If the idea is to hear voices, coming in over a standard 8 khz gsm signal
wouldn't be as fun as using voip with a better quality codec.

Safari's autocompletion comes from both your web history and your bookmarks.
Clearing your history will wipe out most of them (go to the history menu and
select clear history). However, keep in mind that any items you have in your
bookmarks will still be autocompleted.

Hi all,
So, I'm back on Mac (finally) now that Lion has fixed all of the bugs I
considered show stoppers in Snow Leopard. It's good to be back, however, I'm

on QT seem to be accessible anymore. These include TeamTalk

Hi all,
A while back I posted a question on this list about applications written with
the QT GUI toolkit. They worked on my previous Macs but not my current one.
After a lot of fiddling around, I know have a solution to get QT applications
working as they once did:

My guess is that it's because there are no external costs when developing a Mac

Hi
Voiceover itself can't do this, but you can use the system voices to
accomplish it in conjunction with Automater. You would set up an
Automater workflow to get all text in the current document, then text
to audio file, then import to iTunes with the mp3 encoder.
Once this workflow is set

No. If your device supports charging via USB, it will immediately
begin to charge when plugged into any powered USB port. It doesn't
matter what the os on the host is, all the device needs is for the
