Music

That's it. If was ever cool before, it's now officially deader than disco.

I also ask Siri what her interests are, who she be with Things to make her smile, what numbers to dial.

To be fair to Siri, "shut up" is an action someone does to him or herself, not to something else.

What Adele would sound like if she listened to more Wu-Tang.

We already know that Siri can rap, but its musical talents don't end there. In this video, Craig Knudsen shows how he hacked Siri to play the piano. His iPhone is stocked with MIDI song files which, when prompted by Siri, are sent wirelessly to a Yamaha Disklavier, a piano able to receive MIDI commands.

As a neat touch, when you say "If you can play it for her, you can play it for me. Play it again, Siri," Siri will play the iconic Casablanca piece "As Time Goes By," so you can have both hands free to drink your gin and moon over your bittersweet memories of that one time you were in Paris.

Storied psychedelic alt-rockers The Flaming Lips released their first song of 2012, and it makes clever use of Siri's vocals. Titled "Now I Understand," it turns Siri's "I don't understand" error reply into an existential quest for meaning that lies at the heart of the human condition. DEEP.

(It's actually pretty good, too.)

All this only months after someone taught Siri to rap. At this rate, she'll get signed to a major label.

On the bright side, cell phones are much safer to use than lighters during the obligatory power ballad. BUT DO THEY STILL ROCK.

In this version, Siri's much less patient with preening pre-teens.

(this version of Siri uses naughty language)
