When asked where to go for an abortion, Siri has been directing iPhoners to far-away, pro-life clinics. Does that make Apple's robot stupid, ill-informed or biased? For example, some are arguing she is pro-life because when asked where to get an abortion in the Washington, D.C. area, Siri directs the iPhone user to a pro-life family planning facility 26 miles away, rather than closer abortion clinics within the city. But maybe she isn't that accurate, or is getting confused by muddled Google search results. It turns out she doesn't know a lot of things. But, the abortion example is unique. Siri generally finds the closest most relevant searches and when she doesn't know an answer, she either fesses up or sends the user to Google. That's not how this abortion filter is working.

Can I shut off the intenet function on the iphone4? Even for periods that i know I will not need it, and then toggle it back on?
your data is connected to your cellular network ... unless you are pushing emails or getting some kind of update regularly - you aren't using it ... if you don't want anything pushed to your phone - just change your settings ...
Great, because from what I have gathered from our local carrier, they are not fully '3g' yet and my co-workers that have their iphone say the internet functions are painfully SLOW. They very seldom use the function, yet pay for the service assuming the carrier is almost up to speed.

might be time to root
doesn't rooting void your warranty?
I know if you jailbreak an iPhone it voids the warranty so I would assume the same with Android. However you could usually just restore an iPhone to original settings if something happens and I would assume the Android is the same way so I think it's a non factor.

wow. this is everything I hate... on a phone. I loathe government control. I dont need a phone logging in every little thing I do. Fuck that.
Call me a fanboy I dont care, but it said in the article, that steve jobs said "google phones log everything and iphones dont". well, he was right and thats the truth. Yet another thing he was right about.

The iOS is alot less intrusive and actually when I went to the Apple store to have my phone updated the guy there set my phone to diagnostics off for me. He pretty much told me the reason to turn that feature off was it really hurt battery performance. Personally I don't give a shit if someone reads my texts. I have nothing to hide...except that I love Mich Ultra and ketchup on my steak!
I'll fool around with my phone and see if I can find it. The guy turned mine off at the Apple Store so you could always go there. I believe it's default is off and a user has to "opt in" in order to actually have the feature on.

android told me to buy some Nokia.....so i did. :P
i try.
I had no idea that game was that big.
i think at one time they were talking movie or tv show or something...they are were/are really trying to grow it.
Well I guess PacMan became a franchsie so why not a game that's probably on every kid's device and a good majority of adults as well.
But then again your hearing that from someone who has an ipad and a mac, and the last 2 generations of iphones. So im 100% biased.

If that's true it"s kind of disturbing.
