Apple warns of impending doom?

I recently received a text message on my Iphone, the text message told me to ask siri "what is july 27, 2014?"
Siri replies, "It's Sunday July 27, 2014 (opening gates of hades)."

Here is a video of someone asking siri (If you have a Iphone try it yourself)

what do you guys think? Perhaps a leaked warning? Or just a practical joke?

I did it...those whacky apple folks...it says exactly that...when you ask Siri What is the gates of hades, he replies it July 27, 2014...pretty funny. Either question gets the response..

I guess it goes without saying that one would have to believe in the concept of hell first before accepting the idea proposed in this message.

EasterEgg


Could also be clever marketing for hype, which ends up being a new product date.


....or it's the beginning of TEOTWAWKI


mwhahahaha!!

Oh geese...I got to get busy, it's my job to open those gates. I got to remember that date, I'll get everything prepared on the 26th.

That is my granddaughters sixteenth birthday, the day she will be driving.

Ya, didn't apple recently call our government evil? I wonder if this is connected.

So what does it say for July 28th?

That was my first thought. Either an Easter Egg or an "inside" joke between Siri programmers.

Has anyone tried asking Siri why the gates of hades will be opening on July 27th, 2014? I don't own an iPhone so I don't know
if that is too comprehensive a question for a troll-program like Siri.

Because it's a reference to the Chinese Ghost Month, when the gates of heaven and hell are opened. Ask her when the gates of hell are opening, and supposedly she'll tell you that they have been open since May 14, 2005. I don't enable Siri, and I've never tried it.

edit on 10-1-2014 by shadow12 because: (no reason given)

Did you try "When are the gates of hell opening?" I don't know beans about Siri.

eta:
I keep thinking I should try to learn what Siri can do, just haven't ever gotten around to it.

reply to post by Bedlam


yes, it brought up a bunch of web results

So I guess I should hold off making reservations for dinner and buying my wife a present since our Anniversary is July 28th. All hell is braking loose the day before.

I can't open video or have iPhone.Is Siri like webbot,AI??

reply to post by shadow12


Well that is not spooky is it??

THANKFULLY I do not own an Iphone!

Bedlam is correct.

Been here done this already

lol

Say to siri "What is July 27" and it will say "Opening Gates of Hades"

Then you can also say "What is September 3" and it will say "Closing Gates of Hades"

August 15th is "assumption of Mary day"

There are a bunch of these "holiday" like events automatically set into our phones. It's a little strange.

Peace.

I read somewhere that Wolfram Alpha is used but I don't know if it's true or how to find out for sure.

ETA:

Rather than return a list of search results in Google, Siri uses Wolfram Alpha to generate what it believes is the correct answer.
