Hi folks,
2 things:
1. I was on the phone with the guys in the IOS accessibility department, 
and, are ya ready for this folks? In IOS 8, siri is gonna do alot more 
than she ever has done!
First, you'll be able to bring her up, just by saying "hey siri".
No touching anything on the device!
Also, they told me that she is gonna do alot more than what she has 
done. They didn't tell me what, but they told me, people are gonna love 
it, very much!
2. Then, I got wind of this.
In IOS 8, Apple is going to use something called I beacon.
Imagine this senario! You are now walking into a mall, and your I device 
tells you, "you're now passing, bed bath and beyond", or, "you're now 
passing Taco Bell"
Every store will be mentioned. But wait, there's more!
Let's say you decide, "ya know something, I think I'm gonna go into bed 
bath and beyond, gotta get something for a friend."
When you turn into the store, your I device will tell you, "you're now 
passing the body wash isle" or, "you're now passing the linnens isle."
So, you turn down the body wash isle, and your I device will say, 
"you're now passing oil of olay body wash" etc.
Just think about it folks!
Apple is mapping every large building in the world! Seriously! Every 
mall, hotel, and shopping center!
They learned from their huge mistakes with google maps, and now, they're 
getting it right!
