[QUOTE="Jewlz, post: 989772, member: 142042"] I have an iMac 24in Intel 2.16GHz running Leopard. It sits on an secured Time Capsule wireless network connected to a Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem. Once every evening for the past 3 nights, my iMac has picked up a speech command that isn't from me. The first night, Text to Speech announced "Send this to CL" which launched a mail draft. (There is no CL in my address book). After that I opened the speech commands window to see what was happening but nothing else occurred. The next night, it was "meet with Jane Doe ??? at eight". (Ironically, I know "Jane Doe" casually but I have no meeting with her.) Then last night, it was "What date is it?" and Text to Speech responded. Would anyone care to hazard a guess what is going on? Interference from a neighbor's bluetooth? A provisioning problem at the cable company that's leaking data to my cable modem? [/QUOTE]
