Re: help with script speaking bluetooth

2013-02-08 Thread Steve Holmes
Last thing I want to do is join more email lists. But I like the topic of Apple Script so perhaps just include a tag like Script or something in the subject line and those who aren't interested in it could filter out or skip by. That's the beauty of threading messages. On Feb 3, 2013, at 12:14

2013-02-08 Thread Steve Holmes
To add to this thread, you can also open the current link to a new tab by pressing Command-Return. I like doing this particularly from a list of search results and then I can close the tab with Command-W and be placed back to the link I was originally on. On Feb 4, 2013, at 5:51 AM, Chris Gilla

Your link is broken! When I read your message about Part 1 of your Finder podcast, I hit VO-space on the link to your episode and that takes me to Safari but the page never fills. I just get an empty HTML page and interaction is impossible. Any way you might use an rss feed with audio enclosure

This is not necessarily a molehill. what if the German courts had sided with Samsung? this could have had repercussions worldwide. Also, it was a stay - delay till a patent ruling is completed. In other words, it isn't over yet. We need to keep looking back over our shoulders in case similar ru

Nope, never had this problem. Only thing I can think of is maybe looking around in ~/library for any psettings files for yorufukurou; not sure if deleting the app always rids you of these settings. On Feb 18, 2013, at 5:43 AM, Jane wrote: > Every time I try to re-open Yorufukurou, I get a noti

Fixing the Inbox Window in Mac Mail

I recently by accident, pressed Command-M instead of Command-N to start a new message. So instead, the inbox window got maximized and I can't find a way to zoom it back down to normal size. As a consequence, I can no longer use the VO-J key to toggle back and forth between the list of mail box

I especially like the idea of getting refunds for inaccessible apps. How many times has someone gone out and bought an app only to find it impossible to use with VO? That's why I like going to AppleVis to see if there is any mention of a proposed app before buying. There won't always be somethin
