Apple disabling unauthorized Siri ports on non-iPhone 4S devices

A report on Tuesday revealed that Apple has added a new barrier to the software needed to run Siri on the iPhone 4S, a move that shows the Cupertino, Calif., company is actively tracking the growing number of iDevice users who have managed to port the voice-recognizing assistant to non-supported hardware.

Really? I mean, seriously... why would they care?
Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

Them's fightin' words! Just for that, I'm going to jailbreak my iPhone 4 and put Siri on overtime on my wife's 4s.

I just asked Siri to shut down your phone and notify Tim Cook that you're harassing her. Expect a call from the Apple Secret Police very soon.

Better watch your Console logs... I hear Anonymous has been attacking people by way of Firefox tab closings and Audacity sample loadings.

I think they are having a difficult time dealing with the traffic created by everyone using Siri.

My Siri port is working fine for me. All I had to do was delete the .plist file and it was working again.

The pessimist in me says Apple just wants to maintain Siri as a selling point of the 4s. The optimist in me hopes this is being done because Apple plans to bring Siri to the other devices in IOS 5.1. The realist says Apple's team just enjoys their game of cat-and-mouse with the hackers.
