No. When you dictate to Siri, your sound file is recorded and sent to Apple server. It is converted into text there and sent back. The sound file is kept there at the server and modern biometric forensic techniques can locate you from sound sample with more than 94% accuracy.
That is the reason why many countries insist on your voice recording when you apply for visa.

This is news to me. However that being so how do we know that apple or the service provider is not secretly recording our telephone conversations and keeping recorded samples of our voices? already using triangulation almost the exact location of any individual using a cellphone at any point in the past several days can be traced so one is completely losing all privacy the moment one uses such such an instrument. Wouldn't you agree?

FUD! Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt!

Did you see the stink that went up when innocent tracking that Apple did using the locating service? Apple is not tracking you. If your government is using a program like Carnivore or NarusInsight, then you have bigger problems.

With some countries either trying to censor or shut down internet access, build a government controlled country-wide intranet, or forcing RIM to give them access to encrypted transmissions, I can understand some paranoia. These steps would take huge amounts of resources, but to monitor all communications and track all people, would take more resources.

Besides, if they were tracking all communications, the more there are the harder the job. Are they possibly doing it for select individuals. I have to use a currently overused term, terrorists, possibly, that is what Carnivore was designed for.

I have not heard of any country requiring a voice recording for a visa or admission. Give us an example Pabitra.

FUD.

Would you care to extrapolate on, for example, where you got this piece of fascinating ... lets call it "information"?

And how a sound sample on a computer server in North Carolina is going to locate me? Or you?

I mean, completely aside from the fact that I have chosen NOT to hide my location in any way, anyway.

You mean, for example, the phone call where a recording tells you "This phone call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes"? But you stayed on the phone anyway.

I recommend an iPhone app called ContactsXL to manage contacts and groups.

How to delete TV show from iPad

Posted by: "Carol" floridabouvs@gmail.com   floridabouvs

Mon Apr 23, 2012 7:44 am (PDT)



Out of curiosity, I downloaded a TV episode to my iPad. It took an incredibly long time to download and has taken a huge chunk of my Cloud space. Now I can't seem to get rid of it.
I have checked on line for ideas, but it doesn't show on iTunes yet so the suggestions there don't work. I'm hesitant to plug in my phone because I don't want it to take up residence there, also.
Questions:
1) Can I delete the TV show directly from my iPad? Or do I have to download it to iTunes first and delete there?
2) How can I stop items such as TV shows and music from being stored in the Cloud? I'd really rather just have them resident on the device to which they were loaded.
Thanks.

Print from iPad with no computer

I need to be able to print from my iPad. I have a Brother Printer Model MFC J615W. It is not Air Print compatible.

I do not have a Mac and my home Windows PC is shot - but my daughter
does have a windows netbook.

I did get a Brother iprint and scan app - it will print PDF's and photos and webpages.

Is there a way to print from pages or numbers or other things?

If I did get an Airprint printer - is there a special router or other
hardware you need?

Thanks for any help.

Time iPhone to wake up?

Here is a Q from my friend the B and B proprietor that I convinced to get a iPhone. What is the best advice?

" I have alerts set for mail and messages. The problem is that the alerts go off at 3 AM or sometimes earlier if insomniacs make reservations in the middle of the night. Does the iPhone have a sleep mode where it shuts down at a time of my choice and then wakes up at a set time? The BlackBerry will do this but the HTC does not."

While one could just switch to silent it is nice to have an app that does turn on and off automatically. I tend to forget to turn mine back on. When I had a droid there was an app called shush that was great. You told it how long to stay silent. It was great for meetings and movies and such. Can't find an app for my iPhone to to this. I think blackberry has a similar app.

If you ever find anything let the group (me) know.
