The Apple vs. Microsoft and Google battle has been ramping
up in recent years as Microsoft partnered with Google and began to become a legitimate
competitor to Apple. It used to be that Apple was a stand-alone market leader,
but Microsoft and Google have begun challenging the technologically savvy Apple
company.
So what’s Apple’s next strike against competition? Well Siri
has made a subtle stab at Google’s new “OK Glass”. If you have the most up to
date Apple operating system, simply ask Siri about OK Glass. She is not happy. Responses
you might hear will be, “I’m not Glass. And I’m just fine with that” or “I
think you’ve got the wrong assistant.”
A Mashable article written by Vignesh Ramachandran (article

describes his experience with asking Siri
on the iOS 6 operating system and how she was not happy: “She also got
sassy about Glass’ ability to respond to users’ blinks: ‘Just so you know, I
don’t do anything when you blink at me.’” In addition, if you ask Siri what the
best tablet is, she will bluntly reply, “There is only iPad.”
Passive aggressive or not, Apple wants Siri to only know
Apple, thus potentially impacting the consumer.
So what does this mean? Is Apple going too far? What’s next?
