Hi Eamonn,
Regarding the security ID, you should be able to review and change these by
going to appleid.apple.com. There you can make changes to your account.
Failing that, try going to their other site at iforgot.apple.com.
I stand to be corrected here, but I'm almost certain that Siri cannot take
you directly to websites. It only does web searches. It's web searches are
primarily done with Bing, though you can ask for a Google search if you
prefer.
When dictating an email or message, you can't really go wrong, as Siri will
give instructions as you go. You generally select the recipient first, then
the subject (if it's an email, then the body text.
If you say "Send a message", Siri will ask to whom you want to send it. If
you say "Send a message to John Smith", Siri will skip the first step and
ask you what you want to say.
A good alternative is to use the dictation method. Anywhere you have a
keyboard on screen, there is a "Dictate" key directly to the left of the
space bar. Select and double tap this to start dictating. To stop, do the
two-finger double-tap (known as the magic tap). Sometimes I find it's
easier to go to the Messages app and open the message and just dictate from
there, rather than going through the whole thing with Siri.
Yes TuneIn Radio is awesome :)
Hope that helps.
Dave
