I’ve worked with computing equipment for the last 30 years and I’ve seen a lot of voice recognition programs crash and burn when presented with accented voices. I prefer that the machinery I work with not talk back to me.

Someone did do a rather fine rant, Cloudesley, if you can understand a Scottish accent.

Apple has, by last count, 90 gazillion dollars. Apple should try it. The chances of a jury verdict against them is (coincidentally) 90 gazillion to 1. This would send a message to lawyers who bring these claims. Settling them even for small amounts sends the wrong message.

Similar to the iPhone 4’s antenna class action lawsuit, which did indeed lead to a class settlement, despite the wild popularity of that phone.

Apple knows a product is a hit when the first class action lawsuit complaining about it is filed.

Everything is amazing and nobody’s happy. Somebody ought to do a rant about that!

Frank M. Fazio, who bought his 4S in Brooklyn in November, is part of purported class of people who feel suckered.

Does he really expect Siri to understand Brooklynese?
