With iOS 7.1 Apple's added a new feature to Siri, their personal digital assistant ? the ability to manually control how long Siri listens. The concept is remarkably similar to the old push-to-talk systems, just hold down the Home button, start talking, and then let go of the Home button and Siri goes to work. It's also remarkably different than the Moto X and Google's "always listening". But is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Google Now is a clear winner here .Wished siri would be like the Moto X , always listening instead of having to hit the home button .Would love to say " Siri ,what's happening " and she'd read out everything in notifications/reminders etc .Don't see why it can not be done .
