Super Siri that can answer any questions.

"How do I build a time machine?"

"Is there any hidden treasure around here?"

"How do I make myself immortal?"

Really close to mine: reach into my pocket and pull out whatever I want to. Time machine? Treasure? Functional immortality tied to my intent to live pill? Pants with a huge pocket so I can pull out this big thing that wouldn't fit in my normal pocket?

I enjoy the fact that at least one person was so offended by my idea that they had to downvote me.

Egotistical maniac that I am, I like to think they were enraged that I came up with the idea before them.

Or that they hate Apple so much that the mention of any of their products sends them into a blind rage.

But as to your comment. Wouldn't you get burns from all the pizzas in your pocket? And wouldn't Hackers - era Angelina Jolie suffocate in there?

Probably just"big tech bad" brain-chip knee-jerk reaction

oooh. like the magic talent from the guy in xanth who answers any question for one year of service. not bad. doesn't make impossible things come to be though so many of the answers to your questions could end up being you can't.

Never read the Xanth books. Might give them a try.

Try "City of Last Chances" by Adrian Tchaikovski. Guy carries a box full of weak god around, doing very small miracles...

before you read xanth realize its anthonies silly series especially as it goes on. Its a magical land full of puns and most of his books are like soft core fantasy porn very similar to typical anime.

Yeah, now I remember. I think I picked up one long ago.
