Me: Siri, Merry Christmas!

Siri: Happy holiday

Me: I said Merry Christmas!

Siri: Happy Holiday

Talk about indoctrination.

Siri's acutally an Orthodox Jew, so she's being polite...

But that's not the half of it--Siri is a die-hard New England Yankee as well...Not a fan of Dixie or the Brits apparently.

Siri responded with "Happy Holiday" when I said, "Happy Holiday," "Merry Christmas", and "Happy Hanukkah."

But 'she' didn't understand "Happy Kwanzaa."

[she didn't understand "Happy Festivus" either ]

Did you know if you ask Siri where an abortion clinic is, she can't tell you where it is?

Yeah, real anti Christian. You people do nothing but complain. Just like the Muslims.

steve jobs was an interesting man.

On Jobs' thoughts about God and what happens when you die:

Jobs said, 'You know, I'm kind of 50/50 on believing in God. But I want to believe that something endures, that your wisdom that you accumulate, that the knowledge that you have somehow is able to endure after you die.'

"And then he pauses, and he says, 'Maybe that's just wishful thinking. Maybe that's just like an on-off switch.' And he goes, 'Click, you're off. You're gone. It's over.' And then he paused for a moment and he said, 'Maybe that's why I didn't like to put on-off switches on Apple devices.' (end)



it is a mystery to most of us, but, then again, most of us are hopeful.

i believe we have a conscience for a reason.
