@atpfm I don't know what's stopping John Giannandrea at #Apple from making progress on #Siri, but clearly something is. Your suggestion that it's something about the structure of Apple makes sense to me.
I will say this: I worked with JG (long ago) at both General Magic and later at Netscape. I knew him pretty well, and in every interaction he proved himself to be intelligent, knowledgable, competent, inventive, and effective. Less relevant to this conversation, he is also kind and empathetic. I would work with him again in a heartbeat.
But I want Siri to work.
