actually the man doesn't have a point. Apple points out that it is an advertisement. It is advertising itself in this case. So I think this lawsuit, like most of the ones Apple starts, is frivilous.

Ahh fair shout - I'd never go near an iPhone so I've never noticed it say it's an advertisement, out of interest, where does Apple mention that on Siri's interface?

Cause if it's not on Siri's interface then it is still somewhat misleading as no-ones gonna check the internet to see if it is indeed advertising their own product..

I think you're missing the point. Siri is supposed to get you answers to your questions, not be an advertising tool in and of itself. This could be a serious lawsuit. Doesn't surprise me knowing Apple though, greediest company on the planet to tty and advertise in an app made to give you factual answers. iFAIL yet again.

no, we just can not trust Apple's Siri
telling what Apple wants not what the search engine is designed for ;)

Fantastic assessment. They really are. Once people see just how well Google Now works, should start jumping ship much more.

You're the perfect example of an ifan, pathetic, only talks out of your butt, no facts, better yet apple is no longer considered innovation, especially when the smartphone industry is moving to more ram in phones, ie the galaxy s3, galaxy note, lg optimus, all of them quad core with 2 gigs of ram, fyi no I'm not an Android fan, I found love with MeeGo

We all know every marketer wants to sell...but seriously Google is more better and truthful than Apple...nd google tends to prove to people why they are better

Ummm no, I just Googled "best search engine" and no ads for anything Google in the first page of results even using Google Chrome! Wake up!

Gal, Google actually, honestly, reveals the truth when asked - Siri checks with APPLE first to make sure that she allowed to give the real answer and if APPLE tells SIRI, 'no', then SIRI gives you a different answer. You need to wake up and realize that APPLE is really a sick and evil company that has suckered its customers.

I don't think you've ever googled anything if your comparing google to apple. Ask siri whats the best internet browser and get a JB running device an ask google now the same thing. umm yeah siri safari and google now comparison charts of browsers
