Now this probably shouldn’t worry you right now as hardly anyone plans to sell their iPhone just a few months after acquiring it, but it’s one to keep in mind for the future. Siri might go crazy if she hears you consider selling its home.
Okay, maybe the filmmakers Andrew and Nathan McMurry added a dash of imagination to the whole deal, but the result is really worth checking out. 4 minutes and 25 seconds of pure awesomeness follow.
At this point the Siri jokes are probably way more than the actual application of the voice assistant (remember the other Siri horror video?), but that’s just the way it is with every popular piece of geek gear. And it certainly doesn’t make us love those fan videos any less.
Please keep them coming!

Apple has released two new updates today, one for OS X Lion and the other for the desktop Safari browser. The OS X update brings Lion to 10.7.4 and includes some crucial security fixes.
Recently OS X came under fire when the OS would display FileVault passwords in plain text file for users who upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion and kept their FileVault settings. The issue has now been patched in the latest update.
Other things that Apple fixed includes the annoying issue where ‘Reopen windows when logging back in’ option was checked every time you shut down your Mac, even if you unchecked it the last time. Now, just like in Mountain Lion, the OS will remember your preference if you disable the option.
Other changes include:
Head to Software Update on your Mac to download the latest update.
As for Safari, the 5.1.7 update brings improved browser performance when the system is low on memory and fix for an issue that could affect websites using forms to authenticate users. Both these changes are available on the OS X and Windows version of Safari, but there is one extra addition for OS X users. Safari on OS X will now automatically disable Flash Player if it does not include the latest security updates and will provide you the option to download it automatically.
You will get the option to upgrade to the new version from within Software Update on OS X or in Apple Software Update on Windows. Alternatively, you can download the latest version here.

Box.net is getting pretty aggressive – after the recent Sony Ericsson deal, now LG are getting 50GB of free cloud storage too. Owners of Android-running LGs who install Box on their phones between November 30 2011 and March 31 2012 will get the extra storage for free (50GB up from the usual free 5GB).
It’s not a limited time offer either, like the HTC/Dropbox offer. You get to keep your 50 gigs for as long as you have the account. There’s still some fine print though.
First off, you need Android 2.1 and a display with 320×480 resolution or higher. Most phones should easily meet this requirement, so that’s not a big issue.
The other thing is that the press release says the promotion is available in the US and makes no mention of other countries. Also, the desktop app for Box.net isn’t available to users who are using the service for free.
But still – 50GB for free is quite a deal and it will take you only a minute to install the app.
Drop us a comment if you manage to get the 50GB outside of the US. Actually, leave a comment even if you’re in the US as we still can’t get the Sony Ericsson deal to work. It turned out that SE simply jumped the gun, but still we’d appreciate confirmation that everything with the LG deal works.

Google started rolling out the Android 4.2.2 update for some of the Nexus devices a couple of days ago. Although there was no official list of improvements released for the new version, we are now seeing reports from people who managed to get the update on their device.
Android Police has made a short list of new changes that were made in this version of Jelly Bean. The major one seems to be the ability to use the notification screen shortcuts as actual toggles, something that was not possible before (it would take you to the particular option in the Settings app). Although they still behave the same way as they did before if you just tap them, long pressing on some of the shortcut buttons, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi will instantly enable or disable these features. Meanwhile, a single tap is now required to enable or disable Airplane mode.
The other fairly major change is the addition of a new notification sound that plays when you place the device on a wireless charger. There is also a new sound for low battery notification. You can find the sound samples in the source link below.
Lastly, new app downloads show percentage and estimated remaining time in the notifications.
