Who else searched for 'wrist'?

It'd be helpful to have timestamps (or even direct links to points in the presentation) so that we could refer to the slides for graphs and source.

Mattt strikes again!

This one surely comes in handy. I'm just wondering if Apple will be okay with the use of the subtitles. I sure hope so!

This is going to be a really great resource. Thanks for yet another great contribution to the community Mattt!

This is great. Where does the transcript data come from?

Please add support for older WWDC events. My test case fails, http://asciiwwdc.com/search?q=avfoundation

I think AV Foundation is two words, separated: http://asciiwwdc.com/search?q=AV+Foundation

But yes, all of the archives would be awesome if it's not on there already.

One thing I would suggest is to make the link to the video more obvious. I thought it was just an apple logo up there for no reason.

Where are the subtitle files? I've never seen them for download anywhere.

The iOS app uses them. Nicholas Riley was the first I saw to notice and grab them - presumably he sniffed the wire?

ASCII? Really?
