Re: malwear and macs

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi,

That is dead-on the mark. I always just explain Mac OS X as "Unix with  
a GUI". Saying that, very few viruses do exist.

I would't worry about it to much, because the mac will ask you if

to install and tell you what is installing.
That is why it is hard to get a virus on a mac now.

RE: malwear and macs

[Joe Plummer]

Yes, this is correct and this making it more effort to write stuff for the
OS and they are not targeting that big of cline tell yet. Another words
writing something for a windows OS is easier and Windows still have 90
percent of the market making them a much better target. Just my thoughts.

Re: malwear and macs

[Chris Hofstader]

I noticed that a software update that arrived last week was related to 
security. I don't know what it does but it could be anything from standard UNIX 
like crypto stuff to malware related functionality.

Last I heard, though, was that there were no known virus for the Mac in the 
wild but some had been made in laboratories to see if it could be done and how 
they could be defeated.

cdh: Apple, as a private company is not required to provide free speech to its 
developers on AppStore. You can read their developer End User License Agreement 
(EULA) on the EFF web site which is the most restrictive I've ever seen. If you 
want to get your program onto AppStore you need to follow its restrictions 
which, in the latest version, actually requires a specific development 
environment (Apple's of course) to write the program. While I consider Adobe to 
be accessibility poison, their new write once, run many development tools look 
pretty cool but one is banned from using them on Mac for AppStore.

cdh: Apple has a long history of bad behavior regarding software freedom, 
including aggressive patent stances, lawsuits against a whole lot of different 
organizations for a wide variety of often obscure issues and making their OS 
restrict to their hardware - thus making the whole thing more expensive.

cdh: Apple products have a lot of excellent stuff in them but the company 
itself can be pretty nasty.

cdh: While not related specifically to Apple, the availability of pornography 
to kids versus the availability of books to blind people is a real piss off to 
me.

cdh: When a kid finds a porno site online, the only proof of age is typically a 
button that says, "I swear I am over 18" which has no way of verifying the 
veracity of the person who clicked the button. We have a Federal law that makes 
it illegal to sell porn to people under 18 years old so, if the person who 
pressed the button is a liar, the site is committing a Federal offense.

cdh: Meanwhile, we have a Federal law guaranteeing books for people with vision 
and other print impairments. To get to NLS, Bookshare, etc. we need to jump 
through hoops to prove that, indeed, we are blind. 

cdh: So, why is it much easier to break one law and follow another?

cdh: Apple, as a private company is not required to provide free speech to
its developers on AppStore. You can read their developer End User License
Agreement (EULA) on the EFF web site which is the most restrictive I've ever
seen. If you want to get your program onto AppStore you need to follow its
restrictions which, in the latest version, actually requires a specific
development environment (Apple's of course) to write the program. While I
consider Adobe to be accessibility poison, their new write once, run many
development tools look pretty cool but one is banned from using them on Mac
for AppStore.

cdh: Apple has a long history of bad behavior regarding software freedom,
including aggressive patent stances, lawsuits against a whole lot of
different organizations for a wide variety of often obscure issues and
making their OS restrict to their hardware - thus making the whole thing
more expensive.

cdh: Apple products have a lot of excellent stuff in them but the company
itself can be pretty nasty.

Re: MLB at bat app closing

[Esther]

Hello Ricardo,

Could this behavior of the app closing be related to the question Juan  
asked a while ago about other radio streams closing?  Paul mentioned  
an answer in the ooTunes FAQ (but this was in a period of very high  
list traffic).  I'll excerpt what might be the relevant item from the  
ooTunes app FAQ:


http://ootunes.com/app/FAQ/#30
Q: Why does the radio/music stop playing after 30 minutes of having  
the screen locked (if your ipod/iphone is not plugged into a power  
source)?
A: This is a limitation of all 3rd party applications on the iPhone.  
Apple automatically turns off the network after 30 minutes of being  
locked, regardless of if the current application is using it. For now  
you can turn off the "automatic sleep" feature for ooTunes Radio in  
the ooTunes preferences in apple's "Settings" app. Hopefully in the  
future, Apple will change this, but they probably do it to conserve  
the battery. This only occurs if it is not plugged into a power  
source. We may be able to buffer more than the current song for  
playback without the network. However, that's not possible for a live  
stream.


Note that although the answer refers to live streams, it's a general  
issue for network access listening when the user is not doing anything  
but listening to material through a network connection using a third  
party app while not connected to a power source.  I don't believe this  
is an issue if your device is connected to a power source (which could  
be the battery in your case, an external battery pack, or a USB  
charger) while you're listening for more than 30 minutes.


HTH

Cheers,

Esther

Re: MLB at bat app closing

[Ricardo Walker]

Hi Esther,

I had caught that post .  I thought about it so I timed some of my usage.  In 
the instances where the app closed, I was listening to the stream for less than 
10 minutes each time except 1.  This time, the app closed after 42 minutes.  I 
think I might try reinstalling the app.

Thank you for the suggestion.  This is a real head scratch for me.

changed it mind
This is like saying you can surf the internet but here is where
you can go
and read and this it. This is not right for adults. Now for
children under
the age of 18 this might have some value. So they I think should
say yes you
can have it on the store but because of the nature of the app you
need to
have some kind of age verification. But this is my thoughts and I

Subject: Fwd: Apple regulating news and political content???

I got this and thought it would be of  interest to some n the
list.  Not
sure  what I think yet.
Carolyn


   Mark Fiore's job is making fun of political figures. And he's
actually quite good at it, according to the Pulitzer Prize Committee.

   Earlier this week it named him the winner of the Pulitzer
Prize in
editorial cartooning, but Apple rejected an iPhone app containing
Fiore's
cartoons in
   December. The reason? Apple said applications that
ridicule public
figures are not allowed.

   That presents a problem for Fiore, and all editorial
cartoonists and
political satirists who'd like to submit their work to the App
Store for
that matter,
   because, well, that's what they do.

   Luckily for Fiore, the Nieman Journalism Lab took up his
cause and
wrote about his app's rejection. A day later Apple relented, and
on Friday
asked Fiore
   to resubmit. The New York Times reported Friday afternoon
that Steve
Jobs himself called it "a mistake that's being fixed." That's
great for
Fiore, but
   not every political satirist is a Pulitzer winner who can get
publicity for his app's unfair rejection.

   So what does that mean for the future of news or editorial
products
on the iPad and iPhone? It's safe to assume that quashing
political satire
isn't Apple's
   goal here. But it's a legitimate concern for the journalism
community that to be featured on the App Store they have to
submit their
news content to a
   company unafraid to exercise what sometimes seems like
arbitrary
control. The thinking goes, what if Apple finds a headline
offensive? Or
what if there's
   an unfavorable article about Apple itself even? That's not
to say
Apple would do that, but its inconsistent handling of App Store
submissions
sets a troubling
   precedent.

   The rejected-then-unrejected brouhaha surrounding Fiore's
cartoon
app, and others like it--the Mad Magazine artist's Bobble Rep app
comes to
mind--also
   illuminate the central issue facing Apple with the App
Store right
now. The company's decision to tightly control what is and is not
allowed on
the iPhone
   or iPad has led it to develop a review process that is not
sustainable.

The ipad has arrived and a question about movies

[Yuma Antoine Decaux]

Hi list,

So my shiny new mirror has arrived, and i can imagine all the things one can do 
with it. The whole thing is nice and solid, the sound is rather booming and 
nice, registration always a bit long, and mobile me kinda mysterious and not 
working yet. Will figure that last one out, but i have One thing i'd like to 
know:

How do i know a movie can be played on the ipad? I have a presentation to make 
tomorrow and i need to figure which format suits the ipad.

Can anyone help me or found out the stuff?

Or better, has anyone got a pdf on some of the features i can grab?


Anyway, its there, and i really like it.

ost mWilore questions i guess when i encounter some really difficult ones. Or 
maybe real easy ones and im a fool

Cheers

Re: MLB at bat app closing

[John J Herzog]

Hi listers, 
I have the at bat application, and it also keeps closing for me.  
Interestingly, I have found a workaround. 
If you click on the audio stream you want, and it starts playing, you can then 
click the hide button. Next, click back, so that you get into the main screen 
of the at bat app. You can then listen to the audio stream as long as you want. 
I think the reason this may be happening is that, as the audio plays, there are 
updates to the game statistics. These are not accessible with voiceover on the 
audio screen, but it is meant to allow people to see them while they listen to 
the game. As these stats update, it seems to crash the app as voiceover is 
being used. I am guessing this is the case, because on some streams, the app 
crashes immediately upon the conclusion of every play.

 I have been having some trouble with the MLB at bat 2010 app.  It will 
 just close similar to the facebook app.  I thought it might be a voiceover 
 thing so I turned it off while listening to a live broadcast of my 
 Yankees.  The app still closed even with vo turned off.  I don't even have 
 to be listening to a live broadcast.  It has occurred while viewing video 
 highlights too.  I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this

Re: Two iPad questions.

[Esther]

Hi Jesse,

If you have epub files, you should just be able to add them to iTunes  
(Command-O shortcut for "Add to Library", then navigate the dialogue  
window as you would for Finder and press (VO-Space) the Open button).  
They'll show up under "Books" in your iTunes sources table.  This  
category now holds both eBooks and Audiobooks.  If you want to read  
these on your iPad in iBooks, they'll have to be DRM-free files, and  
you'll need to have the iBooks app -- which is only downloadable if  
your account is with the U.S. iTunes store, according to what I've  
read.  To sync the files you would connect the iPad to your Mac,  
select the device in your sources table, stop interacting, then  
navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the "Books" tab for the iPad, VO-Space to  
press, then check the box to "Sync Books" and either "Sync All" or  
check the selections you want to sync.


If the iPad's apps are like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you should be  
able to double tap the iTunes app, and either select Podcasts and look  
through the selected podcasts in various categories or do a Search and  
type in a particular podcast series.  These downloads are individual  
episode selections, and are separate from the way iTunes on your  
computer handles subscriptions.


HTH

Cheers,

Esther

Hi all,

Just two quick qwuestions:

1. Is there a way to get epub files I have to the iPad?

2. I know we can sink podcasts from the mac to iPads. Can we use the  
built-in itunes on the iPad to download them as well?


Thanks for the help,

Audio tutorial on how to drag and drop samples into Garageband projects

[Ricardo Walker]

Hello list,

Here is a quick audio tutorial on how to drag  and drop apple loops and, your 
own samples into a garageband project.  I was using Snow leopard with 
garageband 5 which is found in iLife 2009.  Heres the link to the audio 
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5326929/How%20to%20import%20your%20own%20samples%20into%20a%20garageband%20project.mp3

This is only the 2nd time I've done something like this so excuse my stutters.

Hi Jesse,

If you have epub files, you should just be able to add them to iTunes 
(Command-O shortcut for "Add to Library", then navigate the dialogue 
window as you would for Finder and press (VO-Space) the Open button). 
They'll show up under "Books" in your iTunes sources table.  This 
category now holds both eBooks and Audiobooks.  If you want to read 
these on your iPad in iBooks, they'll have to be DRM-free files, and 
you'll need to have the iBooks app -- which is only downloadable if 
your account is with the U.S. iTunes store, according to what I've 
read.  To sync the files you would connect the iPad to your Mac, 
select the device in your sources table, stop interacting, then 
navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the "Books" tab for the iPad, VO-Space to 
press, then check the box to "Sync Books" and either "Sync All" or 
check the selections you want to sync.


If the iPad's apps are like the iPod Touch and iPhone, you should be 
able to double tap the iTunes app, and either select Podcasts and look 
through the selected podcasts in various categories or do a Search and 
type in a particular podcast series.  These downloads are individual 
episode selections, and are separate from the way iTunes on your 
computer handles subscriptions.

Esther

Re: Apple regulating news and political content???

[Chris Blouch]

Two items glossed over.

1. The web is still open and Apple has no control over the content you 
care to surf to with a browser. It's only applications which get 
downloaded and installed on the phone/pad/pod they have a hand in. So if 
somebody has content they want to have presented on an iPhone there is 
nothing stopping them from putting it on a web page.


2. There should be some differentiation between an application review 
and a content review. I would imagine, short of the 18+ check, there is 
no real limitation on the content of an ibook that somebody can buy and 
likewise I wouldn't think that Apple should care about content presented 
in an iPhone app, assuming the same adherence to an 18+ ruleset. 
Stepping into the role of content police is a quagmire Apple should avoid.

some layer of protection...but i don't know. 

cdh: While not related specifically to Apple, the availability of 
pornography to kids versus the availability of books to blind people 
is a real piss off to me.


cdh: When a kid finds a porno site online, the only proof of age is 
typically a button that says, "I swear I am over 18" which has no way 
of verifying the veracity of the person who clicked the button. We 
have a Federal law that makes it illegal to sell porn to people under 
18 years old so, if the person who pressed the button is a liar, the 
site is committing a Federal offense.


cdh: Meanwhile, we have a Federal law guaranteeing books for people 
with vision and other print impairments. To get to NLS, Bookshare, 
etc. we need to jump through hoops to prove that, indeed, we are blind. 


cdh: So, why is it much easier to break one law and follow another?

   Mark Fiore's job is making fun of political figures. And he's
actually quite good at it, according to the Pulitzer Prize Committee.

   Earlier this week it named him the winner of the Pulitzer
Prize in
editorial cartooning, but Apple rejected an iPhone app containing
Fiore's
cartoons in
   December. The reason? Apple said applications that
ridicule public
figures are not allowed.

   That presents a problem for Fiore, and all editorial
cartoonists and
political satirists who'd like to submit their work to the App
Store for
that matter,
   because, well, that's what they do.

   Luckily for Fiore, the Nieman Journalism Lab took up his
cause and
wrote about his app's rejection. A day later Apple relented, and
on Friday
asked Fiore
   to resubmit. The New York Times reported Friday afternoon
that Steve
Jobs himself called it "a mistake that's being fixed." That's
great for
Fiore, but
   not every political satirist is a Pulitzer winner who can get
publicity for his app's unfair rejection.

   So what does that mean for the future of news or editorial
products
on the iPad and iPhone? It's safe to assume that quashing
political satire
isn't Apple's
   goal here. But it's a legitimate concern for the journalism
community that to be featured on the App Store they have to
submit their
news content to a
   company unafraid to exercise what some

Re: remote access / desktop support

[Chris Blouch]

There was a thread about this a while back so check the archives. I 
believe the tricky bit was audio and screen readers on the remote 
machine. Free screen sharing tools like VNC pass keyboard/mouse events 
to a remote machine and mirror that machine's display in a window on 
your machine. The systems break in two places:


1. Audio from the remote machine is often not mirrored back so whatever 
speech is going on there won't be audible.


2. Even if audio is mirrored back, the remote machine may not have a 
screen reader installed so you'll still have to slog through that process.


Probably #1 is the bigger issue and I thought somebody mentioned a 
screen sharing package that did audio. Too bad about VNC since there is 
a VNC server built into OSX. Anything else or any other OS will need the 
screen sharing software installed on the remote box.

RE: Apple regulating news and political content???

[Bryan Smart]

While I agree with your FSF software freedom philosophies in general, the 
reality is that, had the iPhone and iPad been free/open, it wouldn't be as 
stable or as accessible.

Apple has lots of technology related rules about how you can develop your 
program. While there are lots of rules about what you can't do, and what tools 
and techniques you can't use, they all stem from people wanting to build 
software in a way that goes against Apple's design for the iPhones/iPads. 
Apple's design is to have a platform that is stable, that is free from rogue 
software, and that is intuitive and consistently operated. Your software is 
intended to be written in C, C++, or ObjectC, and isn't intended to use APIs 
that are any higher or lower level than the Foundation and UI kit frameworks. 
That isn't some plan to ruin your business possibilities or shut down your 
freedom. That is a deliberate decision that is intended to avoid the traps that 
most other smartphones and PDAs have fallen in to. The I devices have been 
successful specifically because of this approach.

I think that we had a discussion about iPhone/iPad development languages here 
already. The reasons for requiring C/C++/ObjectC are because of performance. 
The I devices use a 1Ghz or less processor with practically no cache memory and 
a slow memory controller. They have way less computational power than a 1Ghz 
desktop processor. They would be terrible at running interpreted run-times for 
high level languages. The lack of interpreted run-times is why the I devices 
seem to run so much faster than the Android devices, which have practically all 
of their applications written in Java.

Another problem with run-times is that Apple would become dependent on them for 
the software that they host. if Apple needs to change a small part of the 
Foundation or UI kit frameworks in an OS update, then this would only break the 
few apps that used those features, and only until they could be updated. If a 
change like that broke a run-time, Apple would be blocked by Adobe or another 
run-time provider until they could update their run-time. We know how eager 
Adobe hasn't been to do anything about flash on the Mac desktop. I suppose that 
this, among other lessons, taught Apple that they can't afford to be ignored by 
a 3rd party developer.

Even if the problem with updating run-times didn't exist, run-times would make 
the accessibility situation worse for us. As things stand today, if you want to 
create an app for an I device, you must create it from scratch, targeted 
specifically to the I device, and must use Apple's standard APIs. If Apple 
permitted high level languages and frameworks, then we'd have a lot of apps 
that were simply ports from other platforms with a user interface proxy layer 
to get their existing user interface to display on the I device. These 
attempts, no matter the platform, seem to always be profound hacks. The 
resulting interface never quite works like a native app's interface, and the 
accessibility is almost universally poor to nonexistent. It's no surprise, 
since, instead of having to use Apple APIs to do things like create a window 
and populate it with user interface objects, the developer's proxy layer is 
just as likely to create a window with a canvas object and directly draw their 
entire interface in to this single object. For sighted people, this means that 
the interface of these apps won't work as they expect. For blind people, it 
means that the app won't talk. Since I device apps must be written specifically 
for the I devices, and since the native UI objects have accessibility support 
inherently included, we get a fair amount of accessibility to an app, even if 
the developer didn't make any specific effort to make their app accessible. On 
my Symbian devices, there are lots of cross-platform apps that bypass the 
native user interface support, and do things their own way. That's partly why 
we have practically no accessible Symbian apps when compared to what is 
available on the I devices. The situation is very much the same on Windows 
Mobile.

Finally, Apple does compel you to use their compiler and dev tools, true. 
However, this isn't a play for your money, as everything, from the compiler, to 
the IDE, to the emulator, to the SDK are available for free. Forcing all apps 
to be built with their compiler means that they can adjust optimizations to 
code compilation in one place, and all apps will benefit. Since everyone will 
be building from their SDK app templates in Xcode, this decreases the 
likelihood that noobie developers will bork a compile flag and cause a 
performance problem or conflict.

As for code signing and the app store, I like this the least, but I understand 
that it's necessary for security and ease of software distribution.

When it comes to security, you'll never see any substantial malware or viruses 
on an I device, as, once an app like that is discovered, Apple can pull the 
plug o

RE: remote access / desktop support

Yes, it would be great if we could remotely connect to other Macs with speech. 
However, my main need is to be able to connect back to my Macs when I'm not at 
home. If I have to install some 3rd-party tool, that's fine. If I have to pay, 
that's fine. I just want to know if it can be done in any way.

Hmm, iChat didn't do the audio, at least not on 10.5. Maybe they fixed

Subject: Re: remote access / desktop support

There was a thread about this a while back so check the archives. I believe the 
tricky bit was audio and screen readers on the remote machine. Free screen 
sharing tools like VNC pass keyboard/mouse events to a remote machine and 
mirror that machine's display in a window on your machine. The systems break in 
two places:

1. Audio from the remote machine is often not mirrored back so whatever speech 
is going on there won't be audible.

2. Even if audio is mirrored back, the remote machine may not have a screen 
reader installed so you'll still have to slog through that process.

Probably #1 is the bigger issue and I thought somebody mentioned a screen 
sharing package that did audio. Too bad about VNC since there is a VNC server 
built into OSX. Anything else or any other OS will need the screen sharing 
software installed on the remote box.

Re: Apple regulating news and political content???

[Chris Blouch]

I think one the biggest sticking points for Apple is the slow pace of 
new feature/fix prorogation if there are more layers added to the stack. 
If Apple had a new super-slick X feature and they had allowed 
Flash/Silverlight/Java/Whatever, applications made with those secondary 
layers that wouldn't implement X until Adobe (Microsoft, Oracle) updated 
their stuff and users installed it in sufficient numbers. That lag moves 
control of innovation out of Apple's hands and into Adobe's or 
Microsoft's, giving their competitor's a nice big lever to squeeze Apple 
if needed. Those who've been around a while know that this game has been 
played many times before where key technologies were lacking or late on 
the Apple platform, driving customers to competing systems. I think 
Apple was pretty smart this time to make sure they hold all they strings 
on their new platform. Sure that means they can also abuse their powers 
to the detriment of their own developers, but that's sticking it to 
themselves if they go down that path.


Add in that historically all cross-platform development environments 
have generally been used to churn out the lamest of packages and 
generally end up favoring one (non-Mac) platform anyway. Why would 
anyone want that? The converse is that the best packages always end up 
being custom built for a particular platform in that platform's best 
IDE. At least I'm not familiar with any exceptions.

Bryan Smart wrote:

While I agree with your FSF software freedom philosophies in general, the 
reality is that, had the iPhone and iPad been free/open, it wouldn't be as 
stable or as accessible.

Apple has lots of technology related rules about how you can develop your 
program. While there are lots of rules about what you can't do, and what tools 
and techniques you can't use, they all stem from people wanting to build 
software in a way that goes against Apple's design for the iPhones/iPads. 
Apple's design is to have a platform that is stable, that is free from rogue 
software, and that is intuitive and consistently operated. Your software is 
intended to be written in C, C++, or ObjectC, and isn't intended to use APIs 
that are any higher or lower level than the Foundation and UI kit frameworks. 
That isn't some plan to ruin your business possibilities or shut down your 
freedom. That is a deliberate decision that is intended to avoid the traps that 
most other smartphones and PDAs have fallen in to. The I devices have been 
successful specifically because of this approach.

I think that we had a discussion about iPhone/iPad development languages here 
already. The reasons for requiring C/C++/ObjectC are because of performance. 
The I devices use a 1Ghz or less processor with practically no cache memory and 
a slow memory controller. They have way less computational power than a 1Ghz 
desktop processor. They would be terrible at running interpreted run-times for 
high level languages. The lack of interpreted run-times is why the I devices 
seem to run so much faster than the Android devices, which have practically all 
of their applications written in Java.

Another problem with run-times is that Apple would become dependent on them for 
the software that they host. if Apple needs to change a small part of the 
Foundation or UI kit frameworks in an OS update, then this would only break the 
few apps that used those features, and only until they could be updated. If a 
change like that broke a run-time, Apple would be blocked by Adobe or another 
run-time provider until they could update their run-time. We know how eager 
Adobe hasn't been to do anything about flash on the Mac desktop. I suppose that 
this, among other lessons, taught Apple that they can't afford to be ignored by 
a 3rd party developer.

Even if the problem with updating run-times didn't exist, run-times would make 
the accessibility situation worse for us. As things stand today, if you want to 
create an app for an I device, you must create it from scratch, targeted 
specifically to the I device, and must use Apple's standard APIs. If Apple 
permitted high level languages and frameworks, then we'd have a lot of apps 
that were simply ports from other platforms with a user interface proxy layer 
to get their existing user interface to display on the I device. These 
attempts, no matter the platform, seem to always be profound hacks. The 
resulting interface never quite works like a native app's interface, and the 
accessibility is almost universally poor to nonexistent. It's no surprise, 
since, instead of having to use Apple APIs to do things like create a window 
and populate it with user interface objects, the developer's proxy layer is 
just as likely to create a window with a canvas object and directly draw their 
entire interface in to this single object. For sighted people, this means that 
the interface of these apps won't work as they expect. For blind people, it 
means that the app won't talk. Since I device ap

Switching libraries in Itunes

[Courtney Curran]

Hi,
I was wondring how and if I can switch between two different libraries in 
Itunes. I'd like to do this because I'm making a CD for a friend, and I don't 
feel like sifting through all my music to find the ones he wants. I could 
search, but that would take way too long.
Thanks,
Courtney

Re: Switching libraries in Itunes

It's pritty easey. First you open Itunes but as you open it you need to hold 
down the comand key. This will bring up the Itunes dilog asking what you want 
to do. Eather make a new libarey or swich to a differnt one.

Thanks so much, now I can make his surprise CD's. I knew there was a way, 
because I've done it inadvertently before, but I didn't know what I did.

Hi Courtney,

The way I use multiple libraries in iTunes is to first sign out of
iTunes then restart the program.  If it was not running you can skip
that step.  Start the program and then immediately hold down the
option key.  itunes will start up in a area where you can create and
change libraries.

I hope this helps.

Eric

RE: Apple regulating news and political content???

[Joe Plummer]

Well, apple has every right to say how something is developed to be put on
the iPhone. But if all the development are meet and the app does not break
any federal laws, then filtering out any kind of news content is not right.
Or any other kind of press as far as that goes. Yes maybe you should have a
disclaimer our/ age verfarircation of some kind. Also maybe they should
offer some kind of parental control for parents if they should want them.
But just refusing apps just because you don't agree with the content is not
right. Just my thoughts.

Subject: RE: Apple regulating news and political content???

While I agree with your FSF software freedom philosophies in general, the
reality is that, had the iPhone and iPad been free/open, it wouldn't be as
stable or as accessible.

Apple has lots of technology related rules about how you can develop your
program. While there are lots of rules about what you can't do, and what
tools and techniques you can't use, they all stem from people wanting to
build software in a way that goes against Apple's design for the
iPhones/iPads. Apple's design is to have a platform that is stable, that is
free from rogue software, and that is intuitive and consistently operated.
Your software is intended to be written in C, C++, or ObjectC, and isn't
intended to use APIs that are any higher or lower level than the Foundation
and UI kit frameworks. That isn't some plan to ruin your business
possibilities or shut down your freedom. That is a deliberate decision that
is intended to avoid the traps that most other smartphones and PDAs have
fallen in to. The I devices have been successful specifically because of
this approach.

I think that we had a discussion about iPhone/iPad development languages
here already. The reasons for requiring C/C++/ObjectC are because of
performance. The I devices use a 1Ghz or less processor with practically no
cache memory and a slow memory controller. They have way less computational
power than a 1Ghz desktop processor. They would be terrible at running
interpreted run-times for high level languages. The lack of interpreted
run-times is why the I devices seem to run so much faster than the Android
devices, which have practically all of their applications written in Java.

Another problem with run-times is that Apple would become dependent on them
for the software that they host. if Apple needs to change a small part of
the Foundation or UI kit frameworks in an OS update, then this would only
break the few apps that used those features, and only until they could be
updated. If a change like that broke a run-time, Apple would be blocked by
Adobe or another run-time provider until they could update their run-time.
We know how eager Adobe hasn't been to do anything about flash on the Mac
desktop. I suppose that this, among other lessons, taught Apple that they
can't afford to be ignored by a 3rd party developer.

Even if the problem with updating run-times didn't exist, run-times would
make the accessibility situation worse for us. As things stand today, if you
want to create an app for an I device, you must create it from scratch,
targeted specifically to the I device, and must use Apple's standard APIs.
If Apple permitted high level languages and frameworks, then we'd have a lot
of apps that were simply ports from other platforms with a user interface
proxy layer to get their existing user interface to display on the I device.
These attempts, no matter the platform, seem to always be profound hacks.
The resulting interface never quite works like a native app's interface, and
the accessibility is almost universally poor to nonexistent. It's no
surprise, since, instead of having to use Apple APIs to do things like
create a window and populate it with user interface objects, the developer's
proxy layer is just as likely to create a window with a canvas object and
directly draw their entire interface in to this single object. For sighted
people, this means that the interface of these apps won't work as they
expect. For blind people, it means that the app won't talk. Since I device
apps must be written specifically for the I devices, and since the native UI
objects have accessibility support inherently included, we get a fair amount
of accessibility to an app, even if the developer didn't make any specific
effort to make their app accessible. On my Symbian devices, there are lots
of cross-platform apps that bypass the native user interface support, and do
things their own way. That's partly why we have practically no accessible
Symbian apps when compared to what is available on the I devices. The
situation is very much the same on Windows Mobile.

Finally, Apple does compel you to use their compiler and dev tools, tru

Why won't my Macbook take XP in Bootcamp, and now my VO quit as well

[Brent Harding]

Hi there. I think one problem created the other here. I have my Macbook that 
I got on Ebay in 2008, so I know it must be Intel. I know it's a dual 
2.something gig with 4 gigs of ram and the guy updated it to a 250 gig hard 
drive. Last night when I had sighted assistance available, I tried to get 
bootcamp running. I had snow leopard installed, but not those 900 mb of 
updates. I created the windows partition, made it equal share with the mac, 
that slider isn't accessible with VO, can't find it, 32 gigs may be too 
small, or 5 or whatever it is. Then I reboot with my newly bought from Ebay 
XP disk that has service pack two, hitting on start the installer from boot 
camp. I know the CD is good, and it boots straight to a black screen with a 
flashing white cursor, no text anywhere. I tried my other XP disk from the 
PC, that one did the same, so I know I don't have two bad disks, or not 
likely. Then, I decided to apply all the updates to Snow Leopard, now VO 
won't speak any more and Windows still won't boot the install from CD 
either, same pesky flashing cursor with nothing else on the screen. How do I 
force Windows on to this thing as I do some net radio and may need it for my 
software should I have to bring the machine somewhere else when my time slot 
comes? Also, some card games require it. Another thing that update did was 
screw VO up beyond repair, at least after the login prompt it doesn't come 
back. It appears to as dad was reading me stuff that Alex should've been 
speaking, but it's not. I need one rtf file out of the machine before I 
reinstall everything as I wrote down my mobile speak userid in it, and I've 
since lost the email with it in, got to love Imap sometimes. Is there 
anything I can do from the DVD to get at my files? I think I used file 
vault, and I know my password. Is there any way out of this mess?


Thanks.

Re: radio gaga

[Ryan Mann]

Hello.  You might want to try Iheart Radio.
http://iheartradio.com
I am able to select the format of stations I am looking for, then select the 
station.  The only problem I have is that I can't figure out how to add a 
station to the favorites.  That is probably because I am still getting use to 
using the Iphone gestures.

stupid question alert: spell checking a selection in text edit or anywhere else for that matter

[Sarah Alawami]

Hello to all. How do I spell check a selection in text edit or anywhere?

I selected the text and hit command shift semicolon and it spellchecked the 
document not the selection. Did I do something wrong?

thanks.

hey Sarah,
command shift semicolon will spellcheck the entire document. you can do it 
manually word by word with command semicolon and then VO shift m to bring up 
the contextual menu for the list of suggestions.

Oh there's no way to just check a selection of text then? because in the web

curious about podcasts

[Maxwell Ivey Jr.]

Hello group;  I'm hoping for some general suggestions as well as some  
specific information.  I'm considering adding pod casts to my site.   
I'm using a macbook 13 inch running regular leopard.  How do I record  
the information so that it can be uploaded?  what software do I need  
if any to set up the pod casts where people can listen to them or  
download them later.  I'm assuming feed subscription is handled  
similarly to how it is done for my regular blog.  Can pod casts help  
visibility of a site or drive new traffic?  basically how hard is it?   
and then what kinds of things should be included in podcasts and which  
should be avoided?  my goal is to promote my site and business with  
the hope of making more sales.  I was thinking of interviews or  
possible a discussion group like on lioncourt; but i don't have the  
first clue how they manage that.  do they use skype i wonder so that  
the conversation is recorded to their hard drive from there.  I know i  
have my blog and email mailing lists, but many of my friends think i  
need a regular outlet that reaches everyone in my contacts and then  
some.  I'll appreciate any help.  I hope to hear from some of our  
experts soon.  Thanks, max
