Stanford begins process to replace Harbaugh

STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford athletic director Bob Bowlsby has met with the entire Orange Bowl-winning Cardinal football staff since the departure of coach Jim Harbaugh to the San Francisco 49ers on Friday.
Bowlsby is moving ahead in his search for Harbaugh's replacement, first determining who the internal candidates might be. Bowlsby said Saturday he has spoken with each member of the staff but wouldn't categorize any of the sessions as formal interviews.
"I've talked to the whole coaching staff a number of times over the last day," Bowlsby said.
President John Hennessy - on hand at Maples Pavilion to honor women's basketball coach Tara VanDerveer for her recent 800th victory - said the school would like to find Harbaugh's replacement soon but also work to hire the right person. National signing day the first week of February is approaching in a hurry and there is recruiting to be done.

Technology: Google brings speech to search iPhone application

Voice commands on the phone aren't quite new to us now,but searching Google using your voice from your phone is something really new to us. The best thing is that you can use it and it's here,but the bad part is it's only available for the Apple’s iPhone. This feature might reach the Android market soon, but there isn’t any quick chance for markets such as Symbian.



It's quite easy to use the application.The application can answer location related questions (Finding the nearest Starbucks), give driving directions, respond to generic questions, and even search local data from the address book.It will record your voice, upload it to a Google Server via the data connection, process the data, and then return the results. Now, you may think that this process will take a long time but actually, the reports state it’s actually very quick. While not very perfect at this point, the new Google feature will be improved and will become big soon for sure.

The app will be free and might be available to download as soon as Friday
