More than a month ago apples new CEO revealed the latest iPhone, the iPhone 4s. The iPhone 4s is packed full of revolutionary features like iOS 5, and 8 Mega-pixel camera, High Definition video recording and the amazing Siri. This post is all about Siri. Siri interprets voice commands in it's own unique way. It uses all of the in-built apps to, for example, check the weather, browse the web or do sums. The only problem is it can only access the built in apps by apple. But now a specialist called Pete Lamonica who is a software developer from Louisiana has developed a proxy. This proxy allows you to program Siri to respond with certain actions to certain sentences and words. For example Lamonica programmed his Siri to be able to control his thermostat. He can view his thermostats temperature and he can even change the temperature.
I think this development is amazing because it means that in less than two months people have already figured out how to hack into program. This is scary because if people can hack into all kinds of things. Who knows maybe people are hacking into your computer right now or into the governments secret files. So look out because someone may be hacking into your emails now. It's a really scary thought.
