Hello Joseph and all,
I have tried going to google and searching for an item, and it
gives me an error and locks up my braillenote.
I am using keysoft version 7.5 build 29.
When I go to Google with my cell phone, I searched for the same
item, it came back with approximately 30,000 items.
In other words, there were no problems with the web browser
through the phone.
I am in the Los Angeles area, so I would have to say it is not an
outage problem.
Hth,
Robert Stigile

Subject: [Braillenote] My notes on Google issue
Hi folks,
After reading messages in this topic, I came to the following
conclusion: it
is not the issue of geographic outage - where some services are
not
available in certain areas - nor ISP specific - where some
Internet Service
Providers has issues with Gogle's Mobile interface. Also, note
that just
because folks using a particular ISP to surf the Internet does
not mean that
others are having the same problem. Anpother crucial note: if
other devices
along with BrailleNote are affected, then it is likely to be a
cross-platform issue - in other words, there might be
similarities in these
devices that prevent Google's device identifier to mishandle
these type of
devices. Maybe it could be nonstandard web browser techniques,
or it might
be nonstandard or older operating system. Because of this, I
have doubts
about this so-called "HumanWare specific" theory. There might be
some
evidence of geographic deviations (I don't know about Los Angeles
or
anywhere in Southern California here), but this evidence that I'm
seeing
canot be counted as a firm evidence that some states are
experiencing this
issue.
Another side note is this: I did notice that the desktop
(Classic) version
of Google had its techniques changed. Before, when search
results were
presented, the first heading was the first result. Now, there
are two top
headingslabeled "Google" and "Search Results" that preceeds
firstsearch
results.
Because of these notes, I propose this hypothesis: This Google
issue is
caused not by deviations in geography nor ISP. Rather, I think
this problem
is caused by changes in Google's underlying source code. Maybe
Gogle has
decided to implement a feature that some mobile devices cannot
recognize. If
the search results page return, "The page cannot be requested,"
then it
might be caused by modified source code. Computers are sensitive
to
modifications - even down to changes in one character.
This is the reasoning that I have come up with. Some programmers
here can
give us more information - maybe via examining source code or
something.
Cheers,
Joseph
