How to fake Siri conversations ? without an iPhone 4S

iFakeSiri

By Rosa Golijan

You can make Siri?say some pretty silly things?with a little bit of effort?? but what if that's not good enough for you?

What if you have a strange desire to fake even sillier conversations with the virtual assistant? And what if you want to create these phony exchanges without even touching an iPhone 4S?

No problem. All you have to do is head to a website called iFakeSiri?and you'll be able to create as many faux Siri screenshots as you'd like. Just follow the formatting instructions, select your preferred cellular carrier, and you'll have a convincing screenshot in seconds.

It's worth noting that while the iFakeSiri screenshots are authentic looking, they certainly won't fool anyone for too long?? especially if he or she tries to reproduce them with the real Siri. But that doesn't mean that they won't be good for a quick laugh or a goofy Facebook post.

Fine (AP)

ESPN has released recordings that suggest that Laurie Fine, the wife of former Syracuse University associate head basketball coach Bernie Fine, suspected that her husband was sexually abusing a ballboy for the team.

Was Laurie Fine legally obligated to tell the police about her suspicions?

No--not even if it could be proved that she was guilty of knowingly allowing sexual abuse to occur in her own home.

Individuals never have a legal obligation to report a crime, including child abuse, says Deborah Epstein, a law professor and director of the Domestic Violence Clinic at Georgetown University. In New York state, where Syracuse University is located,? only people in certain professions--including most medical professionals, school officials, social workers, day care workers, and some others--have a legal obligation to report child abuse.

"I know everything that went on, you know," Laurie Fine says to Bobby Davis in 2002 on the recording. Davis and his stepbrother, both former Syracuse ballboys, have accused Bernie Fine of molesting them when they were children. A third accuser has also come forward, saying he was abused by Bernie Fine in 2002. (Laurie Fine told Syracuse's Post Standard that parts of the recordings are accurate but that they may have been edited. Bernie Fine has not been charged with a crime, and he denies the allegations.)

In the recordings, Laurie Fine appears to explain why she didn't step in to stop the alleged abuse. "If it was another girl like I told you, it would be easy to step in because you know what you're up against. ... (When) it's another guy, you can't compete with that. It's just wrong, and you were a kid. You're a man now, but you were a kid then."

To be criminally liable, Laurie Fine would have had to have participated in the alleged abuse or have tried to actively hide her husband from the law.

New York has a "spousal privilege" law, which means the spouse of an accused person cannot be compelled to testify against him or her in court in most cases. That wouldn't be an issue in Davis's case, because the alleged abuse happened in the 1980s, well beyond the federal statute of limitations of 10 years for crimes involving the sexual abuse of children.

Signs point to Pujols staying

Jeff Passan of Yahoo! spoke with an MLB executive who says?he?s ?100 percent certain? Albert Pujols will re-sign with the Cardinals. ?The reason: no one else is really showing interest. At least no one with the kind of money to outbid St. Louis.

I?ve kinda assumed this for a while. It was just bad timing for Pujols to hit the market, with with the Yankees and Red Sox both committing to top-notch first basemen in recent years. ?That left the occasional-spenders out there. Texas. Los Angeles. Detroit. Washington. Maybe the Cubs. Those teams either have a first baseman already or just don?t seem to want to pony up this year.

Albert is going to stay with the Cardinals. He?ll still be very rich. His legacy will be much better for it. And the Cardinals will be a much better team for it, at least for the next several years.

Good Reads: So Western nations have failed to cut spending. What's next?

With a US Congress 'super committee' unable to cut spending and Britain's government also struggling, the West is looking like a wastrel; and Cairo's Tahrir Square seethes once more.?

The front pages today appear to be full of failure: failure of the US Congress?s ?super committee? to bring down spending in line with tax revenues; failure of Britain?s government to bring down its own rising levels of debt; and failure (thus far) of Egyptian protesters to push the country?s military from political control of the government.

Skip to next paragraph

Reading a story about failure requires a certain amount of masochism, unless one is looking for clues on how to learn from this failure and to improve. The articles in today's Good Reads push the news beyond failure and dole out golden nuggets of explanation and context to consider. So let?s learn, shall we?

In today?s New York Times, Binyamin Appelbaum and Annie Lowrey write about the likely economic consequences of Congress?s inability to come up with a compromise on spending cuts. Instead of finding a gentler way to reduce spending, Congress has essentially put the country into a form of receivership, where the law will now require equal cuts of new spending in both defense and domestic budgets.

Not only will this mean deep cuts in military programs and health care, but the Times' writers say it also ?threatens to significantly slow growth in an already ailing economy by raising taxes on almost everyone while reducing government spending on almost everything.?

But, wait: Mr. Appelbaum and Ms. Lowrey find an economist who finds a lesson in all this.

?There could be a bit of a silver lining,? said?Rosanne Altshuler, an economist at Rutgers University who served on President George W. Bush?s 2005 tax reform panel. ?It forces us to come to terms with cuts in areas that have been difficult to touch ? the military and?Medicare. We may not like how the cuts are going to be done, but we better start dealing with the fact that cuts are going to have to be made.?

So why did the ?super committee? fail? Ideology, according to the Washington Post.

Although Republicans offered to raise taxes by $300?billion over the next decade, they insisted on conditions that all but guaranteed that the wealthy would not be hit hard. And Democrats refused to agree to deep cuts in spending on health care for the poor and the elderly unless the rich were forced to make greater sacrifices.

If Congress is having trouble getting debt under control, it is largely because debt has become such a major part of the US economy, writes the Monitor?s Mark Trumbull.
