Siri Improvement

Not only is Siri getting faster, it seems to be getting smarter too.

Jan Dawson has an example where Siri figured out where you are going without you telling Siri where you are going.

Also:

• Daniel Jalkut, Bitsplitting: Whatever combination of luck, hard work, and pragmatism is powering the Siri team’s “year of good work,” perhaps it should serve as a model, or at least as a symbol of hope for these teams as they move forward adding features, fixing bugs, and finessing the public’s perception of the value of their work.
• Rene Ritchie, iMore: Like Continuity and Extensibility and Touch ID, the investment in Siri will likely pay off beyond it's initial implementation.
• Chris Lacy: Siri's speed improvements are a positive step, no question. But is there enough evidence to suggest “Google is getting better at design faster than Apple is getting better at web services” is no longer true? For me, as a heavy user of products by both companies, not by a long shot. A very long shot.
• John Gruber, Daring Fireball: Most of the commenters, though, seem to jump to the conclusion that I’m positing that Apple has caught up to Google in web services. I try not to roll my eyes at accusations that I’m an “Apple apologist”, but I read this thread, and re-read what I wrote yesterday, and it’s hard not to.
