Re: netflix movie streams
I play them often. Starting a movie is no problem, but you can't interact with the player's controls once it's playing. So, you can't pause, rewind, etc. Rafael Bejarano On Feb 18, 2010, at 9:14 PM, jd wrote: Is there any way to play the netflix movie streams on the mac?

Strangnesses with a Logitech Usb headset
Hi, I have a problem with two Logitech Clearchat Pro usb headsets. At first i thought there was something wrong with the first headset, because everyone thought it was a very good headset, so i bought a new one, turns out it's the same problem. What happens is that the sound from the mike of the headset is very very low, thin and screechy with not much bass at all. This is strange since i've heard usb headsets of the same brand that sounds really good. There is also a constant hum around 50 Hz which is what our power is at here in Sweden. This 50 Hz hum can be somewhat eluminated if i constantly hold my hand on either the Mac or the keybord, an aluminum keyboard that i got with my Imac, but that shouldn't be necessary, after all isn't the meaning with headsets that you should keep hands free? Because the mike volume is so terribly low compared to everything else, i wonder is there any setting i should try on the Mac and if so where is it? I have tried the settings under the system preferences/audio configuration. Mike is on 100% volume both gain and volume so it should be very loud, but it isn't. Do i need a preamp for this headset? Shouldn't be necessary i think since after all it's a headset and a preamp should be built in. I can't find any solutions to this problem and it drives me up the walls, especially since i'm going to get interviewed next sunday and we have already made recordings with the built-in mic, (sounded horrible) and the old usb headset, (sounded also horrible due to the thin sound). Any help would be most appreciated. /Krister -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

help with buying transmit.
Hi guys, I'm trying to buy transmit for a client. Unfortunately the payment method radio buttons arent labelled. One is obviously a credit card option because when checked it shows edit fields related to credit card data. The other shows nothing except the process button, and I'm wondering if theyll expect a check in the mail if I hit that button, or if it will take me to paypal so I can pay that way. Any ideas?

Currently, the answer is no, but apparently Microsoft are planning to write MS Office 2010 in CoCo which should allow for VO accessibility. Of course, it depends on how well MS write the code etc but theoretically, MS Office 2010 will be accessible. You could also use IWork 09 which reads and writes doc files and Excel files etc. This is Apple's office suite, and it is very accessible. However, they still need to do a bit of work on it.

SSD?
Hi list, I read that SSD's increase disk read/write speeds by a 2 multiplier, and checked some of the options out there so that i can use the SSD for the SL OS, but found incredibly high prices. The best though that i found is the OCZ SDD 2.5 drive specially made for the mac with a speed of 249MBps/Seconds for read and 170MBPS/Seconds for write. Their 256GB model goes for about 399 which is way out of price. Does anyone know where i can find some smaller capacity drives with about the same R/W performance?

definitions immediately listed on spotlight and other methods
Hi List, I have started being trigger-happy with the spotlight features which i tweaked for my liking, and though i really like the possibilities, i'd prefer going through another method which i haven't been able to emulate. Here is the following method: When you have a word in text edit or mail or any 64 bit enabled app that you want to define or find synonyms for, the sighted user can highlight the word and press command shift D and click to get an instant popup of the above listed definition+synonyms. I've tried this but i get nothing appearing nor any sounds which let me know that i've accessed the feature. I've assigned root mouse cursor to VO cursor on my trackpad so that i can do the job quickly but nothing happens. Has anyone been luckier in this manipulation? It would be an amazing shortcut when writing long papers.
