How are they accessing my laptop mic? Is it the Google voice plugin? Shouldn't the browser ask for permission before allowing access?

  Because it's a Chrome feature? x-webkit-speech

  They're considering clicking the microphone icon permission. (You did have to click the icon, didn't you?)

    Hm, I wonder if it's susceptible to clickjacking

      Good point. This could be easily use for spying. Next up wikileaks will use this when government IPs are discovered on the site ;p

  Its also a little concerning that google is sending this data to its own servers without warning. GOOG-411 at least warned you it was a collection tool.
