In
the Heights area of Houston is a restaurant with the
not-very-innovative name "Asia Café". Ask for it by name while within a mile of it, and Siri
says "I can't find things in Asia. Can you be more specific?"
If
you get more specific by explaining that you are looking for a
restaurant called Asia Café, it tells you about a Jade
something-or-another, which is an Asian restaurant.
Ask Siri how to get to the intersection of I-10 and Bingle, and she says, "Got it." But Siri doesn't get it. And as Steve Jobs once said of Microsoft's lack of taste ... I mean that in a really big way:
(The actual spoken words were, "How do I get to I-10 and Bingle?" It's an intersection big enough that Interstate 10 passes overhead on a bridge, and there are marked exits for it in each direction. It's not some unheard-of stealth destination chosen for confusion.)
