When a new piece of technology comes out and our lives start to change, we rarely stop to consider exactly who it was that programmed the magical device. But with the iPhone 4S' new voice-controlled personal assistant Siri, you can't help but think about the guy who sat around coming up with the responses it would give to users. Siri, which was born from defense-funded research and later bought by Apple, lets you dictate a text when you can't use your hands, set a reminder using only your voice, and ask for restaurant recommendations like you're talking to a friend. It's gotten more press lately, though, for its hilarious replies to the stupid things people ask to try to stump it. Some programmer, somewhere during the production process, thought of the most common questions users would ask, and then came up with some entertaining reactions — giving Siri a bit of a personality. You've got to wonder: did the makers have the following conversations in mind when they were researching it for defense purposes?
