Google Accessibility

Hey Listers, I am asking for your assistance. I have started a petition on Change .Org for Google Accessibility. I started this petition because Google declared to the world they were dedicated to Accessibility. However; their actions do not reflect this statement. Of course browsers and emai

Hi all. First of all, does anyone know how to simply check the status of a microphone to see if its actually working without having to start an app? I have a logitech USB headset microphone, and I think the mic may be broken, but I'm not sure. secondly, what is the best youtube client out there

Re: Google Accessibility

You have very valid points on 1 and 3, but for the sake of being on topic in this list. Your argument about devices should NOT be mentioned in your petition. Here, you're preaching to the choir, but publicly, you're starting a war, and your arguments are weak. We should leave that subject out.

Re: Google Accessibility

I think point 2 should stay. It is not device-specific, but rather a general point that many accessibility features have to be downloaded separately on Android in general. There is no way to say that without people knowing you are talking about using Android devices. Perhaps the bit about not kn

Re: Boot Camp

The other nice thing about VMWare is you don't have to reboot your Mac into 'windows mode' and reboot again to get back to your mac. VMWare is just another app you run when you need to do some Windows stuff and then you quit it. Bootcamp also wants you to partition your hard drive into Mac and

Another feature I like with vmware that is often overlooked, is copy and pasting between the 2 devices. You can put something on your clip board on the windows side, and paste it to the mac side, and the same goes for the mac side, you can copy somethig to the mac clip board, and paste it in wi

At least there is accessibility on android, and you don't have to pay $1200 to receive accessibility on android. I think number two should be removed personally, unless you plan to go soon Microsoft, Gateway, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, etc. because they don't include accessibility features in their

Just to add to this, Google+ is accessible in Windows. I haven't tried using it on my Mac, but if it isn't accessible on the Mac, then it's a Google-Voiceover issue. Donna On May 18, 2013, at 9:03 AM, Michael Babcock wrote: > At least there is accessibility on android, and you don't have to p

Re: Google Accessibility

Actually, given how much access is an individual thing, why is 100% the measure for anyone? What you think is accessible not not apply to another person even if they have the same label. People choose the device that works for them. Some want a touch screen, some want keys like those with

Re: burning an mp3 cd with iTunes

If all the songs in the playlist are mp3 then when you go to burn the CD it will ask if you want an Audio CD or MP3 CD. So if you have m4a files you'll need to convert those to mp3 first. If you don't have the Import Settings in Preferences set to MP3 you'll need to go there and make your choic

Switching to VMWare from bootcamp

I assume the first things to do for the switch is to 1) de-authorize any software licenses on the windows bootcamp side, like jaws, MS-Office etc. Also to save any data I want to keep. 2) from the Mac side, eliminate the bootcamp partition via the bootcamp utility 3) purchase and install VMWare

Re: Switching to VMWare from bootcamp

Actually there is a way in Vmware to either import the bootcamp partition and create a virtual machine out of it, or create a virtual machine which boots directly to the Bootcamp partition. In my guide on setting up Bootcamp without sighted assistance at www.applevis.com I show you how to impor

Re: Switching to VMWare from bootcamp

Actually, fusion will allow you to use your boot camp copy of windows in a virtual machine, so you may not have to go through all of that, however, creating a new virtual machine will offer you a few advantages. It's one file, so it's very easy to back up. If something happens to your copy of wi
