...who refer to the Olympic athlete by her previous name

Apple's voice recognition software always refers to the athlete as Caitlyn -- If the user asks about Bruce Jenner, the content of the question is changed -- One Tumblr user asked: 'What is Bruce Jenner's real name?' -- Siri quickly replies: 'The full name of Caitlyn Jenner is Caitlyn Jenner'

"How tall is Bruce Jenner?"

"Caitlynn Jenner is six-foot-two."

"How long is Bruce Jenner?"

"That answer is no longer available."

At some point (if this hasn’t happened already) things like Siri and Google will become so ubiquitous that their power will exceed the power the of the state over the lives of ordinary people. The internet is a great thing if it provides free and unedited access to all information in the marketplace of ideas. It’s a bad thing if it restricts access to information the elites deem should not be seen. It’s a truly horrible, Orwellian thing if it restricts access to “undesirable” information, while maintaining the illusion of objectivity. That’s something even Stalin’s censors could never accomplished - the average Soviet knew he was being lied too; the Seri searcher who is told “There is no such thing as ‘Bruce Jenner’,” may not.

We are moving very quickly toward dangerous ground. Today, you can’t search Seri on “Bruce Jenner”, or buy confederate flags on Amazon or eBay, civil war games on the Apple App Store, or “white power” music on iTunes.

What happens tomorrow when a google search won’t even return search results for conservative websites?

"Does anyone really care what this guy does?"

Well, you must, for one, since you took the time to click on this thread and comment on it.

I just asked Siri if Bruce Jenner has a penis. No reference to Caty.

Hard to believe,but I saw on TV this morning where this twinkie got some kind of award for what I’m not sure. This country is becoming an asylum for about everything it seems.

Has Caitlyn chopped off her willie yet?

Maybe I should ask Siri?

This was deliberately and intentionally inserted into the program called “Siri” in order to boost the insane transgender agenda. Has something to do with the head of Apple being a politically correct “gender.”

Apple has been suckered by Jenner and the Kardashians big media scam.

Pathetic.

What response did Siri give to the question?

I look at that THING and what I think of is desecration of the human body (the temple) an abomination.

That would be like sewing a cat’s tail on a dog and expect the dog to start meowing.

Well this freak hasn’t even cut off the cajones so his name is BRUCE!!!

And why would I care how tall that fool is? Until he cuts his pecker off he’s just looking for attention. And when the novelty wears off he’ll quietly put back on jeans and shirt.

“Can you tell me about Bruce Jenners world class decathlon” still returns information on Bruce.
I guess they missed one.

I believe that it is the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.
