**The World Reacts to the Death of Steve Jobs**

In a shocking turn of events, the tech world has been left reeling after the sudden passing of Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple Inc. The news has sent shockwaves around the globe, with many taking to social media to share their condolences and pay tribute to the visionary entrepreneur.

**Buzz Out Loud Podcast Coverage**

The CSD's live coverage of the passing of Steve Jobs was met with a flurry of activity on the Buzz Out Loud podcast. Hosts paused playback to discuss the news, with one host expressing gratitude for being able to cover such an important story. "Well, you're welcome to the CSD doing live coverage showing coverage of the passing of Steve Jobs," said the host.

As the conversation continued, the hosts began to shuffle through songs by Coldplay, taking a brief pause from discussing the news to get into the music mood. "Okay Coldplay coming up shuffled send a message to Jenny I couldn't find Jenny in your contacts to whom shall I send it," one of the hosts said.

The hosts then proceeded to send a text message to an unspecified individual named Jennifer Alan, updating her on their whereabouts and inviting her home. The conversation also touched on sending an email to Jennifer Alan, with one host expressing frustration at not being able to be more literal in their communication with Siri.

**Siri Demonstrations**

One of the highlights of the Buzz Out Loud coverage was a demonstration of Siri's capabilities. The hosts took turns asking Siri questions and testing its limits, including sending reminders and adding appointments to calendars. "I updated the subject," said one host after sending an email to Jennifer Alan.

The conversation also touched on the ability to use Siri to manage daily tasks, with one host expressing delight at the ease of use. "I really like the ability to quickly and easily add reminders and tasks this is normally a difficult process to do manually so to be able to do it in a few words is great," said another host.

The hosts also used Siri to search for Apple on Google, demonstrating its capabilities as a research tool. They even asked WolframAlpha more complex questions, including the square root of 1250 times 1.85 and the age of Earth.

**Voice-to-Text Dictation**

Another feature showcased by the hosts was voice-to-text dictation, which allowed them to send messages and interact with Siri in a more hands-free way. The conversation also touched on the ability to use this feature, including sending an alarm to wake up at 5:00 a.m.

**Fun Interactions with Siri**

The hosts also had some fun interactions with Siri, including asking it what they were wearing that day and attempting to get it to respond in a humorous way. "So are you Skynet I'm sorry Michael I'm afraid I can't answer that open the pod bay doors Hal shy try again," said one host.

**Conclusion**

The Buzz Out Loud podcast coverage of Steve Jobs' passing was marked by its lighthearted and playful tone, with hosts using Siri to test its limits and demonstrate its capabilities. The conversation also touched on the potential benefits of Siri's features, including voice-to-text dictation and reminders. As one host said, "I'm sure it will be expanded out and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Siri."

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwhat's up guys this is Mike the Detroit Borg with a demo of Siri on the iPhone 4s now there are two voice control systems on the iPhone 4s there is voice command and then there is Siri voice command is built into the iPhone that's built into the software and does not require internet connectivity Siri is cloud-based so it requires a connection at all times in order for it to work now if we turn Siri off we can get back to using voice commands so again just hold the home button play artist Coldplay you can see I can control my ipod and I can call a phone number I can do very basic things I could skip forward skip back that sort of thing or I can ask what time of this now if we want to get to the more sophisticated cloud-based system Siri we're gonna have to turn that on in order to turn that on if you don't have it on it's under general Siri and turn on enable under options we can change our language to English Australia United Kingdom French or German we're going to stick with the United States under voice feedback we can let Siri talk to us always or hands-free only under my info this links to my address book so it contains my home address my phone numbers my emails everything like that so Siri knows who I am when I'm talking and raised to speak basically this allows you to raise the phone to your ear so it works with the proximity sensor so when you're talking to Siri if you raise it to your ear it automatically transfers the speaker to the earpiece instead of the external speaker so what can we do with Siri well Syria will tell you Siri what do you do so this gives you an idea of how you can use Siri and in what ways so this is a fully integrated with existing Apple apps and within the core iOS 5 operating system so this doesn't include every single app so we see we have the phone app iPod messaging calendars reminders maps may whether stocks alarms contacts where are my friends and family notes Safari and
