Geek Smack Crap for Halloween

We look at some cool geeky costumes you can get in time for Halloween. For instance, Spy vs. Spy was a favorite comic growing up. Therefore, I would not know who to go as. The White Spy or the Black Spy. Spy vs Spy Costume
Maybe these are the robes you are looking for? I wonder if Jedi Knights have pre-issue clothing they have to wear? At any rate, get a Jedi Robe
Don’t want to go in costume? Just want to have fun with electronic toys? Then try this remote controlled Zombie.

Geek Smack! Topic of the Week: Siri – Watch What You Say, Big Apple May be Listening…

Everybody has been talking about this new voice command system of Apple called Siri. At first, the shiny luster of the new toy made them giddy. But after a while, some started to complain. This isn’t working or that isn’t working. Little did they heed the “Beta” tag that even sits on top of apple’s page for Siri.

Siri works by you asking it a question or saying something, the voice recognition deciphers your voice to words, then goes to the Apple servers to get the answer or to make a command happen. It will remind you of appointments and point you in the right direction.

New data is collected to make Siri work even better. When you ask a question, what happens to that question? Is is getting collected and stored to make Siri better, or is it getting analyzed and used for something more?

Just like Facebook, I have some questions about Apple’s practices
