IPhones are on the way to converting calls into text. By admin No comments. Apple just recently filed a patent application. To allow devices to convert speech into text and vice-versa. The system is hardware based, and therefore requires a converter module that would be included in future iPhones and iPads. This has the advantage over current apps like Dragon Dictation. Interested in an eclectic, hard to explain, but completely fascinating documentary? By admin No comments. This means that it really can ...

The California Carpool Stickers expire, for no good reason. On July 1, 2011, the low emissions vehicle carpool sticker program ends in California. For no good reason.

Carmack told his interviewer at Now Gamer:. It’s h...
