You are so missing the point it's hilarious. I'll post a few articles and I'll let you figure things out.

>You are so missing the point it's hilarious. I'm happy to provide humor. Cool links, bro. Nice how they all refer to the same old, stale data, but you list them so nicely in a list as if there's some obvious conclusion that is somehow relevant to this discussion. Siri's a gimmick and everyone knows it. I'm baffled by the attribution of some magic to it that is going to allow people to stop using Google. If anything, those ridiculous links would indicate that Google's not going anywhere, anytime. I want to know how Siri is going to do all of this magical nonsense when Apple hasn't done any of the work to make themselves available to the data necessary to do so. As I've mentioned basically from the beginning. Sigh. Oh and several of those are "total mobile revenue". We all know people buy through the App Store more.

  Siri, an app, a customized search box, etc. Apple changes the UI, Google's fucked. What is it you don't understand?

    You seriously think that UI is what is holding Siri back?

    Oh, just as I was randomly catching up on last week's news, I missed this new feature of Google Now: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/26/google-nows-new-tv-info-feature-is-pretty-awesome/ http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/26/google-nows-new-tv-info... So they're already implementing uPnP or some sort of MAC address identification to make a mental map of the devices and media devices in your home and can already make recommendations for your actions/tasks/behaviors based on that. Nuts, that code is in place, waiting to be leveraged in cool ways. Yeah, I'm sure Google's fucked. >What is it you don't understand? Actually, any of what that garbled mess was at the beginning of that reply? Custom app/searchbox, wtf does that even mean? The article actually goes out of it's way to talk about how Siri sucked when it was used as a standalone app. >_<

      I wasn't just talking about Siri.

        I wasn't just talking about Siri. Apple can customize the UI and the search results on iOS devices if they want. Apple can take Google's search results (without Google's ads) or Bing/Yahoo, format it, add information from Yelp, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, WolframAlpha, etc. Make this format the default "search results" and make it universally accessible from Siri, the browser, apps, and so on...

        And they can make gold coins shoot out their ass. >Apple can take Google's search results (without Google's ads) LOL. Why I bothered even reply to this comment is a mystery. Yeah, I'm sure they can just sprinkle in that stuff and it will magically be great right? Just like Maps blew our mind as soon as they finished that very last strategic partnership, right? BTW: Google already does all of those things. Kthanx
