Siri can hear every word you say at all times.

[TheNocturnalEgyptian]

The other day my friend spoke directly into his Siri iPhone and it repeated his sentence verbatim, but in a mechanical voice. Siri uploads everything to its server before it is processed.

Even though Siri is programmed only to respond to you when you say its name, it is hypothetically possible for it to be listening at all times.

Hell, Steve Jobs could have even faked his own death, which occurred at the same time. It could just be the next phase in his evil plan.

He would have also needed to photoshopped himself as well since he looked like death warmed over long before he "died"

The populace (myself included) has been duped into enthusiastically volunteering to wear wireless cameras and microphones attached to central networks at all times.

Orwell is spinning.

I agree, it's as if they don't understand how computers work. The microphone & camera are designed to start when a remote signal is sent. People are so trusting that a remote signal will never be sent at the "wrong" time!

is there a mode where you can turn off the Transmit/ Receive option & just use the devices as your own personal surveillance tool ?

that's real handy to have when you're dealing with cops, for example.

OR - a metal case to stop Transmit/Receive but still allow surveillance controlled by the user, data stored locally.

J.R.Zar. Inc., would like to present for launch its very own MIAmobi™ products. MIA stands for Missing in Action, and Mobi refers to a mobile phone. The technical materials that the MIAmobi™ products such as the SilentPocket™ use are made from a lightweight blended nano-silver fabric with properties to block all radio frequencies (RF) used in today’s wireless technologies. Not only does this material have RF blocking properties but it has antibacterial properties as well. Meaning, just by putting your phone in the SilentPocket™ you’re sanitizing it and it allows privacy that only removing your phone’s battery can provide.

You can use the MIAmobi™ products for:

holy poop! why do they have to be so damn expensive?

there is a yarn that you can buy that's lined with silver. i wonder if i could just knit me one of these??

[Awoke]

I doubt you would ever recieve any incoming calls though. You would have to pull it out when you were "expecting" a call.

Good question. I wonder if any kind of metallic yarn would work, as long as the fabric is tight enough?

I'm sure once other companies get on the bandwagon and start making similar products, the price will come down.

Yes that's right, which can be a blessing sometimes. I have friends who would rather text me like a teenager than call me and hold a normal conversation! What is up with that.

[PatColo]

I think the company "Identity Stronghold" also makes cell phone slips, besides their wallets & passport-slips.

Your pports, credit cards, club cards etc are RFID chipped, and can be read by someone walking past you with a mobile RFID reader. There's a thread here with a youtube news segment where they demonstrate this,

^ everyone should download that PDF book- gives the full background on what's so sinister about everything being chipped, allowing for an eventual "internet of everything" database in the hand of tptb.

there's a few good threads detailing how mobile phones double as spy devices, esp in combo with internet social networks, this one's rich:

Personal data being gathered on the worldwide web means bigger profits for the private sector and is also being shared with the police, argues Steve Rambam, founder and CEO of Pallorium Inc., an international online investigative service. *At a time when electronic gadgets and hi-tech innovations dominate our lives, violating privacy and mining people's personal data is easier than ever. The damage that this 24-hour surveillance could do to society and its freedoms is overwhelming.

sometimes i forget my phone at home or can't find it for a little while. at first i freak out about it. then i think "i lived my first 20 years of my life without it. i managed to survive then.." then i start to wonder, do i really need one?
