First time accepted submitter jisom writes with something that will probably not be working come morning. Quoting the source: "Today, we managed to crack open Siri's protocol. As a result, we are able to use Siri's recognition engine from any device. Yes, that means anyone could now write an Android app that uses the real Siri! Or use Siri on an iPad! And we're going to share this know-how with you."
Basically, Siri sends the data to the processing server using non-standard HTTP extensions. Of note is that the audio is encoded using Ogg Speex.

I asked Siri that question, and it responded: "You've already asked one time too many." It then displayed a map showing me how to get to Mexico.

Not trying to suggest that this would be a viable approach, but you only seem to have considered the worst case. You would not have to transfer 170 million yottabytes if your first guess was correct.

Haha! They fooled you too. The dirty little secret is that Siri is actually a nice old lady in Delhi.

If you can eavesdrop on SSL connections, you have better things to do than cloning Siri.

If you're so lucky that you can get a 128 random number duplicated on the first try you really ought to cash out your 401k and buy some lottery tickets.

The optimal strategy for playing slots is to hit the jackpot on the first pull. I once explained this to a friend of mine, tossed in a nickle, and hit a $15 jackpot.
He was blown away.

Don't you tell me what I get to do when I can eavesdrop on SSL connections, puny human!
