Siri for Mac’s Colorful Waveform Dock Icon Revealed Ahead of OS X 10.12 Unveiling

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.

My work laptop has a touchscreen. I have never intentionally use it. Sometimes I accidentally use it and screw stuff up as a result.
I also never use the voice assistant. I have that disabled entirely.
So... no. Neither of those are things that seem even slightly interesting to me. Apple needs to give us better hardware. The software has been pretty perfect for a long time on OS X.
The mouse cursor getting bigger when you shake it is the only thing Apple did that was really useful in the last ~5 years, I think. The revamped UI was nice, but unnecessary.
Nice Icon but I don't think it is even necessary to have a dock icon. Why not just keep it in the Menu Bar.

He Siri, Hij Siri, Hi Serie, ...damnit...
HEY... Siri
I have nice suggestion for Apple to improve OS X. The ability to reorder and maintain your 3rd party menubar items and positions in your menubar without the use of 3rd party software. What about a copy/paste history clip manager between OS X and iOS.

Hello 2016!
I think the "siri" menu bar button will change, I don't mind it though. The dock icon is amazing.
I just hope that Siri will work on my mid 2015 macbook pro

Of course he would. Anyone would if they were buried alive.
@MacRumors can you start preparing to hide some of these actual leaks. WWDC is approaching and I dont want to see these spoilers 3 weeks before the event.

True, because we wouldn't want the servers being pinged by 1 billion iOS devices to process data for an additional 10 million Macs?
It's just the thing to do on MacRumors nowadays.
I for one like the icon and can't wait for Siri on Mac. Just don't make me buy a new Mac for "Hey Siri"
We've had Siri since 2011, this is a clear indicator that they're running out of ideas. Better late than never I guess...
What??? Have they been sitting on their asses for the past year? WWDC is only less than two months away!

Yeah, I don't get it. It's not like iOS has a Siri "app." Well, at least you can get rid of it.
In my opinion Siri is the peace of software that has been neglected the most. I really don't see, that it has evolved much in the years, since its introduction. And there are a lot of things, that it still just does not understand, drives me nuts.
You would think that voice commands and recognition would be a top r&d field for Apple. It better gets a big time overhaul in iOS 10 and the next MacOS.

Screaming consumes more oxygen. Given that he is alive in a grave, I would expect him to use his final few breaths wisely. He may also potentially have a protoype iPhone with him and could scream:
"Hey Siri, Call Tim Cook"
Could care less about siri on Mac. Will it improve my productivity? I think not. Happy to be proven wrong though
