All I can say is, all's well that ends well. Like I said earlier, I wasn't offended. It was entertaining for a while but it lost its luster when this hacker tried to ruin my reputation on this list. Glad to see things back to normal so that now we can get back to the wonderful world of OS X and

Re: when i am using the newest update to night owl i don't hear any tweets from the main time line.Is there a way i can fix it?

2015-03-19 Thread BBS
Hi guys. The only way all tweets can be autoread is if you have a program called Growl and you set it to notify you of all tweets. It costs $1.99 in the Mac App Store. HTH, if not, call me on Skype and I'll help you there. Shawn Sent From My White Macbook - Original Message - From:

That's good about the accessibility improvements but I think I'm gonna stick with Radium, mostly because it doesn't time out every 90 minutes. Unless that part has changed, it's gonna take a lot to convince me to try the app. Shawn Sent From My White Macbook - Original Message - From:

Hi Eric. Actually, they stopped supporting Growl a few months ago. This is why I'm using an older version of Skype that does support Growl. If in fact they do tell me to upgrade, I'll probably get rid of Skype altogether as I don't have anyone to talk to on there anymore. Shawn Sent From My

Hi Mike. Great to see you finally upgrade to Yosemite. Yeah, I wouldn't have flash player on here either but I watch a lot of live TV online and I haven't found a website that doesn't use flash. I don't have cable so this is the only way I'm able to watch TV. I'd still like to know of a website

Yes. I agree that *some* voices from Infovox are good. Mostly Ryan, Tracy, Lisa, Rod, Grahem and Lucy. That's pretty much it. All of the others sound very robotic to my ears and I have great ears, especially Tyler who is Australian as well as Lisa, and their new Scotish voice Rhona. As I said

Well, I do like some of the voices from Cereproc, specifically Jack, Sarah, Katherine and Nathan. Although I don't know if they've released an update to them, there are some bugs with them, such as repeating sentences over and over and word echo doesn't work either. If you'd like to hear

Samantha in Yosemite is Samantha in any OS. Haven't noticed any changes to her voice. It seems the only voice to make a little more human sounding is the Australian Karen voice. Although I don't know if this is still present in Yosemite 10.2 but the Nuance voices were very laggy. Shawn Sent

No one can really say if an app works or doesn't work on Yosemite since it's still in beta and we're covered by an NDA. All I can really say is that if you're really concerned about the app not working on Yosemite, there's another client out there called TWBlue and it's quite good with

Hi Moris. If you read the original posters email, he wasn't asking about anything that would break the NDA of beta testers such as new features or bugs. He was asking how he would go about installing Yosemite when it's released to the general public. That's not breaking any agreements. Shawn
