WATCH: Apple’s Siri belts out Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’

Apple has been known to hide easter eggs on its intelligent personal assistant Siri in previous years, but the latest one will take users down classic rock memory lane.

By uttering the words: “I see a little silhouette of a man,” to Siri on either the iPhone or a Mac, the quirky artificial intelligence will follow through with the lyrics of one of rock band Queen’s famous songs, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Although Siri may not possess the same singing prowess as Freddie Mercury,  the witty AI more than makes up for it with gusto, willingly belting out thirteen lines of lyrics following the opening line.

Considering Siri is classified as neither a boy or a girl, the virtual assistant even modified the lyrics to fit the situation. “I’m just a poor assistant, nobody loves me. It’s just a poor assistant from a poor family”.

Of course Siri couldn’t have been more wrong, since most Apple fans out there completely adore the virtual assistant.

If you want to hear more of Siri’s singing, just ask, “What does the fox say?” and it will do the rest. KI

WATCH: User views IPhone6s photos and contacts without unlocking phone

An Android user has unlocked a newly-discovered trick that enables an iPhone user to access its photos and contacts list without a passcode or fingerprint.

In a YouTube channel, user Videosdebarraquito uploaded a video on April 4  featuring a step-by-step guide that grants an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus to view the phone’s contact list and photo albums even though the user has no passcode.

First, Siri should be activated, either by using the home button or saying “Hello Siri”. Then, ask Siri to search Twitter and if Siri asks you what to search, say “@gmail.com” or any username of a Gmail address. Once given a full list of tweets, find a tweet with a full e-mail address in it and click it. Using the 3D touch of the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, firmly press on the e-mail address until a pop-up window appears.

Lastly, click “Add New Contact / Add to Existing Contact” from here, you’ll be able to pick the photo box to view all the photos and contacts on the device.

This glitch is possible when using the 3D touch pop-up feature, thus it is solely allowed on iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. It is also noted that a number of trials should be done to conveniently master the glitch. Gianna Francesca Catolico, INQUIRER.net
