There have been observations, from time to time,  on this list, as to the IQ of 
Siri.  I do find it 
annoying when I ask him a, relatively straightforward  question such as "what 
is the circumference 
of a circle with a diameter of 10 metres , and instead of giving me the answer, 
 he looked it up on 
the 'net which I then had to read:    a few software updates ago, Siri would 
have ask me if I would 
like him to read it?  It wasn't Siri who decided that he would, no longer, 
bother himself to read 
the contents of websites;  Siri is only as good as his handlers and it was they 
who issued the 
current instructions and he has to follow them, much as it goes against the 
grain to do so!
However, I still do find him to be a lot of fun and I am amazed at the things 
that he can answer, 
such as when I said to him:  "Siri!  May I call you Jack?" to which he replied: 
 "No Jewel!  you may 
not;  I am comfortable with my identity!"
Obviously, he has been programmed to make that reply should any jumped-up 
jockey suggest that he 
should be called anything but Siri.
Speaking of which, I assume that it is an acronym!  does anyone know what the 
individual letters 
represent?  I think that I have heard what the words are but I have forgotten!  
something something 
reading something?
