About a year or two ago i had an idea I called function which revolutionized search. Just today on macrumors that Siri has a new app that is EXACTLY my idea. I knew someone else had to be thinking the same thing. I think I might go find the first time I posted my idea here awhile ago.
 
I've had Siri for months. Engadget wrote about Siri for the first time almost a year ago (perhaps this seeded your little brainstorm session? ;))
 
I had not of ever heard of siri until today probably because i now days do not stay very up to date with good apps
 
Siri was founded in 2007. Even if you had your idea a year ago, they still were way ahead of you in implementation.

(and the article isn't just about the app, Apple bought the company)

Here's your post from Sept 3, 2008:

Looks like they stole your idea, I would sue! :p

Dude I'm sure everyone on this forum has great ideas all the time but only a small portion actually go out and implement it!

Big difference between an idea and implementation.
 
Just a hint...next time you have an idea like that, don't post it on an open Internet forum. Share it with an investor! Someone that will enable it's deveopment and help you get rich! :D
