Star Trek has colored all our technological expectations for years. Before the cell phone, there was the communicator. Before the iPad there was the PADD. Now, with the release of Siri by Apple on the iPhone 4S, there is a plausible method of communicating with the computer/television/ship/car/toaster with natural voice …
Because I never had a MobileMe account, or a .Mac account, I’ve never really played with iWeb. Oh, it looks nice, but I didn’t really see a need for it as most of my websites are integrated with a content management system. But, that being said, I thought it would …
