[0] 13 [Name] Not Another Mac Podcast - Episode 151 (The Siri.Fail Experiment) [Released] 2/15/2015 [Price] Free [5] View In iTunes [Description] 
On this episode of Not Another Mac Podcast, Mark is joined by Peter Bird and Scott Willsey to discuss everything from iOS workflows to Siri.fail, a new domain that was registered as we recorded. We asked Siri to find it, but you will just have to listen to find out how Siri performed. This episode also features the World's Shortest Reviewcast by John Nemerovski. John reviews the Cord Cruncher, a tangle free solution for charging and data synchronization. John also reviews Audio Hijack 3. More information regarding discussed topics: iOS Productivity: Scott and Kevin Allder suggest, via Twitter, that Mark should look at the iPad again. Scott certainly feels iOS 8 is more productive than previous incarnations and Mark downloads Workflow: Powerful Automation Made Simple, on the show, as Scott details the ease at how to compile workflows. Pay Once & Play: It's about time, but is it too late? The selection chosen for this area of the App Store is remarkably sparse despite the generally high quality of included apps. Mark worries it will only silence the critics and Apple will not update it, similar to iTunes LP. Scott suggests there are probably very few apps that don’t have in-app purchases, hence the lack of featured apps. What are your thoughts? Service Expectations: Are we really getting the services that Apple, and others, promise? Mark complains that many services are still locked to specific regions thereby preventing users from legally accessing content. Mark strongly believes that living in such a connected world should eliminate the need for these restrictions. Mark also discusses his recent testing of music streaming services. Mac Forever: Mark discusses why he believes the Mac will never fail. An interesting opinion, would you agree? Scott has a different view. Would you agree with him? Listen and let us know! Siri: Scott decides to register the domain siri.fail and Peter tries his very best to provide additional evidence that Siri does, in-fact, fail. Renting Software vs Buying Software: We discuss buying software versus renting software. We look at the pros and cons of various systems and also take a look at the support that companies are giving to those who choose to rent software. Apps referenced include: Crossy Road - Endless Arcade Hopper, Lego Star Wars, Workflow: Powerful Automation Made Simple, Transmit for iOS, Feedly - Your RSS News Reader, Evernote, CanOpener.
