Japan laughs at Apple

[Fritzo]

Siri - Apple's new voice command system on the iPhone 4s

Shiri - Japanese for "ass"

So, everyone have fun talking to their ass-phone feature.

It's still not even close. It's like saying:

Sit - To use a chair.

Shit - Poop

So, everyone have fun using their poop chair.

Gizmodo with an anti-Apple troll *shocked*

[ViviTheMage]

Siri != Shiri

 

[Broheim]

many americans use something called a waterpik, pik means dick in danish, Denmark is laughing at your America...

 

[Macamus Prime]

In NYC, they have something called Muni Meters for parking.

Now, muni is short for municipal. So, it should be pronounced 'm-you-nee', but most folks pronounce it 'm-ou-nee'; which is the Greek slang word for vagina.

 

[SP33Demon]

I laugh at Apple.

Unfortunately, the Japanese languages lacks an actual "si" character in Katakana (which is the character set used for foreign words).

As you can see using the following Katakana table from Wikipedia:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...ble_katakana.svg/768px-Table_katakana.svg.png

The only available character to use is "Shi", which means chances are it will have to be written in your standard ABCs or spelled "Shiri". I'm not 100% sure about pronunciation though, but if you've ever heard Japanese people say English words, you'll notice that they're pronounced slightly different given the Katakana "alphabet". Kind of like how McDonald's sounds like "Makkudonaru".

McDonald's actually sponsors a decent amount of anime, so I hear it often. :$

 

[Schfifty Five]

Fritzo is such a dumbass.

 

[Fritzo]

Siri != Shiri

It does if you have a lisp

 

[Schfifty Five]

Gizmodo with an anti-Apple troll *shocked*

It's funny how idiot apple fanboys think that Gizmodo is an anti-apple website because of the iPhone 4 prototype fiasco, when the reason Gizmodo bought the stolen prototype was because Gizmodo is one the tech blogosphere's most heavily pro-apple blogs out there.
