苹果党辣么喜欢撩拨Siri，可TA为啥叫Siri？

谁想出了这个名字？是Kittalaus。本周他在芝加哥的一个启动会议上透露称，Siri是他的一位前同事的名字，他本计划给他的女儿取名叫Siri（在挪威语中，Siri的意思是“可以指引你夺取胜利的美丽女人”），他甚至注册了域名为Siri的网站。然而之后他的妻子怀了一个儿子，这个网站便被搁置起来了。但当Kittalaus准备推出自己的引人注目的语音识别技术，他又重新启用了Siri。“消费品企业需要注意到这个名字很容易拼写，并朗朗上口”他说。

How did Apple get involved? Siri, Inc. was incorporated in 2007, and the technology was launched as an IOS app available in the Apple Store in early 2010; plans were in the works to make the software available for the Blackberry and Android phones. Things changed when Kittalaus, then the start-ups's CEO, received a call three weeks later from Steve Jobs.

苹果公司如何涉足进来？Siri的公司于2007年注册成立，该技术在2010年初被作为一种可在Apple Store上使用的IOS应用程序推出，原本的计划是让Siri可用于黑莓和Android手机。但三个星期后，当作为这个初创公司CEO的Kittalaus收到来自史蒂夫·乔布斯的电话的时候，事情发生了变化。

Then what happened? The Apple CEO flew Kittalaus to his home in Cupertino, CA, where the two had a three-hour chat in front of Jobs' fireplace about the future of technology. "And, you know, he talked about why Apple was going to win, and we talked about how Siri was doing," said Kittalaus. "He felt that we cracked it." Apple went on to purchase Siri for $200 million in April 2010, ending plans to make it available for rival operating systems. There was one problem, however — Jobs wasn't fond of the name.
