Re: What is RSS and Usenet
The rss information was a little incomplete because rss can also contain enclosures to podcasts as well as articles. Podcasts people subscribe to with rss as part of their url are actually carried by the rss protocol through enclosures.On Fri, 23 Apr 2010, Chris Blouch wrote: The site panix.com isn't charging extra for usenet access and has a pretty good selection of feeds too. USENET News is a very old service where folks can read and reply to messages in a thread using NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol). The discussions are broken down into topic and sub topics with dots inbetween such as comp.sys.mac.games or the like. Adding or removing topics is done through a moderation process and every post to a newsgroup server in one location is replicated to all the other ones. The content is generally not moderated so in recent years the topic areas have become rife with porn, spam and pirated software. Because of this, and the large volume of data on the comp.binaries branch, some service providers have decided to discontinue their usenet news servers or charge an additional fee for access. A newsgroup reader application allows your mac to 'subscribe' to one or more discussion branches so you can post or reply to messages, if you have access to a newsfeed server. An RSS feed reader is something else. A site can choose to publish a summary of changed articles in a specialized XML format, usually RSS or Atom. This file usually contains a time-ordered list of article titles and summaries to which you can subscribe. Any time the site adds a new article, a new entry is made in the 'feed' and your feed reader polls the site to let you know when there are updates. In theory the site could put the entire content of the article in the feed but usually the intent is to snack and click through to anything interesting. The feeds can also do pruning such as keeping only the latest 30 items in the feed or offering multiple feeds covering different areas on their site. Hope this helps.

RE: get iphone 3gs or iphone 4?
Speed, better / smoother use of VO, and the possibly beneficial apps like say text. Which works ok on the iphone 4, but as yet haven't had any luck on the 3gs.

Re: bookshare books
Hi Merlinda, I was curious what you meant by We will also add the speed adjustment and navigation by page features. The books are read using VoiceOver, so are you referring to the speed at which VoiceOver reads or speed at which the text flows across the screen? Are you all planning to add a separate text to speech option for InDaisy to read the text instead of VoiceOver? I just wanted to understand what you meant.

Re: get iphone 3gs or iphone 4?
Hi, I recommend waiting and getting an iPhone 4. I don't think it makes much sense to purchase something running last years technology unless you do so because of financial restraints. The iPhone 4 has double the RAM of a 3gs, a 38% faster processor, and a better battery. I think those are good enough reasons to go for the iPhone 4. hth On Aug 28, 2010, at 1:40 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: Hi list, As the iphone 4 is now in the market, I'm wondering which to buy.

Use iTunes File Sharing to transfer your rezipped Daisy book into InDaisy Reader.

The auto-resume and navigation capability for text-only Daisy books, still needs to be improved.

copying and pasting to SD card for VR stream
Hi everyone, I just went to the web site and read all the previous messages about the VR stream and how it is supposed to work with Itunes. I am having a lot of trouble copying and pasting to my SD card. I am going to ve very specific about what I am doing in the hopes that someone can help. Here goes: 1. I put my SD card in the card reader on my mac book pro 2. I opened Itunes and went to the playlist I wanted to copy. I interacted with the source side bar and made sure it selected the right playlist. 3. I uninteracted with the side bar and moved to the table. I interacted with the table and hit command A for select all. After the files were selected, I hit command c for copy. Voice over said copy. 4. I went to the finder and found my SD card and the VRstream files in it. I found the VR music file and opened it with command O. Then I navigated through the files on it and found the one I wanted to paste the new files in. 5. I opened it with command o. I interacted with the table and voice over said empty table while I was in the table I hit comand V for paste. Nothing happened. I hit vo m for the menu and went to edit. I found that cut, copy, and paste were all dimmed. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? I am getting extremely frustrated! lol Nancy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: copying and pasting to SD card for VR stream
Hi Nancy! I don't know if this will work for what you are trying to do but it might! when you are in Itunes select the 1st track of the playlist that you have, then press command r and if it works it will open in finder! when it is in finder it will be a list that you can open, then select all there and then copy! then you can go to that folder and command v to paste in there! hope it works! it does for a normal playlist!! hth Colin Skype focus_66 On 30 Aug 2010, at 18:18, Nancy Badger wrote: Hi everyone, I just went to the web site and read all the previous messages about the VR stream and how it is supposed to work with Itunes.

I put my SD card in the card reader on my mac book pro 2. I opened Itunes and went to the playlist I wanted to copy. I interacted with the source side bar and made sure it selected the right playlist. 3. I uninteracted with the side bar and moved to the table.

I went to the finder and found my SD card and the VRstream files in it. I found the VR music file and opened it with command O. Then I navigated through the files on it and found the one I wanted to paste the new files in. 5. I opened it with command o. I interacted with the table and voice over said empty table while I was in the table I hit comand V for paste. Nothing happened. I hit vo m for the menu and went to edit. I found that cut, copy, and paste were all dimmed. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong?

Re: the unix shell and mac terminal
No, speakup is in the debian repository. I use a stock kernel and just install the modules. Works great. I haven't cooked a kernel in a few years.

And then recently I went into the terminal on my mac in snow leopard and typed some commands and surprisingly I find that most of the commands I can perform in vinux I can also do with the terminal or the mac's unix shell. It's really cool. The only difference I can see in the mac is that it uses the darwin kernel while vinux uses the linux kernel. Oh and guys if you go into a terminal in your mac and type: man ls you can even read the unix man pages there. The only thing that doesn't work is apt-get command. I'm not sure if dpkg works or not, I haven't tried it. I'll try right now. Well guys dpkg also does not work. The mac's shell reminds me very much of vinux 3.0 lucid though. If you type uname -a it will tell you the kernel version among other things. If you type: man ls it will bring up the man page for the ls list directory command. to quit the man pages just press the letter q,. To close terminal hit command q. You can even hit tab and it will autocomplete commands for you. I imagine the unix shell is very powerful, even on the mac. And I'm glad mac uses the bash shell. Vinux uses it too. I doubt voxin would work on the mac since voxin I think is compiled for the linux kernel and not the darwin version10 kernel.

Re: downloading/reading bookshare books

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions?
Kawal and Scott, I think I tried to over think this whole process at first and made it more difficult than it ultimately was. Scott, I think I had to jump back to the Mac side and unzip the Sharp Keys Program with the Unarchiver for Mac, because I didn't have an applications key, but I really don't remember. I must have gotten it unzipped some how. :) On Aug 29, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: I have a Mac Book Pro. No USB keyboard. Follow the instructions in the post if you can, start the sharp key program in your virtual machine. Remember to unzip it first. Then there is the first list where you select the key to change. i.e. the grave key. Then in the next column which you select by tabbing, find the special caps lock key. then write it to registry. Then go through the list of keys in the post doing the same thing which I have exampled, always remembering that the first column list of keys is the keys you select whilst the second list is what you'd like the key to be. When you have done and written all the changes to the registry, restart the virtual machine and you should have an windows key, an alt key and so on. Just remember that the left alt key will only work if there is something to open like for my instance, windows mobile centre, or a page to close like the internet and then you can use the left alt key. Not sure why everything works like that in my instance but I have the Mac Book Pro which I bought from the USA. If you still have problems, add me to your Skype and we can chat and I'll be happy to help you with it. It took me a while to work it all out as it was new to me.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Office as far as I hear is not accessible. I've contacted MS about this 2 or 3 years ago with no results. Take care.

RE: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hi. Office on the mac is not vo accessible. Office, if you must use it, will work fine on the windows side. Can apple mail not deal with exchange yet? I know you can use pop3 and imap.

Re: I bought an ipad over the weekend
Hi Peggy, Congratulations on your purchase. I purchased an iPad this weekend as well and it's also trial and error for me as well. I did go into settings, universal access and VoiceOver to set home triple click to turn VO off and on. Very handy as one can use a physical button to toggle VO on and off. Have fun exploring your iPad. Les -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

is kapten GPS for Iphone accessible?
Hi listers, I'm a current wayfinder access user, but since they're shutting down soon I need a new GPS. Has anybody played with Kapten GPS for the IPhone? Supposedly, it has routes for pedestrians, biking, and automobiles. This GPS also claims to tell you where the nearest public transportation stop is, and where to go via train and bus to get to your final destination. The page where you can have a look at this is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kapten-north-america-gps-multitransport/id346821020?mt=8 This would be really cool if it worked. My understanding is that this also stores the maps locally, so there wouldn't be any outrageous data charges. It also means IPod touch owners can use this too. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Re: MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Ok, that works. There's always open office as well. I have VM Fusion working correctly though so that's a good solution. On Aug 30, 2010, at 7:32 PM, Cameron wrote: Hi.

Re: Gizmodo: Giz Explains: How Blind People See the Internet
I'm only slightly disappointed that Safari Reader doesn't seem to work with Braille, or I can't get it to, anyway. I interact with it till I'm blue in the face, and no go. Ah, well, I do read with it with speech only at times, and I really like it.
