Siri Celebrates 'Back to the Future' Day With Humorous Responses

Why? What's wrong with people having a little fun. The world has become quite miserable lately. An occasional laugh is OK with me. Join us and have some fun. Give up cynicism for just a day.

I fear your good humour will have no effect on him. I could be wrong; I normally am. But it seems like humour will always offend someone somewhere. There's just no winning. Best thing is probably to retreat from saying anything at all, lest it get taken the wrong way. Trying to get through to some people is like getting blood from a stone. I shouldn't blame others; it's probably due to my feeble efforts. When one's dug a hole, it's best to stop digging, advice I continually fail to take.

One of these eh? Who says they aren't? "My device isn't working exactly perfect and now I think Apple is wasting time".

Here's the truth everyone needs to acknowledge: every OS WILL have issues. That is a 100 percent true fact and will never change. Just accept it.

Apple has honored "Back to the Future" day by updating Siri with at least ten humorous responses related to the popular movie Back to the Future II, released in 1989. iPhone and iPad users can invoke Siri and say "happy Back to the Future day" to receive one of the responses below at random.

Today is "Back to the Future" day because October 21, 2015 is the date that Marty McFly and Dr. Emmett Brown travel to in the movie. The classic film makes several fictional predictions about the future, including hoverboards, flying cars, remote-control dog walkers and the Chicago Cubs winning the 2015 World Series.

Apple has updated Siri with humorous responses in the past for its September 9, 2015 event, WWDC 2014, "Okay Glass" and more.

With that antique computer thing I actually noticed it for the first time today and went "hey that's an original Mac!! Hahaha" amazing stuff!
 
Cute! Now, give me directions to my next appointment, Siri! Oh wait...

It just baffles me how stupid Siri has become. It seemed that she was fully context aware when she was released, but it seems to be going downhill. Or maybe my expectations have evolved, and Siri hasn't.
- direction to the next appointment. Forget it.
- change the content of an iMessage after she misheard you. No way
- adding a reminder for a photo you took of something you want to buy or do. Can't do that.
- understanding names for my contacts. Still a huge issue.

For me, in 5 years she still hasn't become any more useful than setting my alarm clock. And she had so much potential.

Everything you need to know about the movie. :D:cool:

"Great Scott!" -- Doc

"Last night, Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out, that he'd melt my brain." -- George McFly

"Wait a minute. Wait a minute Doc, uh, are you telling me you built a time machine ... out of a DeLorean?" -- Marty McFly

"The way I see it, if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?" -- Doc

"What the hell is a gigawatt?" -- Marty McFly

"Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?" -- Biff Tannen

"Whoa, this is heavy." -- Marty McFly

"There's that word again: 'heavy.' Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?" -- Doc

"I'm your density. I mean, your destiny." -- George McFly

"I've never seen purple underwear before." -- Lorraine Baines

"Where are my pants?" -- Marty McFly

"Over there, on my hope chest." -- Lorraine Baines

"I'm sure that in 1985 plutonium is available at every corner drugstore, but in 1955 it's a little hard to come by." -- Doc

"Then tell me, future boy, who's President of the United States in 1985?" -- Doc

"Ronald Reagan." -- Marty McFly

"Ronald Reagan? The actor? Then who's vice president? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady." -- Doc

"Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.

I wonder if i can time travel to next week to see what my future holds ....

Apart from the movie, some of it we have in reality, but most of it we don't..

In the movie there were flying cars, we don't have that yet... There, I just saved u 1 and a half hours of watching :p
 
You have two options:
  1. You get an actual hoverboard for a year, but can't use your iPhone (or any smartphone) for a year. No, you can't sell or rent the hoverboard to make money, nor disassemble it to make copies.
  2. You keep your iPhone but don't get a hoverboard
What do you do?

Can you still use a regular (feature/dumb) mobile phone?
 
By a geeky-wonderful coincidence, at 4:29pm (Hill Valley, California time) I will be on a plane flying east. Since I'll be advancing through several time zones, I'll be going into the future at the Back to The Future minute!!

People still use Siri? it's broken Fad tech at best, at worst it gives me map directions to a Denny's that closed in 1974

Sigh. Yes, once again. "People" use Siri. And it works quite well for "people." It gives "people" directions pretty much flawlessly, gives "people" sports scores, provides weather for "people," plays music for "people," sets timers and alarms for "people," makes dinner reservations for "people" quite efficiently, easily creates calendar entries for "people," sends text messages for "people" and a myriad of other things that "people" need. Hi, my name is "people."
 
It's great that they're spending development effort getting Siri to provide humorous responses. I wonder how much value they'd add to Siri if they spent half as much time getting Siri to provide a better-than-frustrating user experience. Every time I've tried to use Siri I've left the experience feeling frustrated.
