The headline would be fine in a magazine article or a tech-light site like Lifehacker.

But, because of Siri's architecture, telling a forum of hackers that you've "taught it" to do something is a wildly different thing.

Hackers click that headline because they're interested in the possibility space where you can integrate arbitrary third party apps.

And when they discover that your headline is a semantic game --that the implicit promise of the headline is a lie-- I don't know how you could expect anything other than complaints.



I upvoted because I completely agree.

But then I thought about it, and isn't this also an example of a hack in it's purest sense?
