A computer.

It speaks to you without sound (message boxes and whatnot)

They're quite popular, everybody has one.

Not sure about the defer part.

Computers certainly don't work under water (with the fish).

You can get insurance to cover it if it's stolen.

It's also very good at calculations.

Isn't Eetu spyware?

Some sort of illegal computer software.

Furthermore, maybe one that steals from businesses?

Specifically Cuban Missle Crisis

Explanation:

Atomic Missles cannot voice their opinions.

And it can defernantly destroy a company (aka flatten everything within 20 miles).

Contrary to popular belief, Cuban missles didn't swim and you can save 15% on insurance on your home through Geicos cuban missle crisis insurances policy which is required for people in the state of Florida.

Urban legends claim that Cuban missles were programed using a software called eetu.

When they are loaded with atomic ractors, although the po po might find them, they are defiantly strong enough to destroy any tower.

but i might be wrong, am new at this =)

a mobile phone?

cos it fits with most of the verses (except the fish one)

You are correct...but for extra credit, can you be more specific? The clue is in the riddle, but most posters have misinterpreted its meaning.

It is very interesting seeing the other guesses, like the cuban missle crisis guess, very creative.

A Nokia cell phone...

I can speak with no sound: text messaging

Or with if you prefer: normal call and talk

My popularity abound: everyone's got a cell phone, right?

Your company I defer: Verizon, Alltell, Sprint...it's up to you

I don't swim with the fish: most cell phones die when they get wet

You may insure my steal: love that $5/month insurance fee

or if you wish

I may calculate your meal: handy tip calculator on many models

I may have started with Eetu: this threw off everybody. although Eetu is an adware program, it is also the most popular male name in Finlad...home of Nokia

and when loaded with power

our finest may find you

If I reach for the tower: "our finest" (police, EMT's, etc.) can find you via your cell phone if you have power and signal from a tower

Somehow my post didn't take the spoiler previously - I had a friend in Soumi (Finland) named Eetu, we used to joke that it had something to do with a weather station in Estonia!

He promoted them, totally recomend the afore mentioned item.

Good one!
