Hacker’s joy as Samsung Galaxy Note ICS code made available

The Samsung Galaxy Note has proven to be quite a successful handset for the company, and is only really rivalled by its smaller sibling the Galaxy S2 and the upcoming S3, but today we have news that Samsung has released the Android ICS 4.0 source code for the device.

Samsung recently completed the process of updating much of its Galaxy S2 handset range although variants of the device are still waiting for the new operating system over in the US, and earlier this month the company started the process of updating the Galaxy Note to Android IceCream Sandwich with the international version of the handset.

iPhone Siri banned by IBM

Well now, it appears if you happen to work for IBM and own an iPhone, don’t expect to be able to use the Siri voice assistant on your iOS smartphone when at work, because the word is IBM has now banned the use of Siri on their internal networks.

According to the guys over at Wired, the reason IBM has taken to banning Siri from their networks is because the iPhone 4S voice assistant sends everything that is said to it back to a large data centre in Maiden, North Carolina.

Apparently Jeanette Horan, the CIO of IBM spoke to Technology Review, stating that the company this week has banned Siri outright because IBM worries that the spoken queries with Siri might be stored somewhere. But it isn’t just Siri that IBM has put a block on as the company has also banned such apps as public file transfer service Dropbox.
According to Wired, Horan is right to worry about Siri, as Apple’s iPhoneSoftware License Agreement states that when a user uses Siri or dictation, what you say is recorded and sent to Apple to convert what you say into text, and apparently Apple also says that Siri also collects unspecified user data and names in a users address book to help Siri perform better.
