Apple has been taking a lot of heat lately for failing to effectively pursue safer working conditions in its overseas manufacturing plants, but also for outsourcing its product assembly to China – because you know, they're the only company outsourcing to China...

Okay, so we've been debating running this story for quite some time now, but we figured since this involves Siri, that ultimately we should do so.
You're probably all aware of the so-called Siri port that runs on some Russian server hosted who-knows-where. Well, apparently it technically works, although many have had very mixed success in getting it to work.
Inside, we'll show you what you need to do to go about obtaining this "port" for yourself, although it's not without some disclaimers...
If you wished for another iPad 3 launch rumor when you woke up this morning, then you're in for a stroke of luck.
According to the oft-accurate Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple will announce the third generation iPad at an event due to be held in March, with a release date to come after that announcement.
