Found a fantastic hack over the weekend. It always annoys me that I need to go through settings to deactivate my wifi. Probably the only thing I miss from my jailbroken days is an easy way to get to my settings. You can make the process slightly quicker by adding a contact named Wifi Settings and populate the URL field with prefs:root=WIFI. Once you do that you just need to say "wifi settings" into siri and it brings up the contact card (just like if you said a name). The link is clickable and takes you right to the wifi settings page of the settings app.

Also works with:

Blue Tooth - prefs:root=General&path=Bluetooth
Sounds: prefs:root=Sounds
Brightness: prefs:root=Brightness
Airplane Mode: prefs:root=Airplane_Mode
Wallpapers: prefs:root=Wallpaper

You can also do it with apps:
Youtube and put youtube:// for the URL

If I say "Add milk to Grocery list in reminders" she says there is no "Grocery list" list and gives me an on screen list of all my lists to choose from by touch. If i say "add milk to groceries in reminders", she tells me that location based services are not available in canada. Ive tried different variants and have not been able to add an item to a specific list by voice only.
Don't say "in reminders". Try saying "add milk to grocery list". When I add the words "in reminders" it doesn't work for me either. Seems like this may be one of those things that requires you to say something very specifically.
