Holy crap I literally can’t wait. Just so you know, I’m looking into something that used to exist for iPhones called Siri port. The iPhone 4 didn’t get Siri. With a jail break it did. But I distinctly remember Siri being accessible from a website on this server. If I can find it, I’ll link it, you foxbox it and we may have Siri for our powerpc’s....useless as that may be....

Probably down, I'll look if I can't code a simple assistant with API's maybe

Savior. No, hero. No, wizard. No, doctor. No, saviour-hero-wizard-doctor-man.

SourceSunTom is the savior-hero-doctor-wizard-man of the PowerPC community.

Good show, Tom.

Jolly good show.

Leopard Rebirth is truly becoming the ultimate Sierra theme.

(I reeaally need to learn XCode one of these days, I'd love to help out the community too...)

I actually just finished the LaunchPad, I'm starting to code the Siri clone,
When thats finished I'll maybe do a 1.3 update with those features ;)
[doublepost=1500980604][/doublepost]Looks so cool on my PB g4 :D

@Adamscomputerrepair, I've got an idea for Siri, I'll make it probably tomorrow :)
Siri. On a PPC Mac.

Tom, you're quickly making normal Leopard more obsolete than it should be. ;)

And I totally disagree with @Adamscomputerrepair here; this will be very useful!

That launchpad app looks so cool btw!

You're turning this into so much more than a theme; it's just like an OS update! App Store, blurred dock, Launchpad, Siri...

Listen, maybe asking for Siri is too much. The code itself isn’t there and I don’t think anyone can port the source code across processors.

Still, like Henry said, anything’s better than nothing right?

I typed it out (said in the video description) :)

Yeah ? I coded it lol
OK. I thought maybe you were hooking it up to one of those fake Siri servers. But then I realized it called you "LeopardRebirth user" lol. How long will this take? Once I coded a basic assistant in AppleScript and it took months.

Not trying to rush, just curious. :)

What a mind blowing thing to wake up to.

SourceSunTom is absolutely the savior-hero-doctor-wizard-GENIUS-man of the entire community.

I'll never get tired of saying that.

Tom, I intensely wish I could help you develop this so it's not all on your shoulders, and so that breakthrough features on LR are a little easier to achieve, but I have no coding skills. Is there any way at all to help? How hard is it to learn Xcode, or X11, or whatever you're using? I've got a gap in school at around August or September, maybe I'll have the time to do something then. :)
