Siri, a free app available from the iTunes store, acts as a concierge. Need a taxi? A restaurant reservation? Just speak it into the phone and Siri takes care of the rest. It has voice-recognition and offers answers for questions about the weather, driving directions, movies, restaurants, and more. By partnering with other popular services like Yelp, Taxi Magic, and Open Table, Siri gives thorough and trusted results.
For now, the app only works on the iPhone 3GS, but look for more versions to be released shortly to work on all iPhones and the iPod Touch.
We've already seen the shoes, but now we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at the ads that are being produced to promote the Adidas Originals Star Wars sneaks. We spotted a few celebs in the teaser trailer (like David Beckham and Daft Punk), but Snoop Dogg is up first, and he's making his way through NYC with a gaggle of Storm Troopers and the man himself — Darth Vader — to spread the word about these unique shoes. My favorite part? Catching a glimpse of a few of the shoes coming packaged like Star Wars figurines! Check it out below. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
Don't stress — you have just under a week left before Valentine's Day, which means you have six full days to grab a gift for your special guy! That's plenty of time to snatch up the perfect gadget or geeky token to show your love. I've done the legwork for you, and picked out a few gifts that should satisfy all the dudes in your life. Find out what they are right here.
Relatively speaking, there seemed to be a lot less boobs, and more smart tech in the commercial breaks during the 2010 Super Bowl, which is a good thing — it solidifies the idea that geeks really are rock stars! Although there were plenty of tech-centric spots in-between the fast food and sugary soda commericial goodness, the ad that sticks out the most in my mind is FLO TV's "My Generation" spot featuring Will.I.Am.
Will lays his vocals on the classic rock song, while images of historical moments flash across our screen. Then, we see him rocking a FLO TV adapter and some Dr. Dre Beats headphones. Pretty awesome combination of old-meets-new. Bonus — if you download it, they're donating all proceeds of the new "My Generation" remix to Haiti relief efforts! Check out the spot, and tell me your favorite Super Bowl XLIV commercial when you read more

Rumor has it, Google will be playing with the big boys when they run an ad during this year's Super Bowl. Google has never been one to advertise — although they did release a series of Chrome commercials last year, and put an ad on the Google homepage for the Nexus One — we've never seen an ad for their search engine. That could all change today. Google put together a series of YouTube videos called "Search Stories" late last year, and a little birdie (and a blog) tells us that this may be the one set to air during the third quarter of the game. Seems perfect for Valentine's Day, maybe not so much for the testosterone-filled, beer-drinking crowd. Check it out below.
There's an iPhone app for just about everything, from apps for the morning, apps for traveling, apps for dating, and even crazy apps for pure entertainment value. But my latest find is a new iPhone application that is like your personal assistant.
