Re: Any recommendations on a good headset for broadcasting?
Hi, I'm about to heed your advise and get a Blue-microphones snowball, what would you suggest in terms of good, not so expensive headphones? If it wasn't for the fact that the built-in microphone on my Koss IPorta pro would start and there seems to be no way of bypassing it, i'd use it, but it can't be bypassed since it goes on the head phone jack in some way, so wonder what would be a good not so expensive head phone to use? /Krister 12 jul 2013 kl. 12:44 skrev Krister Ekstrom kris...@kristersplace.com: Hi, I have a Plantronics Audio 995 headset that's wireless, and i thought it had good sound quality but now i hear that the sampling frequency is about 25 KHz so not good for doing broadcasts with, so i wonder if anyone has recommendations for a headset i can use for internet broadcasting? Wired or wireless doesn't matter. It should work on a mac preferrably in usb mode.

Re: Skype on i phone
Hi Jean. To put it bluntly, you can't add another contact to a call with Skype on the iPhone. I suggest to anyone that wants this feature implemented to bug the Skype team because we should be able to do it on both our computers and our iPhones. I would be one of those people to do it but I can't use Skype on mine anyway because I have an iPhone 3GS that I bought from someone since my 4 got lost when I was in the hospital. It was with another phone company that wasn't mine when I got it so I had to take it in to a shop that specializes in unlocking those things. Little did I know that unlocking it meant that the guy had to jailbreak it and downgrade the thing to iOS4.1. I asked the Viphone list if I could upgrade it without losing the unlock but unfortunately no because my model only lets me upgrade to the latest iOS which, as we know, there's no jailbreak for it. Oh well, I do plan on saving up for a 4S because iOS7 won't be supported on the 3GS and I really want to play with it when it comes. Lol.

Speaking on iOS / accessibility and LookTel today at The Center for the Partially Sighted (Tarzana CA)
Hi All, Just wanted to let you know that I'll be speaking at The Center for the Partially Sighted today on iOS and accessibility in general, as well as demonstrating the LookTel apps including the upcoming Breadcrumbs GPS. If anyone is in the area, would love to have you come and say hi! :) Below is the flyer (with contact info etc) for the event. Have a wonderful day and hope to see you there!… Smiles, Cara :) --- The Center for the Partially Sighted Presents TECH TALK New advances in technology are changing the lives of many people who are blind or low-vision. Come and be part of a group that will meet every month to discuss and help you better understand many types of Assistive Technology that can help you to Be more independent and productive. Whether you are new to technology or know your way around, participating in “Tech Talk” is a great way to meet others like you who want to learn more about or enjoy talking tech. This month our guest speaker will be Cara Quinn from Looktel. Most of you are probably familiar with Looktel’s Money Reader for IOS but they also have several other helpful apps including a soon to be released app that will offer some unique and interesting capabilities. She will demonstrate and talk about all of Looktel’s apps as well as address some points about creating accessible apps on iOS in a way most designers may not always think about. Even if you’re not an app developer, this information could be helpful when contacting an app developer in hopes of getting them to make their apps more accessible. When: Saturday July 13, 2013 2PM to 4PM (if coming via Access please try to schedule your return pick up after 4PM) Where: The Center for the Partially Sighted Tarzana office 18425 Burbank Bl.

syncing notes
I am very confused. I went into apple preferences then iCloud and checked the check box to sync notes. I thought this would sync my notes using notes on my iPhone and iMac using the notes application. However, it keeps asking me to create an iCloud email address. Do I have to do this and if I do will it change my iCloud user name/email that I have been using to sync my calendar through iCloud? I am real confused.
