Some logical deduction would probably lead to the reasoning that it might ahve something to do with sound and, Just possible, a speaker
I'm in Sweden at the moment, and my cousin's ~4 year old C2D iMedia Packard Bell decided to crap out. I didn't really have a problem locating the problem, as the smell of smoke was pretty extensive (if you haven't guessed by now, it was the PSU). Problem was, he had a lot of shit on his HDD, and thus he wanted to get it back of course, so we pulled out an old XP computer as I thought that we could just plug the shhit in there. It appeared though, that the HDD didn't use IDE, and the old computer didn't support SATA. I was thinking about plugging the old PSU in the new one, but the fact that it only had a 20-pin (not a 20+4-pin) main connector, and that it lacked SATA power connector put me a bit off the hook. We then drove to a local shop where I looked for a Molex to SATA power, and I found one. I would probably be able to boot the computer with just this, but I really did have some afterthoughts aboutthe 20-pin connector. I ask about the cheapest PSU in the shop, and he pulls a 400W Chieftech out. It would cost about 60$, which would be a bit expensive if the motherboard turned out to be fried and it wouldn't work anyway, so my cousin's dad asks if we could pay for it, use it, and then bring it back if it didn't work. Understandingly, the man in the shop says that there's really no business in it for them. I then pretty much asks if they have a PSU that they can't seel that they can give us for free. Mind you, this is pretty much what they've just rejected, but he actually finds a 250W in the back-room and says that we don't need to return it. My cousin's computer is now up and running again, and I've found out that not every computer shop out there is heartless.
I had a theory. All Google-services use HTTPS, so you can't just sniff the cookie from traffic when someone uses GMail, except if you use SSLstrip, which I can't do on my phone, yet, because I can't be arsed to look a way to run it on my phone yet. All Google-services. Except Youtube. Youtube uses Google's account system. Nice.

[QUOTE=Makol;32813010]Research before you buy.[/QUOTE] Yeahhhhh, I had never heard of dual core i5's before, shame on me.

Gave a computer away to a friend in need, he used to use an old thinkpad with a broken screen. We also tidied up the place. His set up is pretty nice now.

And we found that at the dump 2+ years ago

I'm pretty sure Google guys aren't stupid enough to keep a hole that massive just standing there.
[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;32814180']You do know you can plug a 20 pin connector into a 24 bin board and vice versa.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but trying to draw too much power from an old PSU would probably proove to be shit. Anyway, that was what I would've done if the over things failed.

If you log in in Youtube, you get logged in Google, but if you log in in Google, you do not get logged in in Youtube.
Needs further testing, can't be arsed right now. Found a really nice Linux distro that might actually handle all this VoIP bullshit I want to do automatically. Kind of like what iRedmail is for email servers.
[QUOTE=tratzzz;32814961]If you log in in Youtube, you get logged in Google, but if you log in in Google, you do not get logged in in Youtube.[/QUOTE] At least I do get logged in to youtube as well. Gmail explicitly first redirects the login through Youtube.

Ahahha holy shit, Siri on the iPhone is awesome! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yktURDxFM1U[/media]
So, when does someone port Siri to Android, we already have a speech recognition module built in. [editline]16th October 2011[/editline] [url]https://market.android.com/details?id=com.speaktoit.assistant&feature=search_result[/url] Hmmm...
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32815794]So, when does someone port Siri to Android, we already have a speech recognition module built in.[/QUOTE] Well, there's Vlingo, but it completely froze my phone on CyanogenMod 7.1.0. Could be because CM uses Android 2.3.7.
This speaktoit assistant ain't half bad, got it opening on a swipe up gesture on my launcher.
Still waiting for when a virtual assistant would actually be useful. I could imagine one in the house when you're all alone and you had the entire house full of mics and speakers and some sort of RFID tag to track where you are so it always picks the nearest mic+speaker setup. Because using one of those is way too awkward with any human around.

[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;32816486]If the voice was completely realistic, and it understood you perfectly, I wouldn't mind.[/QUOTE] You hit the nail on the head, siri is a neat idea but the robot voice just feels unfinished, it'd be a lot of work to have voice actors record all the dialogue (pretty much the entire dictionary) in every language but it would be so worth it.
I'm having far too much fun with this. [media]http://soundcloud.com/fatal_error/robut[/media] [editline]16th October 2011[/editline] It's still a gimicky app, but fun none the less.
