Hi Ann, As far as I know, SIRI uses the same sources for the information it accesses no matter where you are.
However, keep in mind that the information as to who the Prime Minister of New Zealand is will be most likely included in one of the sources SIRI checks where this is not the case with every mayor of any city or town. SIRI gets a lot of this sort of information from Wolfram Alpha, but if it can't find the answer to a questions it offers you to do a general web search for it. For example, ask it "Who is the mayor of New York" and even here SIRI will not know. However, ask it "Who is the governer of New York" and SIRI will tell you the name, his political affiliation, when he started the position etc. Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ann Byrne Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 5:19 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Siri's answers In Jonathan's podcast when Siri first appeared, he asked her questions and she gave direct answers. "Who is the prime minister of New Zealand" gave a single answer. When I ask Siri who is the Mayor of Aurora, Illinois, she gives me a bunch of links to choose from instead of just telling me. is this supposed to be an upgrade? Does US Siri answer less directly than Australian Siri? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
