I'm still not sure what it is you're doubting. Are you doubting speech recongition (it's not voice recognition) technology today can't accurately reco a collection of words from a single speaker? Or that the speech can't trigger macro commands through an IR interface? What's so hard to believe, other than someone would take the time to want to share this with others?
I dunno...he has better things to do with his time? Or maybe he's camera shy? (Have you ever seen a picture of me?)
I plan on playing with this over the weekend, and I'll let you know.
