsure about the spelling of something!

I have asked her volume calculations when we are cooking or even mixing weed killer (using different utensils!) like how many table spoons is 4 fluid ounces or the weight of a fluid.

Ask for the nearest whore sometime when you’re in Vegas. It’s hilarious. Usually only a few bar stools away.

Welcome to 2000 (Shazam app) apparently the soundhound app is newer & better.

If you like these devices cool, whatever floats your boat.

But seems like to me anything these devices do can be done with a cell phone.

YMMV

My friend had never heard of Siri and wanted a demo. We were snowmobiling in Utah.

I asked Siri: "Find me a Mormon Tittie Bar"

Try it for yourself.........

Siri make me laugh...

What is the best way to find out how heavy your red hot chili pepper is?

Give it a weigh, give it a weigh Give it a weigh now.

Tell Siri "I see a little silhouetto of a man"

I have her dial calls, set map routes, text messages.

Once asked her to call my wife, I had my wife in contacts twice, so Siri asked "Which wife should I call?" ..... LMFAO

It's even easier than that.

"Tell Bob, meet me at the bar at 5." and assuming you have a buddy named bob, it'll queue up "meet me at the bar at 5". My wife does it like you do, but I like to skip a step.

Yeah, I've been using shazam for years. I don't use it often, but occasionally. It's even worked for me in noisy restaurants with music playing from the ceiling. But it probably is slower than asking siri. You've got to launch the app, wait for it to load, then hit the "button."
