Looks like a picture of a sweet kid, and some smug person turned it into one of those tedious "meme" images for other smug people to put other people down with. Classy...What this kid said...

Cue all the complaints about the icon and how Steve is rolling in his grave...
So Siri is bloatware now?
I swear Apple could announce a zero bezel phone with 5 day battery life and people here would complain about it.![]()
As opposed to a billion iOS devices?For example, if 10 million Macs starting querying Siri, the data centres may become overloaded.
Doesn't need an icon either, has a dedicated keyboard key.Look at Launchpad
I agree with you, just it seems very possible that it will get a dock icon.Doesn't need an icon either, has a dedicated keyboard key.

I really don't care about BMW cars. Please focus on something else, for example the clothing line....
See how ridiculous this reasoning is? There are enough designers and developers within Apple for the company to focus on both at the same time (and they require differently skilled resources too). If your favorite app is not updated enough, than it is a conscious decision by Apple to do so rather than a lack of development resources.
It looks so, no doubt.I agree with you, just it seems very possible that it will get a dock icon.
On one hand it won't harm, but on the other it's redundant and a bit confusing conception. I believe that good software (Finder and OS X in this case) should teach user a bit for efficient ways of doing things, not dumb it down. So instead of clicking on icons which are not 'real' apps (and that may confuse some people) a user will learn how to access those and other Mac features in a different way, via menu, keyboard F keys, shortcuts, trackpad gestures, etc. But I won't get into the heated dispute over thisIt doesn't need a dedicated dock icon but there is no harm in having one for those who would use it. Even mission control has a dock icon available if you add it.

I think siri is going to sync across all your devices.I am thinking of what I use Siri for on my iOS devices and wondering how well they translate over to the mac.
For instance, I use Siri to make phone calls. Might work on a Mac as well thanks to continuity, but I rarely do so at home.
I use dictation on my iPhone but not on my Mac as it's simply easier to type out what I want.
I sometimes use Siri to set my alarms as well as turn them on / off. Can't see this being relevant on a Mac.
Any other suggestions?
Great companies do have to ship eventually.
Also, who is to say they didn't think it was ready each time?
In this case "eventually" seems to mean "lets ship it and hope we can fix the worst bugs before anyone notices" instead of "wait until we are confident it has no serious bugs".
Given the number of bugs in the first 10.10 and 10.11 versions I have hard time understanding how anyone at Apple thought they would ready for release. Obviously all bugs can't be found during testing but I have hard time believing that very common problems such as WIFI (fixed in 10.10.4), installer failure, OpenCL, USB (partially fixed in 10.11.5), Mail (fixed in 10.10.4 and 10.11.4), Spotlight (partially fixed in 10.11.5) were not found during testing.
Previously .3 update was usually reliable enough for production use but currently it seems its safer to wait until .5 is released if one values stability or sanity.
why would he be in a grave if he was alive?
There are two things that Mac OS X needs right now-- Siri integration, and a touchscreen for notebooks. Amazingly, Windows has the lead in both of these areas. And that just should not be....
Please don't let this be the main feature of the new OS X. Voice assistants are boring and don't understand more than half of the times what I'm saying. I don't think the technology is right there yet.
I agree… SurfacePro 4 is so much more than what a MacBook Pro can do. It it more versatile than an iPad Pro. I don't think Windows is as touch-friendly as it could be, but Apple is just not innovating anymore. They are only introducing "features" as tech updates, and nothing really new. I'm starting to be romanced by Microsoft's Windows 10 and touch screens, and Android N. And I've been an Apple diehard for 20 +years.There are two things that Mac OS X needs right now-- Siri integration, and a touchscreen for notebooks.

"Joe, take out the trash now."I guess if you live alone it doesn't matter but if you have family members in your house they may not want to participate in your "experience".
In other related news, it has come to light that cleaning - and generally taking care of - your smartphone and other belongings, has the general benefit of prolonging the items' functional lifetime, as well as keeping it closer to full function for longer, in comparison to treating it like a loaf of bread...
