[Audyssey] do it ios
Hi all look josh you got a mention on a local news release on my local blind or tech list DoItWrite App iOS Cost NZ $2.59 Thanks to Anthony Horvath for pointing out this new app to help iOS users getting acquainted with VoiceOverâs handwriting features. Not only can you practice drawing letters and numbers safely, there are games with âretro styleâ arcade sounds to keep you motivated. This is the first time that a game has made it out here so fast. Usually if it makes it at all its ages away. The list is a user list that is handled by the tech department and really doesn't mean much though some of them are trying to fight the copywrite war for us and have a few other things on their plates as well. I'd like to say this does put us in touch with the big top dogs but sadly not really though I am sure this is where the notice is taken. Whatever you did draconis keep on rocking man. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] This message is for Dark
true. on an interesting sidenote a show talking on various things talked about the state of echonomic affairs of the world and the western world in general. WHat I was told was that right now capatalism dirty and bad though it is is at this moment the only viable and workable system to keep things going for now. THat other systems had not built up to it yet. I was unfortunately traveling in the car to a friends place and arrived there just as it was getting interesting. We can get from this a couple of things. 1. the current system sucks but so what or. 2. the current system sucks but its all we have right now but another system may take over in the near future. So there is hope. Saying that the system we have now wasn't always bad. We needed it when things got started, but just like a hard drive its getting to full of files. its running out of ram and well it needs upgrading. It doesn't help then when things break which they will tend to do that well who knows. I agree with nvda though. Its growing quite fast and yess eventually the collective may have power over the others. But There is a question. If we have power to crush the others do we become what we hate so much. If I was a pirate that was going after copywrite holders of stuff because of prices and such. If I ever managed to get big would I end up doing what I was my swarn enemy. Would I be the person doing the evil deed. The scary thing is I think I would. Greed is one of the human trates that has existed since the beginning and will continue to do so. Its vary possible that it will go round and round. ants will become giants eventually that will step on ants that were once like themselves. This is getting to complex for a sunday. However in the case with nvda its worth noting that there are people in the industry that even if they don't put it out publically do acknowledge at least privately some being my friends that nvda is one of the moovers. Its not like its a secret ofcause. Ofcause the big thing will be when they become a big threat when the big guys realise they are about to become ants and then attack on mass. If we survive a suit or 2 maybe we will survive. I hope blind games can get to the point where if we need to fight we can do so and win. I am not sure how many such fights we need to be rated among the big guys but still. Then again not all giants are bad, only sertain types in sertain arieas. At 01:59 PM 11/17/2013, you wrote: Hi Shaun, Unfortunately, that is all too common when it comes to corporate capitalism. It seems the larger and more well known the company in question the people at the top of the corporate ladder are less and less likely to care about their customers and only think about money, money, money. It has always been that way, and it is the very reason the United States government has had to step in and break up monopolies, because once a corporation grew to a certain size they began to abuse their wealth and power by charging high prices for products and services, ignoring accessibility concerns, whatever. However, there is always a counter balance that shift things back in the other direction eventually. To pud it this way, you said the corporations see us as ants. That may be true, but in the wild get enough ants together and they can bring down an elephant. Individually they might be weak, but as a single unit the aunts are stronger than any single animal that happens to step on their ant hill. The corporate markets work in a similar way. Here in the USA and around the world Freedom Scientific has consistently tried to monopolize the access technology market. They have all kinds of deals going with state agencies, other corporations, and have cared less and less about their customer base. However, some of the customers are fighting back by creating a free/low cost screen reader like NVDA, and everyone who can contribute to NVDA does so. As a result in the space of five years or so NVDA has taken a huge chunk of Freedom Scientific's screen reader market a lot of that was due to their high prices, bad tech support, buggy software, and NVDA has made a big difference for people like myself who couldn't afford the price Freedom Scientific were charging for Jaws. Those customers who chose to drop Jaws for NVDA may have been akin to ants initially, but get a few thousand or more customers to leave Jaws for NVDA and Freedom Scientific stands to lose millions of dollars because of their greedy practices. As I said there are always checks and balances even for the mightiest corporations. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Catagugl: An amusing little iPhone Game
Hi Ken. I got the farting thing, but I did wonder about the clouds, also if a sighted person can see where things are on the screen before he/she fires, and thus judge the angle more exactly, then there does seem to be an access inequity, eg, trial and error vs exact information for calulcation. all the best, Dark. - Original Message - From: "Ken Downey" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 9:24 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Catagugl: An amusing little iPhone Game Hey Dark, with practice you'll know the best angle to use when flicking the creature.

I'm getting a blister on my index finger from playing so hard. No, I'm serious! The game is called Catagugl, and when I got it it was free. Not sure if it still is or not. Anyway, once you start it, turn off VO, click in the lower right corner of the screen with home button to the right, and you'll hear a little drum-like sound.

The higher you toss him, the higher he'll go, but it's about distance rather than height. There are bumpers both on the ground and in the sky, and you don't want to hit them from underneath. There are also spikes that your poor gugl can get impailed on. Watch out! The more you play, the better your aim will be.
