The big problem with recording any kind of video or audio on the web is Flash. It's a nightmare with well-known _major_ bugs in Chrome (good luck clicking on "Allow" if you're a Macbook Pro with Retina display user). If you guys can find a

Thanks for your feedback. We are working on an iOS integration right now.

We do have a sound level meter. If that didn't move for you, it probably means we didn't get any sound input from your microphone. As for the sending, we are investigating it right now. I think the recipient email address was malformed; jus

Great idea, working on it right away. EDIT: Done!

Yea, that's a bug with Flash and the new Retina display. They fixed that in the new beta version of Flash. Hopefully it will be pushed out soon.

Great feedback, thank you! I certainly see your point, and I think it really depends on the use case. VoiceGem wasn't intended as a text replacement, but more for personal messages with emotional value, hence listening to them. However, the

Thanks. We're definitely considering that, I think it would make a lot of sense.

Thanks! Yes, our data shows a surprising amount of longer messages. As for voicemail, same here. Arda addressed this in a comment above: it's just not used for asynchronous communication.

We see two main differences to existing voice applications. First, VoiceGem is meant to be usable by anyone (without having to install an iPhone application, for example). This is the kind of service you can use with your parents, non-tech

"I respect you as a person too much to respect your ridiculous beliefs." (I originally thought Dawkins once said that; if he did, he seemed to have quoted Johann Hari [1]) [1] http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/334644

If you're describing Dawkins as fundamentalist, then you either a) don't know much about him, and what he stands for, or b) have a grave understanding of what fundamentalism means. It bothers me that Dawkins gets that accusation that often,

I do have a source for this, I saw the offer myself. I was also told that this is given to all interns, no matter what department. That being said, maybe this applied only to grad interns - maybe undergraduates get less.

For Stanford CS grads, it's anything but BS. From what I've heard (being at Stanford), it's usually somewhere around $80 - $120. Google, for example, pays $8,000 a month - just for interns!

I'd like to question the implication that your life is not affected by work as a normal employee of a big company. Sure, it's most probably not going to be as intense as for a start-up, but that's less because of start-up vs big company, bu

The personal essay is the part where applicants stand out the most? I sure don't hope so...I am tired of reading all these I-almost-cured-cancer-as-a-kid type essays that people in the US seem to submit for the undergraduate application. Gi

That seems to be a plausible explanation. I am still puzzled how the work ended up being published, though. Surely, the reviewers must have thought the same?

I am talking about the original experiment. I am wondering whether people actually give ESP a serious possibility. I am all for running experiments and finding out new things, and if this really happens to be a ground-breaking new discovery

It should be something in between. I have done my undergrad at Cambridge and I am now at Stanford, and the curricula differ a lot. Cambridge is very theoretical, and teaches a lot about core computer science - they love functional programmi
