<\/strong>No stranger to making controversial comments about the company he co-founded, Steve Wozniak<\/a> has laid the verbal smackdown on Apple<\/a> again, this time talking about the personal voice assistant, Siri<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wozniak admitted to the Times Union that he liked Siri a lot better before Apple purchased it in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cI start telling everyone I knew and speaking around the world about how this was the future of computing, speaking [with] things in normal ways, feeling like you\u2019re talking to a human,\u201d said Wozniak, describing the original program.<\/p>\n

As an example, Wozniak said that he used to be able to have Siri list prime numbers greater than 87; however, when he asks Siri to do that now, it thinks he is talking about prime ribs.<\/p>\n

Wozniak has previously noted how Android<\/a> and Windows Phone<\/a> do many things better than Apple\u2019s own iOS operating system.<\/p>\n
