Re: Question about the Sonos products

[Michael Malver]

I have read articles saying that generally speaking, the sound bar is to not 
sound as good as purchasing individual speakers.
Are you happy with the Sonos sound bar? I am thinking of setting up a system 
for myself.

Maybe he chose not to activate the fingerprint reader. Even if he did, how 
would you know which finger he chose? If you didn't get the fingers absolutely 
right the first time, you could destroy the data on the phone.

If someone e used my fingerprints to open my phone, and then use data against

Michael, again very astute observations.

Apple can not crack their own cryptography from what I understand.  It uses 
some very strong algorithms that are based on key pairs.  When you put in your 
fingerprint and pin you seed a process that then encrypts your phone and it 
would take more computing power than exists on the planet more time than the 
universe has existed to crack that cypher with out the keys.  This is always a 
moving target of course as power improves but it is very difficult to crack 
cyphers this complex.  We could be talking about 2048 or more bit keys to give 
you an idea.
What I find interesting though is the second half of your response 
where you thought most of the cyphers had been cracked.  I thought so to and 
I’m in the business.  While I know some of the modern cyphers are very strong I 
had assumed our friends in the NSA had a solution to this.  My guess is they do 
but it’s not available to the government as a whole because it’s to classified. 
 Rumor has it that the NSA is working with quantum computing among other 
technologies to massively improve their abilities but much like the British in 
world war II and their enigma machine they had to allow London to be bombed 
even though they knew the attack was coming as to not let it be known they had 
cracked the german codes.  I suspect something similar is at work here.  They 
in certain circles have mechanisms but they don’t want to tip their hand 
publicly.   I also suspect it takes highly exotic systems that just aren’t 
widely available.  That being said in this case I don’t believe there is any 
non classified means to crack the cryptography that Apple and Google and others 
use.

How’s that?

Thank you
Scott

[Michael Malver]

Maybe I’m confused.
I thought the issue what that law enforcement couldn't hack the password to 
this guy's phone, thus they can't get to the data.
Is Apple's incryption truly uncrackable, that is, if Apple could remove the 
data storage from the unit, can they not decrypt their own encryption? I guess 
I just assumed most encryption schemes used by operating systems had already 
been hacked by someone.

Hi Michael,

I agree with you on the first I think this topic is equally important to any 
citizens or anyone who does business or transacts with in the US.  So I agree I 
think it’s important for blind users but in the same way it’s important for 
left handed users or PC users.:)

Secondly, you ask a good question but think it through with me.  Once you 
introduce a mechanism to break through security you make an opening available 
to be exploited.  So let’s say Apple develops some magical way to crack their 
cyphers, that method now exists for the bad guys.  Once it exists you can’t put 
it back in the box.  So what Apple doesn’t want to do is compromise everyones 
security just to examine the contents of a single phone.

Does that make sense I hope I explained that well.

Good question btw.

RE: Any comments on Apple's position against unreasonable search

[Michael Malver]

Two questions:
1. Why is this topic any more important for blind users than for any other? 
That supposition is non-sensical to me.

2. Since this topic is apparently on-topic, why couldn't Apple design some sort 
of tool whereby law enforcement could send a specific device to Apple, who 
could then take the device apart, and read/decrypt the data, much as one might 
now do through the removal of a hard rive from a laptop?
Asked another way, could something be developed which isn't part of the 
operating system, but which could helplaw enforcement perform their task?
For what it's worth, I think Tim is doing absolutely the right thing. A couple 
bad Americans shouldn't disrupt the majority of us who deserve incryption and 
who would not misuse it.
I ask the above purely as hypotheticles.

I have a very important comment:
This topic should be off topic for this list, which deals with how blind people 
interact with iPhones. I am not a moderator, but I hope I am right about this.

pro tools

[Michael Malver]

Hello,

I am thinking of applying for an internship possibility which would require
me to use ProTools.  Is basic audio editing now accessible with ProTools and
VoiceOver? I believe I read that it was, but thought I'd double check.

 

Thanks

RE: IOS 9 siri voices now available

[Michael Malver]

Now if the ability to develop apps were more accessible. I just took an IOS 
course, but could never consistently link the objects on my form to the actions 
and outlets I needed to create in order to generate code. Plenty of blind 
people tried to help, but I never was able to get the process to work 
consistantly. Once I got sighted help doing the initial setup, coding was no 
problem. It bothers me a lot, however, that Apple is emphasizing accessibility 
for developpers while at the same time creating an environment that itself 
isn't particularly blind friendly.\

 Sadly, all the other good stuff is stuck behind mostly walled-off release

 are that you can now develop iOS apps without a developer account, that iOS 
 apps may now filter network traffic, or act as proxy or VPN client, that OS X

 need one developer account for all platforms.  All of which is great news for 
 those who care, but probably not much help to people watching the keynote 
 looking for groundbreaking new features.

very basic mac mail question

Re: very very new mac user

[Michael Malver]

I don't use android devices, but my understanding is that when you plug them 
into a USB port, they look like hard drives. If that's the case, your Mac will 
see it like a drive, and it will be very easy for you to copy data to and from 
the unit.
Also, don't forget that underneath it's glittery surface, the Mac has UNIX. You 
can always go to a shell, and do things that way, if you feel you would be 
faster.

 I'm also looking for any tips or advice someone might have to offer to
 someone completely new to macs. I've got iphone experience but that died

 Is there a website out there that offers suggestions for programs that

 of my questions.:)

Re: some good resources for studying for Apple certifications

I am unaware of colleges that train for certifications. Generally, 
certification sites will list books or places that specialize in preparing you 
for certification.
Good luck. I’ve been wondering about the availability and accessibility of 
certification for programming and support as well.

Re: Conversation Participants being Spoken in Yosemite mail

[Michael Malver]

One of the things I miss about Outlook, and love about the Mac, is that it 
tells you how many messages are in a thread. Does this still happening in 
Yosemite? If so, is the message count given before any other information?

 On Oct 21, 2014, at 7:51 AM, Jonathan Mosen jmo...@mosen.org wrote:
 
 Hi everyone, I'm really enjoying all the new goodness in Yosemite, and at 
 least on my system, it's magnitudes better than the first release of 
 mavericks was. Plenty to enjoy.
 There's one efficiency hit I've taken that I've not seen commented on here, 
 although with so many messages of late, it's possible I've accidentally 
 skipped references to it.
 I use Standard View in Mail, and Yosemite has adopted the iOS approach of 
 speaking the names of all participants in a mail thread before the subject. 
 Does anyone know if there is a way to move this around? For example, I've 
 been away from the list for a couple of days and came back to a 90 message 
 conversation. I had to sit through a very very long list of participants 
 before I could even hear the subject of the thread to determine whether it 
 was of interest to me or not. That's not particularly efficient. What I'd 
 prefer to do is hear the conversation's subject first, then if I have to hear 
 the participants, they could be spoken second.
 When reading an email list where threads can get quite long, this current 
 behaviour can add a long time to the experience.
 Thanks.

Re: at specialist

Are you using the latest version of pages?
I was having a problem where in images would not be placed where I expected 
them. Apple accessibility said this was a known issue, and fixed it by sending 
me an old version of pages: not exactly what I would call a fix. I am wondering 
if the latest version of pages has fixed image positioning issues.

Facebook clients

[Michael Malver]

Hi,

I want to use facebook on my macbook, and I don't want to use the mobile
website. On the iPhone, I find facebook frustrating because the timeline
doesn't consistently show all items in chronological order even when
selecting  the  'more' tab, most recent'. 

Is there a good mainstream facebook client for the mac?

Thanks.
