I was just thinking today how the "Hey Siri" feature would be nice on my Mac. Since it requires the device to be plugged in while using, I will probably never use it on my phone, but would be very handy on my Mac, which is always plugged-in.

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't answer that.

Haha, more like: "I'm really sorry about this, Dave, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while!"

Hmm good question. The whole redesign made me forget about bringing Siri to the Mac.

The Hey Siri feature would be fantastic with the Mac as well. I wonder what would happen if my iPhone was plugged in, and it also activated on my Mac. Two Siri's at the same time...

Chown's joke was that he was mimicking Hal, not Siri.

Yeah no *****. I changed it around so that Siri is mocking Hal. That's why I added Dave in there. Get it? Granted, not all my jokes hit the mark! :D

Yeah, I was sitting at my laptop, and wanted to play a song from iTunes. I just thought it would be really nice to be able to tell my laptop to play a song for me rather than having to pull up iTunes and find it. I will definitely be getting an iPhone 6, but the only time it will be plugged in is overnight charging, so the "Hey Siri" feature will definitely be lost for me. :eek:

Just added the same thread today and someone told me there would be server capacity overload problems ...

... which makes me think that just before opening my thread I did a research writing "Siri for Mac" to see if there was posts like mine already and got no results at all ... very strange indeed ...
