When Siri was introduced just last month, it didn’t take long for developers to tinker with the software and find innovating ways of using the feature.
We only very recently learned that Steve Jobs, Apple's co-founder and CEO for the majority of its existence, sought to revolutionize the consumer electronics market in three key areas.
Today has been a bit of a happening day for the jailbreaking community. A couple of hours ago, Chronic Dev Team released their Reporter program which sends crash reports to Chronic Dev Team servers (instead of Apple’s) so they can find exploits, and now we’ve received news of yet another jailbreaking tool. It’s called Ac1dSn0w and it jailbreaks iOS 5/iOS 5.0.1 tethered on OS X Snow Leopard and Lion. Check out the step-by-step guide after the jump!

Let me start off by saying that voice control is nothing new. Apple didn’t invent the technology. What makes Siri different is how popular it has become.
