It's easy to get overexcited about the iPhone 4S' novel voice recognition software, Siri. After all, if any company can show off a new product based around old tech and still garner massive fanfare, it's Apple.
The company demonstrated the new "electronic assistant" last week to hoots and hollers; talking with computers has been a geek pipe dream for years, if not decades. But no matter how you may ask, there are some things Siri just can't do - as evinced by a hilarious new Xtranormal video making the rounds today.
The parody video comically answers the age-old question of how a Venture Capitalist would use (abuse?) voice-based technology for their own nefarious ends. Based on what was no doubt intensive internal testing, the uploader discovered that Siri cannot: deliver genies, hire intelligent yet submissive female associates, replenish drug stockpiles, teleport people or mix drinks. Who knew? (via Tech Crunch)
