Apple Wanted Siri to Have a “Light Attitude”

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 02:00 PM PDT

A recent report by the Wall Street Journal focuses on Norman Winarsky, one of the co-founders of Siri. According to Winarsky, Siri came from an artificial intelligence project at SRI, a R&D group.

Apple Wants Me to Use Yahoo on iOS 5?

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 12:00 PM PDT

Something really unexpected happened yesterday. I was doing a Google search on my new iPhone 4S when a popup appeared asking me if I’d like to change my search engine to Yahoo!

Needless to say, I was really confused. Is Google telling me that it’s too good for me and I should switch to Yahoo? Or is Apple trying to tell me something?(...)

iPhone 4 vs iPhone 4S: Speaker Volume [Video]

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 10:00 AM PDT

After our initial use, we had a sneaking suspicion that Apple pumped up the volume on the iPhone 4S, so we figured that it would only be right to perform a test.

I happily headed over to iDB labs (my office) and put together a test that was as accurate as I could possibly pull off.

The results? Well, they speak for themselves. The iPhone 4S’s speaker is much louder than the iPhone 4′s, and this video proves that without a doubt…(...)

AllMail Brings Better Mail Management to iOS 5

Posted: 16 Oct 2011 07:00 AM PDT

If you purchased Delete Mail or Mark Read for your iDevice, you may have noticed that neither extension is compatible yet with the new Mail app in iOS 5. The iOS 5 update brings new mail management features to your device, but "Select All" is nowhere to be found.

Many of us with large email inboxes are very wary of manually selection multiple emails to apply Mail actions. Simply put, it is very disappointing that neither Mark Read or DeleteMail have received iOS 5 updates yet.

Thankfully, a new jailbreak tweak has been released to solve your massive message management woes. Most of Cydia’s recent activity has been centered on compatibility updates, but some game-changing newcomers have been appearing in the updates. Enter AllMail…(...)
