Support NeoGAF

[eznark]

Yeah because an easy-to-use solution baked into the OS and fully supported by all parties is the same thing as some obscure piece of freeware you have to go find and figure out how to use.

Wasn't Plex in the top 20 for app revenue for a few months post release? I wouldn't call it obscure. (PS3MS totally obscure and janky though)

 

[LCfiner]

you couldn’t navigate within the siri screen before, could you? looks like this is new?

 

[woxel1]

Ooh, Open Table integration.

 

[Sanjuro]

Siri, show me the Red Sox and Celtics disabled list.

ERROR.

 

[UV-6]

The Verge live blog is amazing. Top marks.

I think there are advantages to AirPlay on Mac, but I don't think the HTPC aspect is it. A real HTPC setup will be better than AirPlay.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

a lot of devices use DLNA, basically the same thing as Air Play.

This implementation is 10x better than DLNA has proven to be.

 

[StrikerObi]

OpenTable. Good. And movie tickets.

 

[Enco]

So UK is getting shat on again I suppose.

 

[lunarworks]

What is this from?

I need to know.

 

[Mobius 1]

the map looks different...

NO MORE GOOGLES FOR U

 

[Talon]

Not for my purposes, no. And I don't think even this awesome new MacBook is powerful enough to replace a gaming PC so for gaming it doesn't really cut it either. (not sure if that is even possible)

It's definitely cool and slick as hell. Seems to have limited impact though.

Not for your purposes, but we're all very tech-savvy on this forum. Most of us probably ran XBMC at some point.

The simplicity of this solution for users already in the Apple ecosystem is why this should be a big deal. I mean, I feel like people were jizzing about airplay with iPad 2, but that hasn't come to fruition just yet.

 

[MThanded]

Siri so godlike.

 

[ChanHuk]

OpenTable integration? I want this now.

 

[The Elite]

Avengers. lol

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Siri taking names.

 

[mrklaw]

So what? It's a $2000 laptop. What are you going to be doing with that that a $1000 laptop won't be able to do? Don't answer that, I'm just saying, it's a very expensive laptop and only the magic of Apple will make people think it's somehow a bargain.

13" MBA is half the price and will be fine for most people. Smaller screen means decent dot pitch, and it's 1440x900 so the icons etc will be the same size anyway. Still think that's the best laptop in apples range

 

[Lkr]

Since so much of Siri is server side...do these questions work right now? Seems like no need to wait for iOS 6

tested, doesn't work

 

[Hoo-doo]

Does this mean that if I pay 20 bucks to upgrade to Mountain Lion on my MBA, I can also upgrade my mom's MBP that's still running Snow Leopard?

 

[mclaren777]

That was the first time I'd ever see Avengers footage.

 

[mrkgoo]

I'm using SMS only as iMessage doesn't work for me. Messages get lost, won't be sent or are sent with hours of delay. Restored iOS several times, nothing helped.

I,m not kidding when I say iMessage has changed my life.

I use it on Mac OS X so damned much and it works near flawlessly most of the time.

I know other chat program's are out there, but not having to log in is one step that makes ALL the difference. IDevices are SO prevalent now, I can just look people up and send them iMessages without ever asking if they have an account. I just DOOOOO.

 

[AstroNut325]

DAT INTEGRATION!

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Siri, show me the Red Sox and Celtics disabled list.

ERROR.

LOL

 

[jj984jj]

So now Flixster and Yelp are integrated? That's cool.

 

[outunderthestars]

Ooh, Open Table integration.

Won't matter. After buying a new macbook I'm going to be too poor to eat at anywhere that takes reservations.

 

[Phoenix]

The HAVE to have an API. Why the hell would they limit these integrations to these particular vendors.

 

[Enco]

LAUNCH APPS!!!!!!

GSFGSFHFH

 

[Windu]

FINALLY, app launching with voice. (way to be late to the party apple)

 

[Talon]

OpenTable integration? I want this now.

Functionality that was in Dragon Dictation before Apple bought it. I think you could even post to Twitter with it.

I'm sure it was a question of load that they've limited Siri.

 

[Noisepurge]

What is this from?

I need to know.

only the greatest tv-show on earth, Eagleheart

[snack]

That was the first time I'd ever see Avengers footage.

Do you live under a rock?

 

[pxleyes]

I can ask IMDB verbally now. Nice!

 

[Particle Physicist]

What movie is that from?

 

[Shard]

20 dollars. Microsoft, learn.

Yes because gutting one of the prime sources of revenue would be such a good idea for Microsoft.

 

[Tobor]

The HAVE to have an API. Why the hell would they limit these integrations to these particular vendors.

To keep Google out?

 

[Deleted member 17706]

and, again, you're divorcing the thought of being able to do that with the practicality/reality of how it's accomplished. unless Apple magically fixed wireless throughput and the performance of their (admittedly already great) real-time H264 encoding/streaming infrastructure, it's not as fluid or seamless an experience as you'd expect.

My only experience with AirPlay is between the iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV. It works amazingly well. I have no idea what the resolution increase will do to that, though.

 

[LCfiner]

 

[StrikerObi]

But is there a Siri API yet?

 

[Raitosaito]

Siri can launch apps? Apple redeemed

 

[vicissitudes]

Noooo where is my new iMac. Stop talking about Siri

 

[AstroNut325]

Launching apps with Siri! Yes.... this is elite class.

 

[Enco]

Give me cinema in the UK you bastards. Fuck you if not.

Eyes free?

 

[Lkr]

the on screen iPhone looks pretty big...

 

[cyberheater]

Now if I can ask Siri to play a movie and it plays on my mac which airdisplays a ATV connected to my TV. Now that would be something.

 

[Mobius 1]

10/10 for quickness.

 

[Victory Red]

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

As someone who loves Siri and uses it regularly, and with about a 99% accuracy, these updates are great for me. Can't wait to add more functionality.

 

[woxel1]

Won't matter. After buying a new macbook I'm going to be too poor to eat at anywhere that takes reservations.

Siri, what are the best roach coaches in my area?

 

[Keylime]

Turn by Turn navigation confirmed...that icon shows a trail.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

In the UK Siri is what I like to refer to as "a bag of wank".
