Apple’s Broken Promise aka Siri aka The iPhone 4S’ Gimmicky Party App has a lot of problems and Apple is trying to fix them. There are two new job openings for iOS software engineers to work with Siri’s user interface team:
“We are looking for an engineer to join the team that implements the UI for Siri. You will primarily be responsible for implementing the conversation view and its many different actions. This includes defining a system that enables a dialog to appear intuitive, a task that involves many subtle UI behaviors in a dynamic, complex system. You will have several clients of your code, so the ability to formulate and support a clear API is needed.”
It’s good to know that they are actively searching to fix Siri. It’s still not good that they released this incomplete piece of software as a major feature in a final product, even with the “Beta” tag. [Apple and Apple via 9to5Mac]

You mean it doesn’t just work?
I’m sure whatever changes they implement you’ll jump up and down on them anyway so what’s the point!?
Yeah, at least bring the location aware services to the UK; I need to know how to get from Picadilly Circus to the nearest Starbucks, or HMV, or McDonalds (oh wait, I can see that from here anway)…
OK.
We get it.
You don’t like Apple because of the whole iPhone 4 prototype – Jason Chen search warrant – banned from all Apple events thing.
These apple-bashing articles are getting ludicrous.
Can’t we all just get along?
I’m pretty sure JD was bumming Siri when it came out. But maybe that was someone else from Giz US and my memory is not what it used to be.
