This is quite bizarre. Wired reports that IBM has banned Siri at work due to privacy concerns.

If you have bought Apple's new iPhone 4S then you probably know by now that Siri - iPhone 4S' intelligent personal assistant needs an active internet connection for it to work. That's because when you ask Siri to do something, the voice data is sent to Apple's data centers where your request is processed and the results are sent back to your iPhone 4S.

    If the past is any indication, I would think that IBM is looking to become a competitor in this market. Betting some acquisition in this space is coming soon.

    So a loaded gun in the hands of your employees sounds like a safe idea where you already have huge security concerns and responsibility? I think my company should follow suit.. We all think its a childish gimmick anyway, not to mention it doesn't even work and we already know it's stores everything it hears (or sees :-/)

    "We all think its a childish gimmick anyway"You speak for the world population? That makes you who?"not to mention it doesn’t even work"Have you tried it? Works fine fore me. Great for getting text messages while driving or sending them for that matter. Both illegal to do by hand in my state. By voice I get what I need. Reminders and appointments a lot quicker too. Press one button set a reminder... takes a couple seconds compared to maybe 15 or more typing the reminder."we already know it’s stores everything it hears (or sees :-/)"Seriously your trolling aren't you?..... Sees? really? Its not HAL9000 So again .. who are you?
