Apple releases two new Siri commercials starring John Malkovich
Apple is continuing its series of celebrity Siri advertisements with two new commercials from actor John Malkovich. Titled “Life” and “Joke“, the two Malkovich ads are much more offbeat and philosophical than the sing-songy Zooey commercial and the very routine Samuel L. Jackson ad. Apple posted the new Malkovich commercials on its YouTube channel, so you can hop over to YouTube and watch all four celebrity Siri ads or check out the two new Malkovich ones below.

Siri is a well-known offender, and Apple’s privacy policy openly … Read more

Apple’s iOS devices (the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPod touch) are selling at pretty ridiculous rates, and the growth isn’t slowing down either.

Well, they don’t, they get Foxconn to do it for them, but you already knew that. What’s news is that Foxconn is going to blow around $210 million on a 430,000 … Read more
