SIRI Is Not As Compliant As She Should Be

Tweet

SIRI the voice activation control software with the latest iPhone4S that lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, to do things just by talking the way you talk and even talks back. The program literally makes the iPhone4S a Personal Assistant and an interactive one as well. However, writers have found out that SIRI is not so proprietary, at least to the phone's owner is concern. According MacWorld, the voice-activated feature on the new iPhone 4S will let anyone use the phone to send e-mails and text messages and make calls even if it is passcode locked. It would mean that this feature could override every security settings you may have for the phone from unauthorized access. It is obvious here that owners will need to switch off SIRI to prevent this security compromise from happening. But, it would just make it really inconvenient to operate it. I feel that the developers will need to work something out here for the sake of security, probably like a owner voice recognition software to release the feature. What do you think?
