Whether you're an iPhone fan or not, you're probably well aware iOS 7 was released yesterday. For all non-users, this basically means the phone's software was amped up a bit, which sounds like it'd be totally cool, but as soon as people could download it, Twitter exploded with complaints.

When it comes to Siri, we finally have some insight into what makes her work.

Siri, iPhone's voice-activated personal assistant, has a reputation of being kind of a jerk. Sure she's a tad snarky and sometimes sarcastic, but she's totally misunderstood, guys. In fact, Siri's actually pretty darn funny!

Maybe don't buy expensive electronics from Walmart. If this (NSFW) video is to be believed, they've all been tossed around and dropped on the floor repeatedly just for the hey of it.

What happens when rocket scientists take on the coffee machine? The answer is a $11,111 coffee maker which brews java at the "perfect" temperature.

The infamous hacking collective known as Antisec has created one of the largest privacy disasters yet --  they've obtained 1,000,001 Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) from an FBI breach. To make matters worse, this is only part of a larger list of 12 million UDIDs that they also managed to get their hands on.

You've surely noticed over the past few years the proliferation of photos of plates of food on your Facebook feed. While one's first instinct is to blame Zuckerberg for this culinary invasion of your cyber space, the real culprit is the late Steve Jobs, since it is the high quality camera on his iPhones that are allowing all your friends to post these dispatches from the latest trendy eatery.

Apple's Siri app turned a lot of heads and ears when the iPhone 4S first hit the shelves. The voice controlled app looked and sounded like something from an Arthur C. Clarke novel. However, it may not bring us any closer to having a real HAL 9000 computer (and considering what happened in '2001: A Space Odyssey,' maybe we should be thankful for that).

Two-year-old stuck in a well? There's an app for that. Rescue workers in Mengzi City, China had the daunting task of freeing a toddler who had fallen into a 40-foot well. While they could hear the boy's cries, they couldn't really see him. This posed a problem when he kept slipping out of the adult-sized harness they had sent down the shaft.

Ever since the first Apple store was established in 2001, the all-glass storefronts have become seriously iconic. But one woman became the victim of modern architecture when she accidentally walked into a glass door at an Apple store and broke her nose. Now she's suing the company for $1 million in damages.

In one corner, we have the Mac, a brand of computer birthed by Steve Wozniak and the late Steve Jobs, who both later founded Apple. The computers grew to incorporate a variety of applications, iPods, iPhones and iPads, and changed the way we listen to music, watch videos, look at photos and communicate. In the other, we have the PC, which refers to any personalized computers that aren't Macs. On t

Siri, the iPhone's voice recognition software, may have trouble understanding accents, barking dogs and a Furby. But if there's one thing Siri gets, it's rap, as evidenced by this amusing video where Siri recites the lyrics to Notorious B.I.G's 'Hypnotize.' Who knew Siri had street cred?

Despite its immense popularity, the iPhone just isn't for everyone. Take this pug, for example, who flips out when an iPhone commercial appears on TV.

The new Apple iPhone feature called Siri is supposed to allow users to send messages, calls and similar functions through voice instruction. However, the technology has yet to master non-American accents, like Scottish, and, similarly, dog barks.

When it comes to recognizing American, French or German accents, Apple's new personal assistant software Siri is a certified pro. But throw some tone terracing at her and maybe a few unvoiced consonants and Siri is likely to get confused faster than you can say "linguistics." Scroll down for five accents Siri has had particular trouble with only a few weeks into its release.
