Re: mac protection plan
Yeah, I'd be curious too. I haven't read anywhere about this, other than the usual paranoid hearsay and rumor driven assault we get about security. Some links and reliable sources would surely be appreciated.

Re: iTunes was killed for cause
Jude, perhaps I've missed it; is there a question here for the list? I've personally never heard of ITunes / Apple doing this sort of thing. Were you given a reason and have you followed this up with Apple? ITunes does have a support page and there is also an old invention called the telephone. *warm smile* Sorry this happened and best of luck to you!… Smiles, Cara :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On May 24, 2009, at 3:22 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: The iTunes store decided to disable my id for security reasons.

Re: mac protection plan
No computer is completely invulnerable to attacks. The Mac OS is far safer than Windows. Saying that your best bet is to take a machine offline to protect it is like saying that you're not going to drive your car until accidents are eliminated. It's frankly ridiculous. I haven't read anything on any news sources, Mac or otherwise, that any hackers are targeting Macs specifically. There were a couple of Trojans earlier in the year if you downloaded and installed pirated copies of iWork or Adobe CS4, and frankly if you're pirating software, you deserve whatever's coming to you. You break the law, you take your chances. More recently, there was notification from a security firm about a vulnerability in Java, which can potentially be exploited on Macs, (and other systems that run Java applets on the web), but again, this is a known problem with no known malicious uses in the wild. Is it possible that you're just trying to get a rise out of us? Sure looks that way. Links to where you are getting this, almost certainly erroneous, information would be interesting. You can bet, just like the trojans and Java flaws, such a story would be all over the Mac news sites. I see not a one.

Re: mac protection plan
Jude, thanks for your note, however, in future, might you / others flesh these sorts of notes out a bit with more relevant details / links and such? This looks like it's meant as a response to something, but the something isn't clear! smile Just as an FYI, it seems as if you're sort of yelling through your keyboard a bit, right now. I know you're frustrated, that's obvious, but perhaps taking a few minutes to really arrange your thoughts before posting to the list would be really beneficial for others to read.

Re: iTunes was killed for cause
iTunes has telephone support. If you weren't doing anything wrong, they'd surely reinstate you account. Also, it is possible that you activated Fairplay DRM on more machines that is allowed, which could explain why your account was limited. It is a simple thing to back up Podcast subscriptions. Simply bring up the context menu on Podcasts in the Sources table and export them, then you can load them back in on any computer. Besides, disabling your iTunes Store account will not disable iTune itself. Your podcasts are fine...or would have been. :) Josh de Lioncourt …my other mail provider is an owl… Twitter: http://twitter.com/Lioncourt Music: http://stage19music.com Mac-cessibility: http://www.Lioncourt.com Blog: http://lioncourtsmusings.blogspot.com GoodReads: http://goodreads.com/Lioncourt On May 24, 2009, at 3:22 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote: The iTunes store decided to disable my id for security reasons.

Hi there, Yes, WordPress is very accessible, and I use a form of it on all my sites, as it is a robust, accessible, and relatively intuitive content management system. The main thing to remember is to disable the visual editor, which doesn't work well with any screen reader on any platform that I've ever encountered.

Re: Wordpress and VoiceOver
It's all a matter of preference. I like the ease of customization for WP within the WordPress admin interface, which you don't get with Drupal if you're totally blind. Drupal relies heavily on drag and drop in its Administration panel, particularly for site layout, and that is a real turn off for someone looking to design and manage their own site.

IMPORTANT! Please read - List Guidelines Update
hey All, first off, let me simply apologize for my seeming absence over the past few weeks; Not only do I have a very busy life outside of this list, smile but have also had some seriously annoying internet issues over the past two weeks or so as well… So I do hope you'll forgive the fact that some list processes are taking, and have taken, a bit longer to complete than expected. We appreciate your patience! smile Anyway, I've adapted the list guidelines and felt it was appropriate to post them again now. Here they are, and do have a lovely rest of your weekend!… Smiles, Cara :) What is Off-topic for MacVisionaries? • Non-Mac-related postings • For Sale postings. We're working on a site area(s) for this, so for the moment, please do keep this sort of thing off the list and email me privately if you have items for sale. • One line responses such as 'thank you' 'I agree' or 'Me too.' This also includes simply chiming in to second someone else. Unless you have some info which is something you really feel others would need to, or would very much like to read, a contribution of silence is a good one. • Ranting / 'yelling with your keyboard' If you have an issue you'd like to make known that bothers you, please do take the time before posting to arrange your thoughts into a coherent, useful message for others to read, which (when possible) contains links / valid info for others to locate if they wish • Notes asking for people to follow you on Twitter or be your friend on FaceBook or other social Networking sites. Including your Twitter / Facebook etc info in your signatures is fine and even encouraged. • Notes asking people to contact you on Skype or asking if you can contact someone on Skype. If someone needs assistance, please write them off list or have them write you. We're working on a Skype directory of users willing to help people, so for now, please keep this off the list. As in the above, do feel free, however, to include your Skype / chat info in your signature files if you so choose. • Notes with no answers in them. I.E. If you're really not sure how you can help someone with a question they've asked, then simply don't post. Let someone who does know, or has a good idea help that person. there's no harm in letting a question rest for a while if there's no immediate answer. • Posts asking about list policy, posts asking if your post got through, or test messages. Do not post these sorts of things to the list. Write me off-list instead. What is On-Topic for MacVisionaries? • Anything Mac-related! :) • Any questions from new / experienced users regarding anything at all on their Macs or Apple products. • Any actual answers to such above questions. If you have a guess, try it yourself first. If it works, then by all means, post it as an answer to the list! :) • Any warnings, or things to avoid doing which cause VO to not speak or crash. (or cause problems with a user's access tech) Preferably, it would also be nice to post a work-around for a problem if you know it. • Any news articles, Web Sites, or blog entries which are Mac / Apple related, or that have some 'real' involvement with such. I.E. is there a real honest connection between the two? Is the item you're posting really going to interest or impact a Mac / VO user? • Your own Mac / VO / Apple experiences! Feel free to post anything that you've experienced or are experiencing (good or bad) having to do with your Mac use, (with or without VO) your use of Apple products, or your experiences with Apple or at an Apple store. • Questions or concerns about a future Mac or Apple purchase. Feel free to ask anything you like about Apple / Mac before you buy! :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: iTunes was killed for cause
Alex, still not following you. Can you direct me to his postings you're talking about? Also, are you saying, that perhaps if I said There's a security hole in Leopard that Apple would somehow now see fit to terminate my ITunes account?… Respectfully, you can see how over the top this sounds… smile So since I'm obviously not quite following you here, can you clarify this? Sorry this is unclear to me, but this does sound like something we all should probably be aware of, if this is the case… thanks so much and do have an awesome evening!… Smiles, Cara :) --- Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/ModelCara View my Online Portfolio at: http://www.onemodelplace.com/CaraQuinn On May 24, 2009, at 6:03 PM, Alex Jurgensen wrote: Hi, Apple has stong security about who post about exploits. If word that the original poster gets to Apple it would be reason enough to disable an account. Just my thoughts.

For that reason I have disabled iTunes on this machine and will not reinstall it or allow it to be reinstalled for very long. With the ID that was disabled went my podcasts subscriptions and those will not be easily reconstructed. Since Apple didn't put up anything on its website for how to resolve security problems and since the automated system and humans are also clueless this is no less than Apple deserves. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Wordpress and VoiceOver
Hi, Yes. If you want a shopping cart there is a module for that. If there is one for WP i'd like it for sure. Thanks, Alex, On 24-May-09, at 6:15 PM, Josh de Lioncourt wrote: It's all a matter of preference. I like the ease of customization for WP within the WordPress admin interface, which you don't get with Drupal if you're totally blind. Drupal relies heavily on drag and drop in its Administration panel, particularly for site layout, and that is a real turn off for someone looking to design and manage their own site.

The main thing to remember is to disable the visual editor, which doesn't work well with any screen reader on any platform that I've ever encountered. This is, if memory serves, in the Settings- Writing section of the WordPress admin area, but don't take that as necessarily gospel. :) HTH.
