Siri may challenge for Mod of the year when all is said and done.

[DJ Q]

Well I use Siri for taking quick notes

Even with the phone locked, just say "Take a note" and then call out what you want the note to say.
it saves it as text in the notes app so it is searchable after.
Are scribbles searchable?

And I can take notes in the car while driving without having to even look at the phone.

so if the phone is in your pocket how loud would one have to say that to record random stupidness on your phone?

Are you serious?

U.S. Mac Sales Grow 28.5% in Holiday Quarter, PC Market Suffers Worst Decline Eve

Apple saw its U.S. PC marketshare rise from 9.9 percent to 13.7 percent in the holiday quarter year-over-year, according to data just released from Gartner. The 28.5 percent rise shows a substantial increase in Mac sales, largely at the expense of HP and Toshiba.

Dell and Lenovo are the only other PC firms who saw significant rises in marketshare in the quarter.

In the U.S., PC shipments totaled 15.8 million units in the fourth quarter of 2013, a 7.5 percent decline from the fourth quarter of 2012 (see Table 2). Despite a 10.3 percent decline in shipments, HP continued to be the No. 1 vendor in the U.S., as it accounted for 26.5 percent of shipments.

"Holiday sales of technology products were strong in the U.S. market, but consumer spending during the holidays did not come back to PCs as tablets were one of the hottest holiday items," said Ms. Kitagawa. "We think that the U.S. PC market has bottomed out. A variety of new form factors, such as hybrid notebooks, drew holiday shoppers' attention, but the market size was very small at the time. Lowering the price point of thin and light products started encouraging the PC replacement and potentially some PC growth in 2014."

The U.S. PC market fared slightly worse than the global market, dropping 7.5 percent in unit sales, from 17.07 million units last year to 15.8 million units this year. Continuing a trend from the last several quarters, tablets have continued to eat into PC sales and though hybrid tablet-notebooks have appealed to some shoppers, the market size for those devices remains very small. As a result of the demand for tablets, the overall PC market saw its worst unit decline in history.

It's important to note that this data is preliminary -- last year, Gartner revised its preliminary Apple numbers from 12.3% down to 9.9%, likely because last year the newly introduced iMac was in extremely short supply.

Apple's US PC marketshare has seen consistent growth over the past seven years, rising from just under 5 percent to the current 13.7 percent.

my car stereo has bluetooth.

it will also work with a headset, wired or wireless.

BTW it is not a recording. It is not a voice note. It is dictation, so it gets written out as text and notes are shared in the notes section of your email account so it is available instantly on your desktop or laptop.

it doesnt only work for notes. I can say "remind me to buy bread" right after talking to my wife and it will add a reminder with the text in your TO DO list. You can even add a time: "remind me to buy bread at 5pm", or a place: "remind me to buy bread when I leave work" and the GPS will check your location when you leave work and give you the text reminder.

This iPhone Case Doubles As A Stun Gun And Packs A 650,000-Volt Punch

At first glance, the Yellow Jacket could be just another beefed-up, ultra-protective iPhone case.


But it does far more than safeguard your smartphone from drops or spills: It can protect you from physical attacks.
Inside the Yellow Jacket case is a 650,000-volt stun gun that you can activate by pressing a button on the side of the case.

How much does 650K shock hurt?
Well, a lot.

A 5-second or longer taze could bring a grown man to his knees, though Yellow Jacket says that the case won't cause any lasting damage (just the perfect opportunity to flee if you feel like you're in danger).

Wanna see what it looks like in action?
The Yellow Jacket case transforms from this:

ImageUploadedByTriniTuner1389891858.643439.jpg

To this, when activated:

ImageUploadedByTriniTuner1389891883.560852.jpg

Ye-owch.

You might not even have to actually stun someone to get him or her to back off, though. Part of the fear-factor of the Yellow Jacket is its sharp, intimidating buzz and the bright blue light it emits. While walking through the CES showroom floor, where we spotted the Yellow Jacket, I was stunned by the ferocious thrumming I heard coming from the company's booth.

Luckily, though, the company makes it difficult to accidentally stun yourself through the seat of your pants. Before the activation switch works, you need to flip off the cover on the metal prongs and flip the safety switch. Quick and easy enough when you're feeling threatened, but unlikely to happen by mistake.

Another neat feature of the Yellow Jacket: The case doubles the charge of your phone and will keep 10% reserve battery for emergencies — meaning you can use the stun gun feature on the case even when it's otherwise "dead."

The company currently sells cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S for $99, with iPhone 5/5S and Samsung Galaxy cases on the way for the spring.

Super interested in getting this. If only stun guns were legal down here in Trinidad.

But then again, what to stop someone from bringing in one through their luggage just to protect themselves from criminals.

Wonder what would happen if I forgot my phone with that case in my swimming trunks and dived into a pool near people .
