When I saw the headline my first reaction was: What? Unbelievable, this sounds too good to be true, but maybe the guys from RTM really found a way to do that.

When I saw the headline my first reaction was: What? Unbelievable, this sounds too good to be true, but maybe the guys from RTM really found a way to do that.
When I clicked on the link I realized it has not much to do with Siri and is just about synching other iPhone apps.
Last time I checked, there was nothing sticking up my ass, but I do come to HN because it is different from Lifehacker, BusinessInsider or HuffPo. Nevertheless I do have to admit that it is a brilliant marketing move. They even started a heated discussion on HN :-)
So to extend my comment from a hacker perspective I felt tricked.
From the perspective of an online marketer I have to admit it is a brilliant move.

- 16BitTons 15y agoThis is what I love about HN. A little heat to a discussion creates more insight instead of a flame war.
- mikeash 15y agoMaybe you just need to be more cynical. :) I saw the headline, thought, yeah, they figured out some way to connect it, and got pretty much what I expected.
