Which raises the question, does the YouTube iOS app have the capability for a internet connection independent of the the actual device settings?

Another reason to be careful of the Internet of Things

The best defense would be for everything online to run only secure software, so botnets couldn’t be created in the first place. This isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Internet of things devices are not designed with security in mind and often have no way of being patched. The things that have become part of Mirai botnets, for example, will be vulnerable until their owners throw them away. Botnets will get larger and more powerful simply because the number of vulnerable devices will go up by orders of magnitude over the next few years.

Apple Siri

I like the way the some of the other voices sound, but speaking and listening are tied together. If I set my iPod Touch to one of the Australian English voices, Siri expects to hear Australian English as well. I think it would be worth Apple’s time to split the speaking behavior and the listening behavior.
