Two separate observations there, buddy.

But but but... that doesn't have the 5 orientation dots like the Moleskine smart book! How could you possibly snap a picture of your work and vectorize it? How? How? Imposiblu!

And Moleskine's contribution to this "technology" are the 5 dots printed on every page. Wow.

I've seen better joined marketing campaigns.

Better memory usage due to the (BSD-like) kernel, vs Linux could be one of the factors.

"My server earlier used to consume over 1 GB of memory for running PHP, MySQL and Nginx. Now, it doesn’t even touch 500 MB! It’s always less than 500 MB. Everything is just same, configuration, etc. Only OS changed." http://nileshgr.com/2013/06/07/the-move-from-linux-to-freebs...

Slightly off topic but I really wish mainstream VPS providers start adopting FreeBSD, perhaps http://labs.online.net/ can spark that change, I'd move from Digital Ocean in a heart beat!

Just using accelerometer, as some point and shoots do, is pretty inaccurate but still somewhat usable. Using all the sensosrs on a modern phone (including signal strength from known wifi/tower beacons) would yield much better results.

My point is more in the spirit of: I got excited because there's little or no such apps on playstore, offline maps aren't anything new.

When I read "offline GPS" I assumed accelerometer/gyro/compass positioning, now that would have been cool. Some point and shoot cameras have this for tracking position when GPS/GLONASS signal is unavailable.

I don't recommend buying this. Invest time into understanding and securing your local network, and hire capable admins if you manage an office/institution.

Even they note the device is useless on networks with tight security, leaving the "all out" mode it's only viable purpose, and I can't imagine blocking (targeted de-auth attacking) devices you don't own on a network you don't manage being legal in any jurisdiction.

The reasoning behind blocking certain spy-like wifi devices is in my opinion flawed. You simply cannot reach the result marketed here without jamming cellphones as well, so in reality how is this any different, more appropriate or more legal? It's not.

Seems like some people are absolutely desperate to make the cheap Chinese routers + openWRT combo a profitable product. Someone has a stock they need to burn? From a previous failed attempt maybe?

Just in case anyone's wondering, you can replay the results as spoofed network traffic via tcpreplay: https://github.com/appneta/tcpreplay or rather tcpliveplay (that should be included in the package), unless you decide modify tcp packet order numbers manually.

A very useful tool for any kind of low level network development, especially multiplayer games.

You can hear them today! http://www.rtl-sdr.com/receiving-dead-satellites-rtl-sdr/

tldr: satellites are retired by using up their fuel reserves in order to get them to burn out in atmosphere or "park" in a higher orbit. Some satellites have timers built in in case their receivers fail and do this automatically.

Essentially, when something goes wrong satellites stay in stable orbits as space junk, their batteries decay and become conductive so the sun starts powering directly when conditions are met, at this point we can catch telemetry from these space-age relics. Beyond cool.

I'd love one! Rooted, acting as a high quality wifi microphone . If TTS is handled locally (doubtful) I'd love to tap into that as well, it sounds very nice.

This might be the new Kinect, a device least used for what it was originally intended. Fingers crossed, we might be getting a great microphone!

My 20th century diary has better TOS.

You might want to consider re-branding this wordpress hosting service, diaries are usually private until the author decides otherwise. (I didn't register, WP assumption made from the terms)

I believe this is a good place to plug a very usable open source computer vision project: http://openbiometrics.org/

Fantastic alternative you can hack with if you're allergic to APIs that "might" charge their free service in the future.

The article mentions Amazon's Fire Phone 2-star consumer rating, but this piece of information has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Phone's Amazon page was bombarded with fake reviews from activist groups that are trying to get Amazon to switch to renewable energy sources: http://www.amazon.com/forum/top%20reviewers?_encoding=UTF8&c...

Thanks for the links, that's not a search phrase I would instinctively write. I don't understand why you couldn't include examples to illustrate your point in the blog post, you're addressing coders after all. I can't find anything negative about doing that. As is, your post reads like a paygate to your book.

Try linking some code that does reach a solution you deem best, and good luck with your sales!

Spoiler alert: there's no code in this post, and it ends with a link to an IGG campaign.

The BS/m delivered in this presentation is amazing.
