Okay if heartfelt means not beating you with a cricket bat, fine, but I consider myself to be repulsed by you. You don't get that?
Yes; that's why I said that I must be doing something right. ????
I said iOS 8 and I gave examples of two situations where many users would have their phone plugged in to power.
Granted, in the car situation I didn't explicitly state that the car driver would have their phone plugged in but those who know of the feature can draw that conclusion.
iOS 8 : Settings > General > Siri > Voice Activation: 'You can speak to Siri without pressing the home button by saying, "Hey Siri" when connected to power.
Edit: Benjamin, YOU know of this feature already. You commented on the AppleInsider article that talks of this feature:

You know there was a famous American songwriter who died probably long before you were born who wrote the lyrics "His brain is squirming like a toad". This describes you perfectly. You are a menace to society.
It doesn't automatically call like the author states.

As it should. That is because Mobile Safari is programmed to handle the URL properly. Any other http client will execute the command without a verification prompt. If you try it with a desktop browser you will see that the behavior is different. It will put the bogus URL in the location field. You can then back up and examine the script.

Tried it with a 3rd party browser and it dialed without any further interaction by me. Tried it with the messages app and it opened safari and prompted me to call.
Interesting. Glad I don't use other apps for urls.

Best solution is to make the "Hey Siri" command customisable, so I can change it to "Hey butthead".
Simple but effective. That solution is brilliant and I hope it's the way Apple goes. I agree that making it tuned to each users individual voice would be overly complicated.
Being able to set your own activation phrase would also get around this problem I've been having. Siri, in the car is listening in on my audiobooks and 50% of the time she responds when one particular narrator says, 'I say.' - Strange but true (and a bit annoying).
Also, I don't know about you guys, but in my household we often have 2 or more iPhones charging pretty close by each other, so having them all respond to "Hey Siri" at the same time would be a nuisance.
If they responded to different key phrases then there would be no issues.
Best solution is to make the "Hey Siri" command customisable, so I can change it to "Hey butthead". That would make me happy.
It doesn't surprise me that 'Hey butthead' is the kind of greeting you would prefer; gratuitously insulting strangers is clearly something you have much experience in, to judge from your posts on AI.

Take a look in the mirror troll, and stop this campaign of harassing everyone who you've ever clashed with. For the record, it's just a Back To The Future reference.

Coming from someone who threatens a poster with smashing his head repeatedly with a cricket bat, that's rich.
Your idea of society appears to be one of anarchy, in which thugs run riot. Perhaps you should move to Ferguson; you'd like it there. ????

You obviously haven't used Siri, as it isn't possible to activate it by saying, "Hey, Siri."
You've been watching too many Glasshole videos.
Benjamin, you haven't checked your facts;

When I test it, it asks me if I want to call.
It doesn't automatically call like the author states.
Are you using iOS 8?
You can go to that webpage and test it. It is actually doing what it demonstrates.

Welcome to wonders of Javascript.
Using code seems like a lot of trouble to make the phone dial...
After iOS 8 has wide release I could just put out a radio advert during rush hour/drive time that says,
'Hey Siri, dial 1900 xxx-xxx.'
Could probably throw in... 'Ok Google, dial 1900 xxx-xxx' for good measure.
That or maybe a late night TV ad for those who leave their phone charging in the living room and fall asleep with the TV running.
Ok, so I wouldn't do that. But how cheeky will it be for a radio DJ on Mother's day to broadcast, 'Hey Siri, call Mom.'
Unfortunately, very unfortunately, Apple may need to have a (non-voice) confirmation for Siri to complete dialing.
Yeah, I know. I only have a problem not a solution.
Best solution is to make the "Hey Siri" command customisable, so I can change it to "Hey butthead". That would make me happy.
I guess they could also try to make it voice sensitive, but that sounds complicated.
You're tapping it the wrong way.

"Klaatu barada nikto!"
"bee boop"
"Execute Order 66"
"bee boop"
"Berwip crawna-wi pinibon"
"bee boop"

Now shut up.

Ah, ok. I don't have iOS 8, so had forgotten about that feature coming this autumn.
I agree with crowley—it would be useful to be able to customise the greeting. 'Hey, Siri' is kinda rude.
Stop it. Now. You aren't contributing positively to anything. Just shut up.
?
I just agreed with you. Calm down.
