Cupertino, Ca. – The Siri natural language assistant on the iPhone 4S , has a Web assistant, a free online guide for answering the many questions about her peculiar, prickly personality.

Acting as a virtual personal assistant to help people get things done just by posing verbal questions, Siri answers with to all kinds of questions. In addition to providing useful answers, Apple has programmed Siri to provide amusing answers to many questions, especially naughty questions.

The Web app online features a Q&A format that displays Siri's answers only to questions selected by the visitor, thus minimizing the need to navigate through many pages to find what’s needed.

"The home page of 4Siri.com provides direct access to 2 featured videos, Apple's official Siri website, iPhone 4S FAQ, Tips & Tricks, 25 additional articles and, most important, a comprehensive database of more than 300 Siri answers, conveniently divided into 3 categories -- funniest, cool and naughty questions," said the web page developer, Jodi Dery.

The site also provides a method for users to submit screenshots of newly discovered Siri answers, each of which will be verified before being added to the site, according to Dery. A one-stop iPhone 4S accessory shop, managed by Amazon.com, is also on the site.
