If you're disappointed by the iPhone 4S, you're nuts — Cue the whiners. Apple didn't announce an iPhone 5 today, just an updated version of the iPhone 4, called the iPhone 4S. Apple stock is down a bit in a flat market. Many are claiming to be disappointed. But here's the thing: You shouldn't be.

Why Siri just might work — When I wrote my post on natural user interface a couple months back (described by some as a “real barnstormer"), I glossed over most current forms of voice recognition. The problem as I saw it, and still see it, is that recognizing voice has to be bulletproof for it to be truly useful.
