Hi, in my opinion VM Fusion is the best choice. I like being able to run multiple operating systems at the same time and work between them freely. That being said Virtual Box is another free option that does quite well. Next, Mike Erigo on blindcooltech had a great podcast on setting up

Not sure about being paired in to places at once but the USB works great. Just attach and a prompt will appear asking where you with to connect the device, select windows, the default, and bam. Good luck > On Jan 2, 2016, at 12:42 AM, E.T. wrote: > > Yes I could connect to USB. Maybe that

I would agree, pages and the Apple products are generally more accessible. Microsoft has put work in to office 2016 however and has made big improvements. I use outlook on the Mac now daily for work and it’s very good. Still, pages and numbers etc seem to flow better and a bit more accessible

So let me ask you this because I’m genuinely not sure. What do you mean by apple forcing or foisting carrier restrictions on customers? I’m aware they make different phones for different networks but I think there’s a technology reason for that. I also know they sell unlocked devices. Expand

So here’s an interesting angle on the FM side of this discussion. I was thinking about the classic argument that FM is available in more places than the Internet. I don’t think that’s true. I’ve been doing comparisons in my mind and I think the Internet believe it or not is now more readily a

I believe it’s fairly trivial to crack the DRM if it’s present and remember there was a law passed that allows for breaking the protection on files for reasons of accessibility. > On Jan 3, 2016, at 3:46 AM, Christopher-Mark Gilland > wrote: > > I dont' think that's possible, seeing that IBoo

This is how I do it. I do all my text editing and spreadsheets in pages and numbers and then export them to PDF or Microsoft flavored file if it’s needed. My employer is all Apple though so a lot of us just work natively in pages / numbers and exchange the files in native format. I do not use

Re: Self-Muting Watch

2016-01-06 Thread Scott Granados
Are you placing your hand flat against the watch face or placing the watch face flat against any surfaces? There’s a mute gesture that’s hold your hand over the face to mute. I’m sure you’ve considered this but it’s the only thing I could think of in the off chance you hadn’t. Thanks Scott >

You’re a bit off, if you hold your hand flat over the face or cover the face for 3 seconds or more it mutes the watch. Sounds stop but VO persists so you can reenable. If you slap the watch and hold to long you’ll enable mute. > On Jan 6, 2016, at 10:19 AM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu wrote: > > Ye

I think one way to do it would be to connect a bluetooth or the bluetooth adapter to the windows virtual image and then pair with that your windows keyboard. Not sure the implications though if you are using bluetooth on the Mac side other than you’ll probably lose that. I do not know what hap
