,&Quot; instead of the Nokia Lumia, according to two separate Siris we asked at The Atlantic Wire, she finds locations with the word "ever" in their names like the " 4 Ever Fit ", which is a gym in nearby Maryland. 

But it looks like Siri's been hardcoded to promote the rest of her Apple family since pretty much every other electronics-related question elicits a pitch for the home team. When asked about the best laptop, computer and even MP3 players, Siri either said herself or Apple made things. 

Here are exact transcripts of our conversations with our phones:

The Atlantic Wire: "Siri, what's the best laptop?"

Siri: "I prefer the Mac."

The Atlantic Wire: "Siri, what's the best MP3 player?"

Siri: "You're looking at it."

The Atlantic Wire: "Siri, what's the best laptop?" (Just in case!)

Siri: "The Apple Macintosh is my favorite computer." 

Interestingly, when we asked Siri about the best phone, of the non-smart variant, she got snobby.

The Atlantic Wire: "Siri what's the best phone?"

Siri: "You're kidding, right?"

The Atlantic Wire: "Siri what's the best computer of all time?"

Siri: "If it's made by Apple, then it's the best computer." 

It's not the phrasing, it seems, since we tried "of all time." So, guess it must have something to do with the word "smartphone" that makes Siri give "real" Wolfram Alpha results rather than a cheeky programmed answer to make it seem human.

At a time when most Moms are already defensive about how they have chosen to raise their children, Time has added salt to the wound by using the words “Are You Mom Enough?” A title designed to pit parenting style against parenting style, Mom against Mom, at a time when we all should be trying to be more SUPPORTIVE of each other and our parenting choices. After all, we all love our children and do the best we can – what more can a Mom do? In addition, the Mom chosen to grace the cover is NOT typical of Moms, in general. Even though she is NOT a model, she looks like she could. Where is her baby tummy? In a time when all women are bombarded with images of what we are ‘supposed’ to look like, Time has chosen to add to the pressure by making us all feel like we must be in model shape and look like a goddess in order to be ‘good enough’.�

my mother’s parenting philosophy was to raise me to be independent. she wasn’t a big coddler, she stopped breastfeeding as soon as possible, she didn’t give in to whiney behavior, etc. I spent a lot of time on my own making things, reading, and being creative. i am grateful that she raised me to be on my own .. I am 50 now and have a very creative and fulfilling life. I enjoy being with people and also being alone. and I have done a lot in my life! it seems to me that this attachment parenting style would cause a person to be needy and that they might have a hard time being alone and independent. 

Unfortunatley you misunderstand what attachment parent is. I co-slept and wore (in a sling) my oldest who is 8 tomorrow. By age 3/4 she was playing on her and using her imagination and still does, as does my youngest. My girls are very happy, independent, thoughtful, creative and smart – very smart.

It’s unfortunate that we have to brand a style of parenting. Parents should be allowed to parent based on what is right for them and their child. No judgement from the outside should be a part of that.

I agree with Rojobahr–it’s hard enough being a parent and this attachment parenting vs. tiger moms vs. french parenting vs. ferber  just adds to the competitive aspect of “parenting” that’s warped so many of these things.  It’s ridiculous and it’s turning people into neurotics or fanatical adherents to one “ideology” of parenting or another.

I am the mother of a 10 month old, and I nurse, as well. I have found that if I try and follow the recommendations of any parenting method and ignore my instincts, the outcome is always regrettable. When I listen to my body and trust myself, it makes for a happier baby and a happier me. No matter what kind of parenting technique one decides to follow, if a parent is severely stressed out, no one is happy. I think parents need to learn to trust their own judgment, and not be so quick to doubt their instincts.
