Siri Hack Seemingly Opens Door To Endless Possibilities And Custom Voice Commands Advertisements With the introduction of Siri, the system-wide voice recognizing slave along with iOS 5 on the iPhone 4S, it was only going to be a matter of time before it was hacked, thus revealing the true boundaries of what it is really capable of.

Jailbreak Round-Up: 10+ New Apps, Hacks and Tweaks for iPhone & iPad Last year, we examined the many reasons why people jailbreak (that is, hack) their iPhones, with two articles detailing some of the best apps out there for jailbreakers. In August, we shared a list of several top apps, including the ever-useful Wi-Fi hotspot app MyWi, hacks that let you use FaceTime over 3G, tools for unlocking a phone and other tweaks and customizations. In October, we provided a list of 30 more reasons to jailbreak, which detailed new homescreen customizations and other applications. But the jailbreaking community is always innovating, and there are new things released every day. Let's look at some of the latest additions. Multifl0w 2.1: An update to the older app Multifl0w brings an entirely new (and very webOS-like) way to interact with your iPhone applications. CallLock: This tweak fixes the iPhone 4's proximity sensor issue by locking your iPhone's screen when you make a phone call. ?

Square Card Case update brings hands-free payments with iOS 5 geofencing Square just pushed out quite an interesting update to their Square Card Case that we told you about back in August when it was first released. Taking full advantage of iOS 5′s geofencing capabilities, the updated app can now establish a tab at your favorite retailers when within a virtual boundary of 100 meters, essentially allowing for a frictionless, hands-free payment experience. Imagine walking by your favorite retail shop and a tab with your name is automatically opened on the merchant’s Square app for iPad, just in case you happen to stop in and make a purchase. If you do stop in to make a purchase, the merchant can authorize the payment using a credit card or debit card already linked to the Card Case app on your iPhone. This obviously allows you to bypass the need of removing your phone from your pocket and interacting with the Square card case app to establish a connection with a merchant. You can grab the Card Case update (version 1.1) free of charge from the App Store now.
