Too lazy to seize your TV remote? Use Siri instead

Too lazy to seize your TV remote? Use Siri instead

Siri hasn’t been caught cooking dinner yet, but hackers worldwide have boldly taken Apple’s personal assistant to an entire new level by incorporating its functionality with a plethora of other devices. We have seen Siri use custom commands, change the temperature in your home, or even allow select car owners to make use of their automobile’s Bluetooth integration . Nifty, definitely, but this assistant’s evolution towards greater heights isn’t over yet. Vimeo user toddtreece has whipped up a slick demo of the iPhone 4S’ right hand gal (or guy) taking command of his television set. From changing channels to turning off devices, with the assistance of a proxy and some parts, you may get your property setup running on voice activation. Feeling somewhat guilty to your sudden interest in slothfulness? Fret not — Siri’s apparently quite good at calling you out. Take a look just after the break.

[Thanks, Jesse]
