#3Do phones not filter out/ignore any sound being emitted from the speaker? Seems like that shouldn't be too hard to do.

#4At least on the iPhone, Siri is only activated by the "Hey Siri" command if your phone is plugged in to charge.

#5Whoa, I just took security with David Wagner last semester and Nicolas/Pratyush were some of my TAs. Academia, where cool stuff is always happening under your nose!

Can you really distinguish sound emitted from the speaker from someone with a hoarse voice? Furthermore, what about medium? Traveling different medium should be considered.

Wouldn't that be similar to the tech that removes echoing from voice/video chatting when someone isn't using headphones? I wonder how intense that kind of processing is.

#9Do people find Sri and Google Now actually useful? I hardly ever find a use case for it, even when I am driving. I just think people should disable Sri and Google Now by default, and only activate after pressing a button.

#10In the old days, kids TV commercials would tell the kids to hold up the phone to the TV, and then play DTMF tones to dial a 1-900 number. For example: http://articles.latimes.com/1991-04-21/news/mn-860_1_horror-...
Today, they can probably do the same via "Siri" or "OK Google" ... ?
