Before the smartphone days, I used to work hard and take notes of the discussions that happens through conference calls.
With android, you got the automatic call recorder app. It records the whole call. You just have to play it back quick to collect & summarize the whole details of the meeting. You don't actually need to listen through the whole call, it's just matter of moving the slider quick on key points and wrap up.
Yesterday we had a very long call, I said I would share the minutes(summary) of the meeting. I slacked around the whole-yesterday. And today, I just sat down to start writing the notes. Now I see, the call had actually happened through hanguots and not through the phone-voice call. The call recorder I got works only with the GSM voice calls & not VOIP/Hangouts.  
Now I'll have to sit like this[^] and dig my own call recorder in brain.

Ah, technology, such great slaves, such unforgiving masters.

just wondering, does the call recorder app give any notice to other parties the call is being recorded?
recording calls without notice is considered illegal in many jurisdictions, even between friends ect.

It seems heavy handed to make the phone behave differently in different jurisdictions.
How would you even dog-food such a patch?
Take cars for instance. They're practically all manufactured to be capable of exceeding the speed limit. We don't change the engine-management code state by state simply in accordance with local speed-limits. We permit people the freedom to make the choice to behave well or poorly.
Would my phone notify others I was recording, even though we're legally able to record anything we want without informing the other party? I'm perfectly entitled to record a conversation with a police officer, even when I have hostile intent. The only thing I can't do, is make a recording with the intention of publishing it. I can in fact publish it, provided my circumstances had changed and I now had reasons for doing so.
I've managed people's behaviour on a number of occasions by either (0) recording the calls and informing the other party of this fact after some number of calls or (1) simply lying and saying I've done so. I don't threaten to do anything with the recordings, nor do I imply that I will. I simply state that I've recorded the past X hours of conversation in a bid to protect myself.
Invariably, the other party becomes fearful they've behaved poorly and that I now have proof of this.
Life has always been easier after I've pulled this move on someone behaving badly.

You can't say things like that and expect people not to do the exact opposite...
Yep, I fell for it.

For some things, a normal stick just won't do.

What search engine are you using? Bing results were totally SFW and KSS ... that said, I have SafeSearch set to "Moderate".
Perhaps you should reconsider your search settings

So, years ago I decided to be a good sport and donate a few bucks to Wikipedia. It's a useful site and all. So, ok cool.
Fast forward a bit. They put my email address on a mailing list so they could ask for more money down the road. No biggie, just ignore. Surely it's a one-time thing.
Fast forward again. Oh look they want more money from me. Not overly thrilled about being spammed over it I decided to unsubscribe from the list only slightly annoyed.
Let's fast forward some more shall we. Turns out unsubscribing doesn't mean jack sh*t to these people when it comes to asking for money. I get asked again. None to thrilled I delete the email. Not really sure if I unsubed on the email this time yet or not. When I start getting spammed by unsubs being ignored I tend not to play the "validate my email by clicking links" game.
Now here recently again, Wikipedia is going through another one of their campaigns to ask for money. Guess what? I get yet another email. I unsubscribed. Question is... will this be the last one? I doubt it.
Moral of the story... if you donate use a throw away email address.

Valuable advice!  Thanks!
This time they are only asking for $3 and I was contemplating helping them out. But now I have to create a disposable email addr. Hardly worth all the effort!

Yeah. The sad part is, I more than likely would've donated again had it not been for that.

On the other Hand ... all your complains are ok ... how one can drive something great like wiki without donations?

Can I have $5?

Stop using wiki in this case!
