Is there a way let users collaborate without authorizing the app?

Developers authorize and create API with Google but it will be nice to allow users to collaborate anonymously like Sharing a Google Doc to the public.


Russia sold their part-damaged aircraft carrier for a reported $2.3bn to India

Not to mention china's new liaoning carrier, which is a relatively recent product of the Soviet Union.


Q. Is there life on Mars?

A. There is now!


“If you write a book that annoys or inconveniences me, even deliberately, I have no civil or criminal recourse. But if you send an e-mail message, or post a tweet, you could face three years in jail,” says Mr. Prakash. “That’s higher than the two-year imprisonment for causing death by negligence.”


That's when you start looking for tweets that promote the book...


It looks like they are issuing 50,000 visas this year. Any stats on how many people apply for this?


There are some interesting statistics on the Wikipedia page [0].

It does not read the results back to me. Is there something wrong with my settings?


No, it only speaks the result if there is single answer to say. If you ask it what is 15% of 51 it will speak the result. But if you ask a broad question (what is quantuum mechanics) it will just list all results.


I tried 15% of 51 and also queries like what is the population of Tokyo similar to the demo. It does not seem to want to speak the results back.


Which phone do you have? I suspect this could be disabled on older iPhones. I have a 4 and I don't get any voice feedback.


I tried it on iPhone 4 as well and it does speak some answers. Touch the "i" button on the left of the red microphone button and make sure "Speak answers back" at the bottom is turned on.


Interesting.

I can the "i" button in that video, but my app does not have it, and I don't get voice answers.

Edit: Switching to English (US) does give vocal answers, but then it doesn't seem to understand my South African accent anymore.


I am on the iPhone 5


For some reason I had English (Australian) active in the Google language settings even though I don't live there. It started reading the answers when I switched that to English (US).


Yes, that did the trick! English (US).


Under "Voice Search" in settings try changing the default language to US English.


This reminds me of how they "scrambled" to hire antenna engineers and similar job posts with iPhone 4 launch!
