This is great. Well done Siri.

Boy, people just need to get over these movies.

It's a cutesy way Apple amuses kids and the easily entertained. They control a lot of purse strings in the USA. Apple never misses an opportunity.

Saw a few tweets about people that have never seen these films. I just assume they are under the age of five as that can be the only explanation.

If you ever do, give the third episode of Supernatural's fourth season a rewatch. There are a couple scenes with shots lifted directly from Back to the Future.

Your timing is apt!

I'm just finishing the third season for the third time, so will reach the fourth shortly. I’ll look out for it! Love Supernatural. Have only watched the first seven series, so look forward to the next three. One of the best TV series I've ever watched.

Can you still use a regular (feature/dumb) mobile phone?

Sure, but you can't access the web and you must use T9.

Many of those has basics web (WAP) access at least.

My challenge is basically give up the mobile web and convenience it affords (instant access to combined human knowledge, virtually unlimited entertainment, etc) or get a hover board. Which future is better? Although flying cars are pretty sweet—they didn't seem to be computer guided which sounds like a disaster.

Personally I prefer our future. I don't want to wave my arms around to play Halo 5 (Kinect games are mostly for kids, unlike the film's prediction), newspapers seemed to still be a prominent thing, we're actually making moves towards healthier and more appealing foods than the processed dehydrated stuff in the films, and the Cubs did not win the world series (sorry, I have to say that one since many of my friends and coworkers are Cardinals fans), and it didn't seem like they had much of an internet. Although in our reality, rich old Biff is essentially running for president right now and has shockingly high poll numbers. Ok, maybe theirs is better after all, lol.

I have some sympathy with both sides of this but I would be sad to see iOs devices becoming the preferred choice of terrorists.

Huh..... wrong thread?.....
