Thankfully I showed Siri off early and everyone loved her!
But then I did show off a couple recently, and the network connection is down (here in PA). Very embarrassing!
However, I am a network guy and things do happen, especially with a big rollout. Very unfortunate this happened, but I hope others don't jump on it and make fun, because these things happen to everyone's system at some point or another. I'm sure the loose end will be tight up...and tied up VERY tightly, to prevent this from happening again!
Siri IS still in Beta, we should remember; I'm sure that still makes it no less easier for some of us!
