Murder suspect asks Siri where to hide a dead body (networkworld.com)

If this is indeed a true story, and if the question is correctly quoted in the article, I really wonder why and how it happened that a "hiding" question returned dumps and swamps...


Asking where to hide a dead body was mentioned in articles about Siri since the beginning: http://blog.laptopmag.com/10-most-controversial-siri-respons...

> Apple endowed Siri with a mischievous temper and a few Easter eggs–for instance, ask her where you can hide a dead body and she happily complies with a helpful list of hard-to-find locations.

It was only a matter of time until statistically you have a murder suspect that knew about / used that easter egg.


Seems you are right. A video uploaded in 2011 showing the answers : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B78kmg9xPP8

I am still not totally convinced that the linked article is not a hoax, or an urban legend in the making.


I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
