If space did not work reliably, I would not be using the onscreen braille input to take notes or write case notes at work. I am now almost as fast onscreen as I am on the braille keyboard, and expect to be as fast shortly. The problem some people are having is quite possibly the same problem I s

First, the thing about the iPhone 6 and 6+ bending is a hoax. Yes, you can break a phone if you really wanted to: but, then again, you can break any phone, not just iPhones. So far as IOS8 is concerned, IOS8.0.2 is a little buggy. I anticipate that we could see IOS8.1 at just around the time
