A variety of screenshots I found amusing
I keep a bunch of random screenshots around whenever I see something odd or just plain stupid. These are a few from that collection which inspired me to be more snarky than normal.
Siri and I don't always get along so well. I'd rather she guess less and ask for clarification more.

![Sync doesn't mean play](/w/2012/10/08/snark/sync.png)
Those were real requests. Silly ones are a mixed bag, too:

Find my Friends isn't the greatest thing for the "forever alone" crowd.

Apple's maps aren't so great, but Google's weren't always spot-on, either. I call this one "you want me to turn left where??". Note the arrow for direction of travel. That whole intersection (Keyes at 10th in San Jose) looks bizarre, but I still find this amusing:

So, if you're working on a program, and it's "coming soon to iOS", you'd probably want to make sure your video played on a mobile device, right?

This next one can be filed under "ad serving software's lack of awareness".

That's enough for today.
