ok so iPhone 4S was released and Apple's share price took an immediate 4% dive. Finance theories would say the new product fell short of investor expectations. 4S was an improvement over the previous iPhone, but apparently not transformative and "ground-breaking" enough.
One thing is innovative though. Siri, the iPhone's residential AI, will respond to voice commands and even help you do stuff on your phone.
A funny theory circulating on the web right now:
Quoting two paragraphs from this article
"If you're wondering, 'Siri' can be pronounced two ways: 'Skynet' and 'GLaDOS," wrote Twitter user @AshleyEsqueda.
Apple Vice-President Forstall asked SIri: "Who are you?". Siri's answer? "I am a humble personal assistant."
What if SIri is actually smarter than we think? no wonder Siri was trending on Twitter. Powerful AIs bent on global domination always start off humble and harmless (as seen in movies).
As an Android user, it would be cool to have an Android AI as well! The phones are all "droids" afterall lol
Will you buy an iPhone 4S? Because of the better camera/processor etc or because of Siri's cool factor? Also, do you have any more funny theories on Siri? Put it in the comments section below!

I would be reluctant to ditch android as I think iphone is too common already. However, I am willing to ditch the android for iphone as my current SGS2 battery life is 12-14hours with 3G and slightly below moderate use of FB/Whatsapp/Check & send emails. Few sms or calls.
S2 processor is good though!
