Siri Hates 'Her'; The First 3D Printed Book Cover & More

Apple engineers sure do have a sense of humor. Siri has been known to answer questions in hilarious ways, especially when the questions are silly enough.

Is this the most tech-forward World Cup ever? Probably. The sporting event will be launched off with a mind-controlled exoskeleton who will move forward to play the ceremonial first kick of the sporting event in Brazil.
