I think it is nice that we can buy something off the shelf just like everyone
else does. The rip off is the price they charge us for making these devices
assessable for the blind.
Personally I'm not into buying a computer and then paying the same price for a
screen reader.

Hi Mac Family:
I'm finally downloading my first ever NLS talking book into "downloads" on my
macbook Pro. The download speed is saying something like 39.something kb per
second. The downlad time appears to be nearly an hour, but the book is only a
13 hours long. This seems particularly slow.
It really is a wonderful device! Since I got mine on Saturday I have read
eBooks, taken notes in classes, uploaded documents to my iDisk, read an exam
while writing it on my mac, responded to countless emails, watched movies,
listened to music, and the list goes on. Eventually, I see the iPad a

Do you still have a problem or is this an older post?
You inquired about the EOF in an earlier post. EOF is just a token,
signaling the script to read from the standard input until it
encounters that token. Hence the EOF again in the last line.

Hi,
As I pointed out previously, iAds is not intrusive. It is a banner that you tap
if you wish to see it, and it scrolls down for you to see. It is also going to
be based on possibly your location, and what you are currently doing on your
iThingy. It is a much better system for sure, and can h
A bit harsh, are we? I agree with this statement, but I'm reenforcing the
point while ads are a pain in the ass, this is just how the market works.

Hi,
No, iAds won't work that way. It's a banner, you tap it and it'll scroll down.
It's not intrusive. Also, most likely, it will depend on your current location,
what you are currently doing, and so-on. Far from anything close to spyware,
and far from intrusive.

Hi folks,
I am disappointed with the introduction of IAds in IPhone 4.0. If I'm browsing
the web or looking at facebook and v o starts reading an ad, I would be
annoyed. Also, can we just say, ad ware for the IPhone? As in spyware?
