Output from OouraFFT correct sometimes but completely false other times. Why ?

Hi I am using Ooura FFT to compute the FFT of the accelerometer data in windows of 1024 samples. The code works fine, but then for some reason it produces very strange outputs, i.e. continuous spectrum with amplitudes of the order of 10^200. Here is the code: OouraFFT *myFFT=[[OouraFFT alloc] initForSignalsOfLength:1024 NumWindows...

I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that when I'm moving an object around, I'm not "holding" it in the center of the object, but rather towards the left or right. This is my code so far... - (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event{ UITouch *myTouch = [[event allTouches] anyObject]; image1....

iPhone app -- are plists the way to handle default values and other languages?

I wrote my first program almost fifty years ago (yes, coding is still a blast, managing big projects with many programmers was not), but my Von Neumann thinking gets in the way. I want to (a) load default values and (b) account for multiple languages more elegantly (?) than 60-plus iterations of NSLocalizedString. Can I park all of thi...

Do Android/webOS devices support multi-touch Javascript events?

On iPhone, iPod touch and (presumably) iPad, Apple has multi-touch event handling available via JavaScript in Mobile Safari. I know the Nexus One recently added multi-touch support via an update, and I believe webOS is also multi-touch enabled. Do Android 2.1 and/or webOS have access to multi-touch in the browser, or is this currently ex...

How easy is it to hack a plist file in an app store app?

Don't worry, I'm not trying to hack someone else's app, if that's what you're thinking =). I want to have 2 versions of my app, a free version and a deluxe version. My plan was to use an in-app purchase to enable the deluxe version by setting a boolean value in the plist file. My question is: is this secure or is it easily circumvented...
