Siri is down again!

how my supposed to blog while driving if Siri isn’t reliable. honestly, the most frustrating part is that the purple bullets that represent the processing of a voice command request just disappear and there’s nothing! no sorry I couldn’t make that work for you, no sorry I’m having trouble connecting to the network right now. nothing. I feel that Siri was far too popular and utilized for the piddly servers that Apple has devoted to the project. in my opinion Apple needs to do two things to resolve this problem. First, they need you reintroduce the voice commands that were available without the network like they have in the iPhone 4 and 3GS. Second, they need to provide more capacity to the Siri network. this way if they got the Siri equivalent of the fail whale, they’d at least be able to handle some of the audio processing that previous phones have been capable of.

Battery vs Hackery!

The battery problems fixed in apple’s latest iOS update (5.0.1) are a very strong temptation. However, I fear it may delay my inevitable jailbreak. I also imagine that this example of a delta update might even aid the dev team and others working to free our phones of tyranny. Ideally I would like to see a jailbreak able to download and patch the update before installing. Thus maintaining the jailbreak through the update. am I dreaming?
