Yet another moron has filed a class action suit against Apple over Siri and it’s apparent inability to work as advertised. For me, Siri works fine, and I wonder why people choose to sue rather than return a device that doesn’t work as expected. The new suit, filed in a U.S. District Court by a [...]
