'Siri for Mac' Virtual Assistant Described in New Apple Patent Application

iSurface

The patten says touch screen? Are we talking Mac or iPad?

If Mac, that will be a change in direction...

VERY interesting....

It seems like a new iSurface product.

"Computer. Tea, Earl Grey, hot."

You would end up with a picture of a nude Englishmen drinking tea.
Though now I'm thinking about all the times it would have been hilarious if "Computer" made as many mistakes as Siri does. The crew would be dead a lot with the phrase "sorry I didn't get that"

On my mark Fire Phasers... FIRE PHASERS!

Both Jobs and Cook said they will never make a touch screen Mac because that is like combining a fridge with a toaster, the features don't mix.

This is why people hate Apple. I don't care if a company files for 1 million patents at long as each one makes it into a product, or at least offer reasonable licensing fees, but I have little respect for a company that weaponizes patents by using it as a tool to prevent competitive advantage without any inclination to implement the feature themselves. Apple only wants to prevent Google Now from being used on the growing number of PC laptops and hybrids with touch screen capabilities, Apple has no intent to bring touch to Mac, certainly not to support any new Siri like feature.

What's next, a patent to use Siri with a Stylus on an iPhone so they can block Samsung Note sales?

It's nice that Apple is agreeing to stop many of their patent lawsuits, but don't turn around an file more ******** protectionist patents, that is just like calling ceasefire while restocking your bombs.

Also if you are going to bring every feature of iOS to OS X and vice versa, just merge the OS code and get it over with, stop this little dance of suggesting that you can't mix mobile and desktop operating systems while trying to achieve feature parity on both.

"This is why people hate Apple." Then why in the world to you even come here?

Integration with Automator would be awesome!

Why does his team know him as Scott if his computer knows him as Jeff!?

Geeze. Even that patent interface drawing looks better than Yosemite.

Why.... Why do they come here just to whine?....

It gets him attention?

 

[taptic]

It gets him attention?

Yeah, but negative attention and by this time most of them know that's what they're probably going to get... Yet they do it anyway...

 

[Michael Goff]

Yeah, but negative attention and by this time most of them know that's what they're probably going to get... Yet they do it anyway...

Attention is attention, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.

 

[taptic]

Attention is attention, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.

Guess so... I'll have to remember not to feed the trolls in the future...

You have to think of trolls like you think of children.
