"I've been waiting here since yesterday afternoon..."

For a telephone?

Idiot.

"They broke customers' hearts."

It's a telephone!

Idiot.

But are they any different to the sad cases outside Apple shops at midnight waiting for the release of their latest trinket?

^ Quite

And I believe Siri is localised for each country it's sold in. It's a man in the UK and a woman in the US for some socialogical (it's a word!) reason

Is that right? I want my Siri to be a woman's voice and am very disappointed that I can't change it.

I feel a little but angry. About the only thing it consistently gets right is setting an alarm and any background noise seems to bollox it completely.

Feel like doing them under the trades description act, or misrepresentation at least.
