There's OpenEars, which is free: http://www.politepix.com/openears/ . Basically, you can define vocabulary sets to check against, and you provide a callback to know when a word has been detected. Depending on the c

FWIW, Apple has frowned upon the browser cookie check approach and they might reject a submission using it: http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/25/apple-rejecting-apps-using-... Do you guys have any estimates as to

I'm really curious about this as well. Last I checked, Safari is sandboxed w.r.t. session data, and something like time/IP seems really difficult to use reliably, e.g. if the user is interrupted and waits a while before installing

I worked on the OLPC during my undergrad at MIT (worked on mesh networking their DSP engine and ported cocos2D to Sugar/PyGTK/PyCairo). Things that impressed me: the ambitiousness of the project, the fact that they started with so

Really amazing product! Is the form on your site the most expedient way to get in touch/get access to the SDK? Also, is the error accumulation small enough so that you could use the product continuously for extended periods of time?

Recently saw this movie a couple of weeks ago. I really loved it--the recording Hackman captured is itself a character in the film.

Possibly grandalf is referring to the Times publishing personal details of Snowden and his activities abroad vs. the actual contents of his leaks.

The source, Wayne Madsen, apparently has a history of unsubstantiated claims, including that Obama is secretly a homosexual[1]. [1]: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-guardian-wayne-madsen-nsa...

I must have misread the name in your comment. The greater point I was making still stands: as far as I know, neither Kerry nor Kerrey blur the lines between public service and military industry as much as Cheney does. If Cheney had at least

Please re-read my comments. It has nothing to do with military service or the number of years served. I'm making a general point about each individual's credibility and motivations for speaking out on PRISM. Drake gains nothing fr

As I mentioned in response to davidhollander, Cheney's personal background is extremely important. If Kerry came out in support of PRISM et al., that would absolutely give me some pause--he actively served in and was a vehement dissent

The comparison between Drake and Cheney should be based on the metric of credibility to speak on these matters. Drake has military experience and has put his career and freedom on the line for public disclosure. Cheney actively avoided putt

I think Cheney's draft dodging status is fair game. He did, after all, co-architect our erroneous invasion and continued occupation of a country that did not actually attack us, so he has no problem sending others to war. Something o

From a strategic role, what Greenwald's doing is a smart move. If they were to dump everything out in the public in quick succession, the news cycle (and, by extent, the public) would absorb the information and move on. Timed releases

The iPad hardware itself speaks toward a consumer culture. We have a cultural obsolescence for their older devices: who even talks about iPad 1 or iPad 2 nowadays when there is iPad 3?

A nifty replacement category: https://github.com/gekitz/UIDevice-with-UniqueIdentifier-for... . It generates a different token than the UDID, so you will have to migrate users.
