Re: e-bay audio verification won't play

2011-12-14 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

This won't really solve your problem, but I thought I'd let you know
that as of a couple of days ago, this stopped working on pc's as well,
so its not a Safari / osx thing.

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,

There wasn't any mention of accessibility in the biography at all, but
then again, hardly any of the individual features of osx or iOs were
mentioned iether.
The opinion that I have is that whilst he probably had little to no
involvement in accessibility, its because of him that it works so well
- he probably saw a few bits here and there and gave them his blessing
or dismissed them.

Re: steve Jobs in 1994.

2011-10-30 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

Thats true, but he would have done the exact same for any other
feature of iOs - that won't have been exclusive to accessibility. I'm
not saying that he didn't care about it all, but people talking about
him as if he was some sort of missionary is a bit over the top imo; he
won't have made voiceover out of the good of his heart, he will have
done it because there was a market that the iPhone hadn't entered.
I do agree that they've done an amazing job with vo and I find it
quite ironic that arguably the best phone for a blind person to
purchase is one with a touch screen.

On 30/10/2011, Joanne Chua shuang.an...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi,

 Another arguement i have from some other sources are that, considering
 how hand on person he is, won't be surprise if he has a major impack
 on their accessibility.

 Regardless, does it matter? After all, come to the products, and the
 products are useful, accessible, and become an essential in our life.

 Considering how much Apple take on their Grapic approach, and how much
 it can be also accessible, that prove something isn't it? After all,
 who would have thought, graphics and accessibility can go together
 hand in hand. 5 years ago, if you are blind, and tell someone that you
 want a totally touch phone  they think you insane too.

 I wonder what sort of biography will people like founders of Freedom
 Scientific, Humanware, GWMicro, and so on gotta write? Provide less
 than satisfy accessible product, and sucking every bit of your money
 out of your bank?

Re: Can I stop the backup and begin it later without likelihood of a problem?

2011-10-13 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

Its probably too late now, but no, I really wouldn't do that if I were
you. iTunes isn't always 100% truethfull about what its doing  what
stage its at in the process - e.g. It says its restoring the firmware
when its actually upgrading it, so I really wouldn't feel confident
enough to remove the device half way through an upgrade.
You could be lucky though, but if not, you'll probably have a broken
phone until you can restore again.

Cheers,
Ben.

Re: playing iphone video on a normal tv

2011-10-12 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

You'd probably get better responses if you posted this on viPhone. To
answer your question though, if you have an iPhone 4 then you can get
an Apple adapter that lets you convert the 30 pin doc connector into
hdmi. For older devices you can get third party component out adapters
which should do what you want, but Apple are quite picky about what
will work and what doesn't. I have a belkin one for my 3GS which I've
only ever used once actually and it seemed to work well enough.
I'm not sure what the 3GS outputs at, but I'm guessing it wouldn't
look amazing on a large screen - my iPad 2 does upto 720P, compared to
DVD's which are only 480.

Cheers,
Ben.

Re: program my husband wrote

No way. However, if all you want to do is count line numbers then you
should be able to do it through Apple script. If he is still up to
scratch on general programming concepts then Apple script shouldn't be
that hard to learn, so I wouldn't go installing windows just yet.

 Hi guys.
 This is not a sales announcement or anything. My husband wrote this program
 for me which right now runs under Windows. He used to write custom programs
 for small businesses for both the Apple 2 and the PC.

 I got tired of counting lines and finding page numbers in brf files. As a
 proofreader, I have to do reports and turn that information into
 transcribers.

 I'm not wild about installing Windows on my Mac just to run this program.
 Excuse my ignorance here, but if he were to rewrite the program like it was
 going to run on the old Apple 2, would it run under Lion? I know that may
 sound weird, but if he had a 2 E here he would be able to write programs for
 it, so I thought I would find out if that knowledge could be used to rewrite
 this program without a lot of trouble. If not, I can either put Windows on
 here or do this some other way.

 Gigi

Re: latest iPhone update?

I have to disagree with Daniel.

4.2.9 fixes a security problem; to suggest that someone shouldn't
upgrade to it is missleading.

Re: Porting qwitter to mac?

2011-07-11 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
James,

I'd argue that the only people that look stupid are those people who
reffuse to use a piece of software because of its target market. You
should use what ever application works best for you; if that turns out
to be a mainstream twitter client thats great, if it turns out to be a
(For want of a better term) blind client thats great.
I do agree that its great that we have more mainstream applications
being made available for us, but I'd venture to guess that not that
many (If any) mainstream twitter clients have the same sort of
interface that qwitter has.
For me, this is something I've grown to like. Perhaps I along with
everyone else who use it instead of spending time trying to get
another client to work are contributing to the typical image of a
blind person that you seem to hate so much. I disagree with this, but
it has the potential to become very off topic, so I'll reitterate that
people should use what ever is best for them, both on and off the
computer. Completely dismissing something because its a blind piece of
software is rediculess, try thinking about what you've said but
replace blind with another minority and see how it sounds.

 I see what you're saying. The only reason I wanted to see a port of
 qwitter was simply because it provides features that most of the other
 twitter clients do not, or if they provide those features they are
 either more hidden away or in the wrong place.

 It would be great if someone would write a twitter client that had 4
 columns lined up; timeline, direct messages, mentions, and sent. Then
 you could add more columns for specific people who you are interested
 in, so only there tweets showed up. Then a simple tweet box. The ability
 to follow people, unfollow people, and a button to go to their twitter
 profile. You could customise the time before new tweets are received.


   That's it; that, in my oppinion, would be the perfect twitter client.
 Many of the other clients (including qwitter itself) have a lot of
 unnecessary features. For example, not to diss qwitter in any way, but

2011-07-11 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I've slept on this one.

Is it possible to set the scope of the dhcp on the comcast device so
that it will only ever assign 1 ip address? This should mean that its
dhcp server just won't respond to any requests for ip's from clients
after its 1 ip has been assigned, leaving the airport to do all the
work. I know this would mean that you have 2 dhcp servers on the same
network which I'm sure you know isn't advisable in most situations,
but hopefully this will be as good as not having the comcast box do
dhcp.
In this situation,that 1 device could be the airport. Technically the
airport wouldn't have a static ip in as much as its lease would expire
every now and again and it would request a new ip from the comcast
device, but if the scope of the dhcp is set to 192.168.0.2 /
192.168.0.2, it wouldn't be possible for the airport to ever get
anything other than .0.2.

Doesn't really solve the nat issue though, let us know if you find a solution.

 All,

 Here is the situation. I recently switched to Comcast business class. I

 I have setup mac address filtering to control certain machines on the

 machines that are found in the Apple router. However, this double nat
 situation can and has created some issues for me. I could of course just
 bridge the AirPort and give up the whole deal on controlling machines on
 the network. That may very well end up being necessary in the end;
 however, before I do so, I wanted to ask if anyone had any thoughts. I
 did a little searching around on Google, but unfortunately I'm not sure
 exactly what to look for either. I don't think Google would take my

 Although I do not have any plans to do this, the advantage of double nat
 in this case is I could strap three more routers onto the gateway (SMC)
 and have some fun. Now maybe there is a way around all of this, but seems
 the current issue is IP6 tunneling, but I am more concerned if this could
 pose problems with other services. So, thoughts welcome and I'll keep
 poking around and see what I can learn. The good thing is that all seems
 to be working for the most part, so this is not a critical need
 situation. Just need to make sure I can vpn into the network at the
 office. :)

Scott,

If I've understood you correctly, the comcast device is doing dhcp for
all of the computers on the network, but the computers are actually
connecting through the airport; you're wanting to make the comcast box
act just as a modem and nothing else because of the airports ip
reservation features? You're also having problems with the 2 nats and
setting up vpn?
I *think* the first problem would be quite easy to sort out. I'd start
by turning dhcp off on the comcast box and just make the airport do it
for the comcast box and all the other devices on the network; this
should give you back the control that you don't have on the comcast
box.
As far as port forwarding through 2 nats, can both the comcast and
airport do port forwarding? If so, assuming that every ip is static,
have you tried forwarding the ports on the airport and then forwarding
the ports on the comcast box so that when someone connects from the
outside on the desired port, the chain would look like:
some outside computer  the internet  your isp  comcast set to port
forward to the airport  airport set to port forward to the machine?

Probably completely miss understood you, but hth.

Re: Usb or NAS revisited

2011-07-06 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hi,

I'll answer this on list since people are wanting to use iTunes with a nas.

Like any other nas, the linkstations have a web interface that lets
you control its features and setup shares. It does have some client
software for pc and mac, but it doesn't really do that much; all it
does on windows is map a drive for easier access.
It has a dlan server, which is pretty much like home sharing except it
works with more media players, but I'm not sure if it works with
iTunes out of the box. As I said, if you're up for a bit of a hack,
you can get it to run debian which is much more flexable than the
stock firmware, so you should be able to get something sorted that
way.
Note that sometimes if you flash the firmware it will for some reason
switch languages to japanese which can take a bit of time to change,
but you shouldn't have to do this if you purchase one with the drives
included.

Remember to double check iTunes compatibility before you buy it; I
would check but I'm not running the stock firmware.

Re: NAS or USB?

2011-07-05 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Get a nas. Chris is correct in saying that you can just share a usb
drive, but most nas units come with other desirable features like an
http downloader, bit torrent support, ftp server, dlan server and
iTunes support.
You're basicly getting a very small (But probably not as small as the
mini to be fair) low power (but still capable) computer. I have a
buffalo Linkstation which I grabbed on eBay without any drives for
just over £20 but you can still by them new. If you buy one and are
feeling adventurus you can install debian on it and then, you can do
pretty much anything you could ever want on it - mines even acted as a
mail server for a couple of days.

One other thing to remember is that if you use a USB drive shared
using the mini on a gigabit lan, you could start to notice the usb
bottlenec but essentially, if you don't mind leaving a computer on all
of the time, get a usb drive, but once you buy a nas, you'll never
want to have it any other way.

 Another thing to consider is how reliable the storage has to be. If the
 drive fails, what is the impact. Will you have to re-rip all your CDs
 and such? For me right now it's not that critical but I've been thinking
 about going to a Drobo down the road if the 500GB drive I have now fills
 up. The Drobo has slots for multiple hard drives and it mirrors the data
 across them. If one of the drives fails it transparently continues on
 with the remaining drives. When the failed drive is replaced the
 mirroring is reconstructed. I think the smallest 4-slot version is about
 $300 empty. That also means I can add capacity over time and eventually
 retire older smaller drives, if they don't fail first. Of course this
 doesn't help if the Drobo is knocked off the table or whatever. So it
 might still make sense to have backups. My drive is mostly rips of media
 so while I'd hate to waste the time doing all that again, it's not
 irreplaceable. For that I use time machine to backup to a hard drive on

Re: installed ram with no sited asistence!

2011-06-29 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I don't mean to start the ram argument up again, but now that you've
been using the system for a while, do you notice a speed increase and
if so, where abouts?

Well done on the installation; hardware can seem a bit scary but it's
actually great fun once you've done a few installations.

 Well, was really hesitant to try this, but after reading some community
 forms, and watching 2 youtube videos of it being done, I decided to go
 ahead and try doing it myself. It's probably the easiest thing I've ever
 done on a computer. So I put 8 more gigs of ram into my Imac, now running
 12. After completing this task, booted it up, went to about this mac, and
 it told me the model of the ram, and that it was 12Gb instead of the 4 it
 came with. So I saved a mountain of money by buying it from crucial.com
 http://crucial.com and installing myself. Oh, the reason this is such a
 big deal to me is I am totally blind, and needed no help at all, except
 for the tutorials and forms I access, but who doesn't do that? Thanks for

Re: average ram for a blind user?

2011-06-25 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
That sounds like a problem with disk io, not a lack of ram.
Problem is, if there is one fairly technical computer word that
consumers are aware of, its ram, so shops / people who don't really
know what they're talking about suggest a ram upgrade for everything.
I would be willing to put money on the problem going away or not
happening as much if you went from a 5400RPM drive to a 7200RPM or an
SSD, assuming we're talking about a laptop.

 yes, if you are going to start loading multiple voice synth files in, then
 you may wish to look at more, but assuming you opt for one, Alex, the
 basic Apple voice, which is very good and fine for 99% of users. then 4Gb
 is more than enough.

 things like Pages, Numbers, Safari and Mail the four key players of apps,
 oh and iTunes all use tiny amounts of RAM in real terms, so you are quite
 literally paying for the RAM to sit there and do nothing.

 this business of the more the merrier, you're the one who is going to be
 forking out for all this unutalized RAM, I'm really, very serious about
 this over purchase, its just not necessary, you will hand on heart notice
 absolutely no difference whatsoever, and anyone thinking you will just
 doesn't understand how these things are really put together. its an old
 wives tail.

 true in the days when we had 8Mb hard drives and when my cache level on my
 current machine would make my machine's RAM even 10 years ago, go green
 with envy, but this is the 21st century, technology is so very much more
 than the RAM in the machine.

 save your money, don't forget, you can always easily upgrade RAM later.

 put it in one final other way, we have some 76,000 servers running,
 roughly, most of these have between 16Gb and 64Gb of RAM, but these are
 handling hundreds of clients at any one time, and serving up web pages and
 e-mail to millions.

 the most strenuous task you are going to do is to ask your machine to tab
 between several running applications at the same time, and 4Gb of RAM is
 more than enough to achieve this at far higher speeds than your fingers
 can press the buttons to achieve the goal.

 I've said my bit, more than my bit, this is not so much a twopence worth,
 as more my wealth of experience and knowledge in this industry, you are
 wasting your money over 4Gb, do not buy less though.

 *Note*, this is advice aimed at regular users, if you are about to start
 mixing up the decks, or creating your very own commercial home movies,
 then lets re-think, but Minister Miller, assuming this is a divinity
 related title, if the most you are doing is the odd e-mail, the odd
 Surinam for Sunday service, and a like, then seriously, 4Gb... hum, on
 second thoughts, is God on WiFi, you might need an extra WiFi base
 station... :) grin.

 mac or PC.  This person seem to think even if you had a fast processor,
 that spending money on ram was a waste.  Now I will admitt, that apple is
 a little pricy when it comes to ram, but there are third party sellers out
 there with compatible memory for just about any system.  Thoughts?  Oh, 1
 more thing this person said, that the only way more than 4 gigs would be

 Naama,

 I'm Naama's husband.  Of course, she can answer for herself, but I helped

 you say you upgraded your iMac, and you are pleased with the results, how
 much did you have in the past, what speed of RAM, which Mac do you have,
 what bus speed, what processor, how fast was the spin speed on your hard
 drive, what cache level etc.

 This is a 2011-model iMac withan I5 quad-core and a 500 gb 7200 RPM hard
 drive.  We bought it with the extra RAM.

 you are implying that the pure RAM improvement made this difference, but
 the implication is that you had a perfect machine and that the RAM slowed
 things down, you may have had a lesser machine, and the RAM made things
 better for you.

 Actually, she didn't imply this.  She actually said:

 I upgraded my iMac to 8gigs of ram and I am not sorry in the learst.

 This is not to say that she would have been unhappy with 4 gb of RAM, just
 that she's happy she opted to buy the extra 4 gb.

 It is quite possible that a recent iMac will operate just fine on 4 gb of
 RAM for the foreseeable future.  But macs are not cheap.  As things are,
 we could not really afford to make this purchase, but we did because
 another computer died and we felt it was time to make the switch.  As
 such, we felt that 8 gb of RAM would future-proof the machine as much as
 possible without being a major expense.

 It's worth remembering that the iMac by default comes with 4 gb of RAM.
 Yes, it also comes wiht Garage Band and iMovie Maker, and quite possibly
 that 4 gb of RAM is to accommodate these sorts of software.  But the fact
 is that it does ship with it and we use VoiceOver on top of these things.

 Someone already mentioned the system requirements for Lion.  I can't help
 but wonder how much RAM the 2012 or 2013 era iMacs will ship with.

 I guess my view is that if you can afford the upgrade and plan to get the
 most out of your mac, there's no harm in doing it.  Certainly it won't
 harm anything.  If things are running fine and you can't really justify
 the expense, don't worry about it for now.

 Geoff.

 Apple’s new iCloud service — announced during Steve Jobs’ WWDC keynote
 on Monday — will not launch in the United Kingdom until at least the
 first quarter of 2012. A representative from the Performing Right
 Society (PRS), an association of songwriters, music publishers, and
 composers in the United Kingdom told The Telegraph that negotiations
 with Apple are still at a “very early stage.”

 The licensing team at the PRS have started talks with Apple, but are a
 long way off from any deals being signed … It is very much the early
 stages of the negotiations and is similar to the launch of iTunes –
 which began in the US and took a while to roll out to other countries

 iCloud will launch in tandem with iOS 5 in the United States this fall.

Re: ram instillation?

2011-06-03 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
If you've never done it before and don't feel confident messing around
with electronics, I'd suggest that you get someone else to do it.
Having said this, adding ram is one of the most easiest upgrades you
can do, but it all boils down to if you want to take the (Fairly
small) chance of breaking something whilst you do the install.

 Hello, I will be receiving my mac in a few days.  Buying ram from apple is

 possible to accomplish this with sited help from home?  Thanks.

Re: Advice on opening Imac

2011-04-25 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Send it to Apple, especially if its still under warranty. The iMac
will probably have a compartment that lets you access the ram; perhaps
even the harddrive and the airport card, but without looking at the
mac in person, I'm fairly sure that you'd be needing to remove the
motherboard or logic board in order to really get at the sd card slot.

Taking computers apart can be really fun and theres no reason why a
total can't get very good at it, but trust me, you don't want your
first take apart to be a iMac.

 Hi

 Yes, the legacy kernel is designed specifically for people who's CPUs aren't
 support on snow leopard's retail install. The OSX86 boot cd that I'm
 thinking of using will in essence allow me to install snow leopard on an MBR
 partition. By default, the retail dvd doesn't allow that; I'd have to
 reformat my entire hard drive, wiping out this windows install and change my
 partitioning scheme to GPT. Also, if in the future I decide to say install
 vinux on my hard drive next to windows 7 and snow leopard, using MBR will
 make future installation of other OSes easier.

 Once I've found some time to experiment with this, I'll do an image backup
 of my windows partition, including the MBR using shadowprotect, in the event
 that something goes catastrophically wrong during my attempted snow leopard
 install. In theory, using the OSX86 mod cd in conjunction with the snow
 leopard retail dvd should give me sound during the installation, though I
 can't be sure since this is the first time that I'm attempting this sort of
 thing.

 As you said, the latest update to snow leopard does support sandybridge, but
 since that won't be the same version that your DVD has, you still have to
 find a way of installing it. At the end of the day, if snow leopard doesn't

 This is against apples eula, even *if* you have purchased snow leopard.
 To get the dvd to boot, you'll first have to boot the vm using
 boot132, wait for some text to appear on the screen, eject the disk,
 insert snowy, complete the install potentially without voice over

Re: accessible install of snow leopard in VMWare Player

2011-04-08 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Hey,

I've done quite a few hackintoshes in my time, all of which from
memory have needed sighted help to get up and running.
I mainly make hackintoshes on desktops that have been built for that
exact purpose - E.G. picking a compatible motherboard and CPU. this
has made things much easier. The basic method is:
Build a box with components that other people have got to work.
Usually, ahci needs to be disabled in the bios.
Boot the box using boot132.
Once boot132 has booted, insert snow leopard.
Cary out the snow leopard install with sighted help and restart the machine.
Boot to boot132.
Boot into the osx install.
Install a bunch of packages from places like ihackintosh to get stuff
working such as audio, ethernet and propper video. Also install
something that allows osx to boot without boot132.

Thats pretty much it. When ever I do them, I always try and base the
install from a retail dvd for maximum stability. The one exception was
when I installed snow leopard on my Samsung NC10 which required a
modified version which had been created for the MSI Wind line of
netbooks.

Like I say, its not really something that you would want to be doing
every day and its not really for the faint hearted. Having said this,
if you plan ahead and make sure your hardware is supported, you get a
great hackintosh that runs just like a normal mac.

 Let us know how it goes. Getting a hackintosh up and running feels really

 Hi

 Yes, the legacy kernel is designed specifically for people who's CPUs
 aren't support on snow leopard's retail install. The OSX86 boot cd
 that I'm thinking of using will in essence allow me to install snow
 leopard on an MBR partition. By default, the retail dvd doesn't allow
 that; I'd have to reformat my entire hard drive, wiping out this
 windows install and change my partitioning scheme to GPT. Also, if in
 the future I decide to say install vinux on my hard drive next to
 windows 7 and snow leopard, using MBR will make future installation of
 other OSes easier.

 Once I've found some time to experiment with this, I'll do an image
 backup of my windows partition, including the MBR using shadowprotect,
 in the event that something goes catastrophically wrong during my
 attempted snow leopard install. In theory, using the OSX86 mod cd in
 conjunction with the snow leopard retail dvd should give me sound
 during the installation, though I can't be sure since this is the
 first time that I'm attempting this sort of thing.

 The solid state disk makes all the difference in the world.  You should
 determine what you want to do with the machine.  Let that drive your choice
 of machine.  If you are going to be writing documents, sending mail,
 browsing the web and using iTunes than a upgraded mac book air would be the
 least expensive way to get great performance.  If you need a bit more
 processing power for audio recording, editing and mixing or photo editing
 than the 13 or 15 inch mac book pro would be the way to go.  Solid state
 disks really make a difference and you get one by default in the mac book
 air.  The minimum amount of memory one should have in a computer with 10.6

 Hi there. After taking my 13-inch Macbook to a little shop a friend of dad
 knew of, they finally got Boot Camp and XP going on this somewhat older
 white Macbook. One of the major problems, well, the only thing I've noticed
 so far is that no matter how I reconfigure my router, the wifi either times
 out connecting or says that I might be out of range. If I'm across the room
 from the thing, it better not be out of range because if I hit connect on
 other ones I have no clue who owns them, those will ask me for the password.
 The strange thing is that my own wifi works fine booting up from Snow
 Leopard, but not XP. I tried lowering security all the way down to WEP as
 believe it or not, all the other routers according to the network table in
 the airport thingy say WEP in them, how aweful from a security
 standpoint but I don't know who owns any of them to get into temporarily to
 download some updates and see if that solves this. At the place I live at,
 doubt anyone would know their SSID because they're all non-descript, some
 2-wire and numbers, one real long and random one and a cellular-connected
 one through a local provider, so wouldn't know who to ask permission from if
 they knew the default keys. With mine, there's 5 in total I can see from
 here, but the one that refuses to ask for a key has to be mine. I have
 Charter for Internet, and my modem is a SMCD3GN Docsis 3 Wireless gateway,
 all the latest and greatest from what I can tell, even with gigabit
 hardwired ports. How do I force this thing to take on the XP install on my
 Macbook? I really have to wonder if these modems do Mac address registration
 and OS analysis. It lets MacOSX on without a hitch, but when I reboot to XP
 it says I'm out of range almost immediately or it sits there as long as you
 can wait like a firewall would respond if it's decided the answer is no. Is
 there a way I can reset what my gateway thinks about the Mac address for the
 laptop so that it will allow the XP side on? I wonder then if it will forbid
 OSX? I don't even know if that shop downloaded that 300 mb update there is
 to the Boot Camp drivers, at least there was when I installed those into a
 demo of fusion. Is there a way to download them with a PC and install via
 USB stick since I can't find an open network? If not, what kind of 2Wire
 Docsis 3 modem can I buy myself to replace this thing, figuring if I have my
 own, this silly detection won't be there? I suppose if I convinced Charter
 to send another one, I have to be careful to connect wirelessly with the
 windows side first and see if it then locks Mac out, but I'd rather not go
 through that mess.
 Thanks.

 How do blind people use a touchscreen? and How would a blind person

 how
 a blind person can operate the iPhone without sight?

 You have to register to post.  I have to dash, so I can't answer this

Re: Any hidden Gotchas when installing more RAM in a MacBook?

2011-03-02 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
If you find out the type  speed of ram that your macbook has, you can
just buy any ram that is the same specs.
Bear in mind that if you want to go to 8GB it could get a bit
expencive depending on your current configuration - e.g. if you don't
have a 4GB stick, you'll have to get rid of all of your current ram
and get 2x 4GB sticks.

 You do not need to change anything on your Mac and you do not need to

 Hi.

 I was just at a MacShop the other day and bought more RAM (DDR3 variety)
 for my MacBook which I purchased two years ago. I currently have 2 GB of
 memory and will soon have 4 GB.

 I am wondering If I need to make any changes to Snow Leopard prior or
 after installing the new RAM. Will my system just boot up normally, or do
 I need to make other changes? I also have VMWare Fusion and would like to
 allocate more memory for XP, once the new memory has been installed.  Is
 this a straightforward process or will I need to re-install Windows XP
 under VMWare fusion?

 Many thanks,

 Mike

Re: GParted accessibil

2011-02-04 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
If you boot into vinux it's usable. I used it a couple months ago
having not used orca for about a year and found it easy enough.
Although, using it does seem sort of pointless when you have disk utility.

 Gparted is not accessible using voiceover.

 Quoting from their web page gparted is developed on Linux using
 Gnome and X windows.  It can be used by other operating systems such
 as mac and Windows bu booting off the gparted live disk.

 So, it is possible that gparted my be accessible using a linux screen
 reader like orca, but I wouldn't recommend going that route unless
 you're already comfortable with a Gnome based screen reader.

Re: Jailbreaking and some solutions?

2011-01-31 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I'm sorry to hear that rose. I thought that the serial number method
was pretty safe? I do know that if the 4th and 5 th digits are between
40 and 45 it can be hit and miss, but mine are 21. I guess at the
least, it's an experience.
I don't like the way that stuff that changes springboard makes the
phone unbootable though and whilst I don't know for sure, I'm assuming
that things like 5 icon doc will change it. Also, I don't like the
idea of safari not working.
To be fair, your right though, I don't think my phones ever rebooted
randomly or because of a crash, so perhaps I'm just being paranoid.

 I've been using a tethered jailbreak since November. My serial indicated

 them. So I'm stuck running a tethered 4.2.1. It was a mistake, but I
 accepted the risks when I upgraded. The dev team recommended that I wait to
 upgrade, but I wanted to experiment.

 At any rate, when I want to reboot, all I do is put my phone in DFU mode and
 launch a file. My phone starts rebooting. I've never had to reboot my phone
 while out. Since writing the jb guides, I have found out more information on
 what a tethered jb entails. I've considered making this information part of
 jb101. At any rate, straight from this post,
 http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/1652053923/thanksgiving-with-apple
 in case there are some who don't feel like reading, here's the important
 info.

 Update #2 :  The notion of a “tethered” jailbreak is pretty new to many
 people, so here’s a quick rundown on what to expect:
 1 If you’re on an iPhone3G, old-bootrom iPhone3GS, or non-MC ipt2g, life is
 easy. redsn0w installed an untethered jailbreak and so nothing below
 applies.
 2 “Tethered” does not mean you cannot boot at all without PC/Mac assistance.
 If you have not installed any tweaks that hook into important programs like
 SpringBoard or CommCenter, your device will actually boot. However,
 jailbreak programs like Cydia won’t work (and Cydia may still have a white
 icon).  Also, certain built-in apps that had to be moved by Cydia will fail
 (Safari being the most noticeable example).
 3 If you’ve installed MobileSubstrate tweaks that hook into SpringBoard or
 other important programs, your boot will actually fail (you’ll get stuck at
 the Apple logo).  You need to use redsn0w to “Just boot tethered right now”.
 End of excerpt.

 For those of you who don't know what MobileSubstrate is, it's a dependency
 of Ultrasn0w, the iPhone dev team's unlocking software for iPhones. This
 means that you can't install Ultrasn0w without MobileSubstrate. My friend,
 who has a locked phone, was able to boot up just fine. I myself do not, so I
 cannot reboot without the assistance of my Mac. Most of you guys won't have
 that problem.

You know, I'm not exactly the biggest apple fan on here, but if those
are all the bugs that are present in iWork, I have to say thats pretty
impressive. I can't right now, but I'm sure that if I had time, I
could come up with many more bugs that one could find using a windows
screenreader and office.
I'm all for talking about a products weeknesses, but it seems like
your podcast exists purely to expose the bad points about voiceover,

 Pages

 * Going from end of page to next page, a sound indicates page turn;
 VoiceOver is silent and doesn't read first line of following page.

 Numbers
 * Navigating  around, Voiceover will double/triple speak cell
 coordinates, speak word cell and order in which info is read isn't
 consistent.

 KeyNote
 * Slide show view, interact with table, VoiceOver doesn't see slide

Re: band limit was Jailbreaking and some solutions?

2011-01-31 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Pretty sure Rose is right; I think the only way that they can find out
is if you've flashed your baseband to the iPad one. Other than that,
so long as you restore, you should be fine.

You'll only flash your baseband if you want to unlock.

Re: Jail breaking an IPhone 4 from a blind perspective, can't find the thread

2011-01-23 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Assuming your on 4.2, jailbreak on the iPhone 4 is tethered at the
moment, meaning that when ever your phone reboots, assuming that you
want to run jailbreak apps, you'll have to rejailbreak the phone from
a computer. Even if you don't want to run any jailbreak apps, safari
will crash every time you open it if you don't run the tool.
In other words its really not worth it.

Re: Apple screwing iPhone users to block them from opening the hardware they paid for.

2011-01-21 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Scott.

Whilst I do agree with you, I feel that in this situation, Apple did
make the right choice by making there iPhones harder to take apart.
You talk about computer repair. When you ran the shop, did you ever
get someone who tried to upgrade or fix the computer themselves? Did
you ever find that it ended up quite a bit worse because of the
attempted fix?
Now, picture a really small device, with lots of surface mounted
components inside it - those components that are removable will be
connected via ribbon cables. I don't know if you've ever encountered a
ribbon cable, but you can't mess about with these things if you want
them to work after.
Lets be honest. If someone has the required knolige to fix an iPhone,
it would be a trivial matter for them to research the correct tools
needed to open the device. Whilst I do agree that the way that
companies protect there devices is getting slightly over the top, what
sort of crazy mods do you think people would be able to come up with
for the iPhone? Do you think that people would be able to uncover a
secret dipswitch and suddenly be able to overclock there cpu's by
200%?

I do intend to open my 3gs soon to replace the glass and the battery,
but I know that if I break it, it's my fault. Do you remember those
old dell optiplex machines from 10 12 years ago where the cases were a
nightmare to remove? That wasn't to stop the hardcore geek from
upgrading there hardware, it was to stop the kind of person who would
break there computer by attempting an upgrade from upgrading it and
lets be honest, there are quite a few of those people.

As a side note (and I'm more than happy to take this off list if you
want), as a total, did you ever find a way to replace capacitors on
motherboards in the repair shop? I've been investigating component
level repairs on both desktop and laptop boards and would be
interested in speaking with people who can replace dc jacks, usb
ports, capacitors and people who are able to reflow the nvidia gpu's
that suffered from cracked solder due to overheating.

 Hello Everyone,
   I have read the previous messages on this topic, I would like to
 respectfully object.  I would like to begin by saying that I feel the topic
 is certainly news worthy.  Furthermore I am quite disturbed at how readily
 folks on this list are willing to just bow to the omnipotent Corporation
 looking out for our well being.  I feel that Apple is only protecting its
 bottom line and that is where it begins and ends.  Fifty years ago the Sears
 catalog included schematics so that one could self troubleshoot issues whit
 products that were sold in their catalog.  Today we have covers to cover
 covers, layering the electronics and mechanical parts of our cars and
 hundreds of other devices that we use every day.  As an American I love our
 traditional spirit of adventure and personal independence to take a product
 designed or meant for one purpose and transform it into something completely
 beyond what it was designed for.  In pushing this envelope we have been a
 market leader and produced some of the sharpest minds in our century.  I
 know for a fact that a few funky shaped screws are not going to stop the
 people that I am describing.  I am objecting with the status quo, and the
 consensus of the people on this list.  Before I went blind I was a Heavy
 equipment Mechanic.  Whenever I would hear about situations like the one
 outlined I would be frustrated.  We have an amazing amount of competent
 electronic specialists who would not bat an eye at removing the back of
 their iPhone to do a minor repair.  I am a ham radio operator and that
 spirit is certainly alive and flourishing.  The amount of money that folks
 with these skills are saving by doing their own repairs, are nothing short
 of amazing.  When I owned a computer store and we would frequently have
 computers come in where their capacitors had dried out and exploded.  This
 action is so dramatic, that when my friend and business partner who happened
 to be one of these skilled electronic technicians that you are saying have
 no business tinkering around in a iphone, would replace the capacitors.  Our
 customers would think that he had performed nothing short of a miracle.
 Along those same lines I had dropped my BN PK and the cards had become
 dislodged.  He simply reseated them and I went on my way.  The company had
 just charged me 250.00 for new batteries.  He researched it in four minutes
 and could have replaced them for me for 18.00.  How much do you think that
 Humanware would have charged for reseating my cards, not to mention the
 time.  Please do not tell me that this is not news worthy, because it
 certainly is.
 Sincerely,
 Scott

Re: Apple to Remove the Home Button from Future iPads and iPhones?

2011-01-17 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I was thinking about that as well actually. The only way I can see it
working is if your fumb is at the bottom of the screen and your other
4 fingers are at the top. Even then, it doesn't sound overly smooth.

I do like the idea of controling multitasking using jestures though; I
always thought that the app switcher could have been a bit better ad
that it could load a bit faster come to think of it.

Re: What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?

2011-01-15 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
What an interesting problem!
First of all, I'd make sure that you have a complete backup of
everything just incase.
It seems like the drive is malfunctioning on both reads and writes,
but it's not like using torrents or opening music in itunes is putting
a large amount of strain on the drive, surely booting would stress the
thing more?
Are you sure that the drive is actually spinning down? How functional
is the rest of the os?
Would it be possible to put the drive in a usb enclosure, boot to osx,
use it for a couple of days like that and see how well things work?
Have you looked at smart info for the drive and if so, how healthy is it?

Re: What could make an internal hard drive suddenly decide to die?

2011-01-15 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
When ever I've scene logic board failiers on drives it's usually been
no power at all, but hey, who knows.
The reason I suggested using usb was so that we could rule out the
motherboard and so that if the os was for some very strange reason
sending ata commands to power the drive down it wouldn't be able to
since you can't do that over usb.

At any rate, storage is really cheap these days, so if you don't mind
playing with internals, you could just put a new drive in there and
see what happens. Chances are it'll be a 5400RPM drive in there atm,
so you will see a performance boost if you go up to a 7200.

Lets be honest, the fast speech bug probably isn't going to be fixed.
I've noticed and perhaps it's just me beeing picky, but apples bug
pattern for ios goes something like:
Release new version of ios.
Fix 1 or 2 bugs that were introduced in the previous version.
Introduce a few more.
Repeat.

Don't get me wrong, ios is probably the best operating system for a
phone that there is, but accessibility must have got hundreds of

Re: Hopeful news on the future accessibility of Star Breed, a Science Fiction gamebook for iOS

2011-01-12 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
This game sounds awesome!
Hopefully everything will work out, although perhaps a very gentle
email every couple of months might not go a miss just to see how / if
things are working out.

Infact, I'd probably go as far as saying that based on your
description, this sounds like it could become my favourite ios game.

On 12/01/2011, Orin orin8...@gmail.com wrote:
 Hi all,

 I contacted the developer of this game. The core of the game is accessible,
 the story. However, the story requires you to hack into terminals, help
 people with networking, etc, as the main character you're Well rounded with
 combat but you primarily perform hacking operations.

 The hacking and combat battles come in the form of visual minigames that,
 depending on how played, effect the outcome of the battle. Possible outcomes
 either you could probably die, get injured, get critically injured, etc.

 Since i paid $2.99 for this app, I was slightly disappointed that the
 battles weren't playable, as that's what makes up most of the game, besides
 telling a sweet story in the process.

 Right now, all we can do is read the introduction and start what I think is
 a tutorial. The problem? You have to hack the security of a Tank, where it
 becomes unplayable. Was surprised to get a response back. Took a few days,
 but here it is.

 P.S. Anyone know how to contact EA Mobile? They've got two totally text
 based games at least that's what I read in reviews, yet VoiceOver is
 completely inaccessible with them. These inparticular would be nice to
 become accessible due to weekly content and or story updates.

 Hi Orin,

 Thank you for contacting us.

 We are sorry you are having a difficult time playing Star Breed. The hack
 section was unfortunately designed to be graphical in nature. Voice Over
 is something that we unfortunately failed to consider while designing the
 hack mini games. Our sincere apologies. In fact, we have been contacted by
 a few other VO users too regarding this exact same issue. So, we're
 discussing this internally to see what's the best way we can implement
 this for VO users. We're just a 2 man team, so we don't have the kind of
 resources that the bigger companies do. But, we'll research this more and
 come back to you soon.

 Thanks and regards,

 Hello,

 I just bought Star Breed today because I heard about it on a gamebook
 site I was on. Being blind, text based games are a great way to pass the
 time since very little graphics are involved. In the case of Star Breed,
 using VoiceOver it was difficult to get through the first two intro
 screens or so, but I figured it out eventually. The part where I get
 stuck though is when I have to help an engineer with a Tank. When I jack
 in, I see a screen that says security threat detected or something like
 that, with something that says chip timer sequence and medium. When I
 double-tap either one of those, the VoiceOver gesture for click, nothing
 happens.

 Is there possibly anything you can do to make this accessible for
 VoiceOver blind users? The story parts are great, but so far I'm unable
 to hack to get passed this tank thing. Love the music I've heard both in
 the main menu and in the game, on the intro and getting briefed, hope
 there's a few more tracks. And I hope you guys can somehow make this
 accessible so my money would be well spent and I can continue the game.

 Thank you.

Re: ITunes not properly updating podcasts

2011-01-09 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Note: this post is a bit windows orientated; for some reason I thought
you'd sent this to viphone, but I'm sending it anyway in the hope that
it may help others as well.
John,

I've also had this happen and it's really really annoying. Unlike you,
I like to download / sync my podcasts every morning while I shower so
that there on my iPhone for the rest of the day, so this tends to be a
huge problem.
I've actually given up on using iTunes for podcasts and have switched
over to juice. I'm not sure if it's the best podcatcher out there
these days since I've stuck with it for a few years now or if theres a
mac version come to think of it, but it always seems to do the job.

Heres where things start to get interesting though.

I like things to be as seemless as possible, especially in the
mornings, so I had to figgure out a easy way for the podcasts to be
downloaded via juice and then imported into my iTunes library more or
less automaticly.

So, heres how I have everything set up. You should be able to
duplicate this using apple script but I can't provide any examples I'm
afraid.

1: Juice downloads my podcasts when ever it wants to; this is usually
with in minutes of them being uploaded. They then get saved in the
automaticly add to itunes library folder.
It would be great if iTunes would simply add all of these files to
it's library, but alas, that would be too simple. Itunes only adds
files that are in the root of the automaticly add to itunes folder,
completely disregarding any sub folders. This is a problem since juice
makes a sub folder for each podcast that I'm subscribed to.
2: I wrote a batch script that inspects the automaticly add to itunes
folder and any sub folders that exist with in it. The script grabs all
the mp3's that are in the different sub folders and moves them to the
root of the automaticly add to itunes folder after which, the now
empty sub folders automaticly get deleeted.
This is set to run every morning, just before I get up.

It was a bit of a pain to set up, but it actually works quite well
now. I always get my podcasts and everything is done automaticly.

Hope that helped someone.

Ben.

 Hi list:

 I've now had this happen twice.  For reasons I can't figure out, ITunes all
 of a sudden stops updating my podcasts.  The only reason I know this is
 because I have one hourly news and one or two daily podcasts that haven't
 updated in the last several days.  The only way I've found to fix this is to
 unsubscribe and resubscribe to all of my podcasts.

 Anybody know why this keeps happening?

 I'm seriously considering looking into alternatives to ITunes for my
 podcasts, seeing as I never sync them with my phone anyway and just listen
 to them locally.  So, if this problem continues and nobody knows how to fix
 it, I'm also open to any alternative podcatchers anyone can suggest.

 TIA,

 As soon as I connect my mac to the same wireless, internet dies on my

 If I disconnect the mac it stays the same way until I power cycle the

The non closing dialog really does make it sound like a ip issue. I
don't know the mac command, but I'd try an ipconfig /release then an
ipconfig /renew on both computers.
Failing that, make sure that both devices are set to use dhcp, clear
any reservations on the router side, reset the router and see what
happens.

Re: jailbreaking?

2010-12-10 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I'd echo what Jim has said. There are quite a few apps that you can
download that are accessible, but since there are so many apps
floating around, it's probably best that you tell us what you are
wanting to do then we can advise you.

Bare in mind that the steps for jailbreaking are going to vairy based
on the device that you own.

On 10/12/2010, Jim Barbour j...@barcore.com wrote:
 The quick and dirty answer is that jailbreaking won't interfere
 with how VO works with your existing (i.e non jailbroken) apps.

 However, many jailbroken apps will not work with voiceover.  So, as a
 voiceover user, you can successfully jailbreak your phone and continue
 to use it.  However, there will be roadblocks to using many jailbroken
 apps.

 Others shoudl chime in with their experiences with jailbroken apps
 that are accessible. I've seen a few of them posted here.

Re: The iPad 2?

2010-12-08 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
It already has the a4 cpu in it which is working out very well for
speed and battery life, so I don't really see why they would want to
change this, although as you said, we'll probably see a ram increase.

I'd considder purchasing it if we had standard usb and an sd card
reader, but until then, I'll stick to my android tablet thanks.

Re: The iPad 2?

2010-12-08 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Since the a4 seems to have been designed exclusively for apple
products, I would argu that given the cost of research and
development, they probably won't have scene a big enough return on
there investment to start killing it a year after they first announced
it.

Plus, they can do other things to the iPad to make it run faster -
e.g. ram or nand flash upgrades.

On 08/12/2010, Ricardo Walker rwalker...@gmail.com wrote:
 Are you serious?

 Isn't that just the natural progression of computers.  The next generation
 is almost always faster and more efficient.  The only reason to change is
 because what they can put in it now is better than what they had at their
 finger tips last year.  No more reason is needed.

Re: bootcamp windows xp

I don't really like replying when I don't know the exact answer, but
you could always take the format part out of the answer file. Mine
sits at the partitions screen waiting for me to do something.
Obviously key sequences are vaguely important here, but just hit enter
a few times and you should be good to go.

You can't record stuff on this generation of apple tv though or at

 Also, when playing something you've recorded on Apple TV you don'tuse up

 Since you only get 24 megabits or so it's best to offload as much from your
 connection  as you can since ATT can't provide a very large or usable pipe.

 Thanks

Re: confirming apple tv has vo support

2010-11-22 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
From wikipedia:
Apple TV is a digital media receiver made and sold by Apple Inc. It is
a small form factor network appliance designed to play IPTV digital
content originating from the iTunes Store, Netflix, YouTube, Flickr,
MobileMe or any Mac OS X or Windows computer running iTunes onto an
enhanced-definition or high-definition widescreen television.

Apple offered a preview of the device in September 2006 and began
shipping it the following March.[1] It initially shipped with a 40GB
hard disk; a 160GB version was introduced two months later and the
earlier model was ultimately discontinued.

In September 2010, Apple announced a second-generation version of the
Apple TV. About a quarter of the size and one-third of the price of
the original Apple TV, the new device can stream rented content from
iTunes and video from computers or iOS devices via AirPlay.[2] The new
version has no hard drive; however, it does have 8 gigabytes of flash
storage for caching purposes.[3] All content is drawn from online or
locally connected sources.

 I have the previous generation MBA -- with an SS drive. It's got plenty of
 power for what I do -- mostly reading and writing -- though it might not be
 the ticket for someone who is looking for all sorts of ports, etc. Depends
 what you will be doing.
 It really is astonishingly light. When I first had the thing, I'd sometimes
 check the bag when I was heading out just to be sure the Air was actually
 inside -- it's that light. At home, it is usually on my lap, so its lack of
 heft is a godsend there, too. It's no more delicate than a normal Macbook,
 and I suspect the new model will be quite the same in that regard.
 If you don't bring your laptop anywhere and if you generally use it on a
 desk, there's probably no good reason for choosing an Air. And if you've got
 the need for a Firewire port or something else that the MBA doesn't have, or
 if you are constantly using some application that requires blazing fast
 processor speed, the Air might not be the most logical computer for you.
 But this thing definitely has its place. For me, that place is right here on
 my lap.

No one's going to have one of these since they were only released yesterday.

I personally don't really see the point; it's a portable mac with very
mid range specs with a good battery. It's apples answer to the netbook
except you could by 3 netbooks for the same price as one of these.

 The limitation I find is memory space - I can't keep all my files and
 itunes stuff on it - I did get one when they first came out however, and
 apple may have increased memory capacity.

 I use it with an external hard drive  and it works great

It has been my experience that even if accessibility did know about an

tell you about it; it's just the way that Apple works.

Re: I think I may have made a $99 mistake...

2010-10-09 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I've included the message below. I'm hoping that the jailbreak
community will inadvertantly make things better for us at some point.
  Larry Wanger lsw...@gmail.com  30 September 2010 23:00
I sent the following note to Apple Accessibility. No Voice Over on the
ATV and the remote app is rendered on the iPhone and iPad such that it
can not really be used either. Things will improve somewhat with
Airplay once implemented but not entirely. I hope others will consider
writing as well.



Hi,



I want to share my displeasure with Apple as I’ve just learned that
the new Apple TV product does not currently offer any kind of access
to blind and low vision television viewers through implementation of
Voice Over. I learned of this by calling and speaking with a sales
representative at Apple who checked with one of your engineers to find
out if accessibility features were built in to the product. Whether
Apple recognizes it or not, blind and low vision people enjoy watching
television and movies as well and Apple has unfortunately missed out
on an opportunity to continue to be a leader in this important area of
technology.



While I was somewhat surprised to learn the actual Apple TV box did
not offer Voice Over, I was even more surprised to learn that the
newly updated remote app fails to provide a meaningful solution. Had
Apple implemented the remote app for the ATV in the same way that it
has allowed end users to use Airtunes I suspect things would have been
different. Recall that the remote app essentially rendered the user’s
iTunes library, showing music, podcasts and other media content. The
user could scroll through content and choose what to play. Best of
all, Voice Over worked well with this app. A similar implementation
would have offered an accessible solution. Beyond this, my
understanding of the technical specifications of the ATV would
indicate that the box itself should have enough horse power to handle
the same implementation of Voice Over that we currently enjoy on other
Apple products.



I also would be remiss if I did not mention the recent passage and
pending presidential signing of the 21st Century Communications and
Video Accessibility Act. One of the provisions of this legislation is
the requirement for industry to develop set-top boxes that offer
accessibility features for blind and low vision users. While this has
happened after Apple developed this product, I mention it in hopes
that Apple will consider being a leader in this area by making its new
ATV accessible in the near future.



Please know that like so many others, I am very appreciative of
Apple’s efforts and leadership by including Voice Over on the iPhone,
iPad and other products. However, it seems that Voice Over could have
been implemented on this device as well. I look forward to being able
to purchase and use the new Apple TV in the future.

Re: XCode compile.

2010-10-01 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
Geoff,

My understanding is that whilst you are able to code in xcode, running
the program in the iPhone simulator will not be accessible. The
suggested workaround is to sign up to the developer program, although
$100 does seem a little bit steep to here vo say hello world.

If you have jailbroken your phone however, I'm fairly sure that you
would be able to put it onto the iPhone without having to pay apple.

The ipa's (applications) that are on your phone are all signed y
apple. Once you sign up to the program, I'm assuming apple will sign
your ipa's there by allowing them onto your phone. However, if you
have jailbroken, you can install an app called AppSync which will let
your phone run unsigned ipa's.

Sorry it's not the exact answer; I just thought I'd let you know about
what you might encounter before you start.

On 01/10/2010, GEOFF WAALER geoff.waa...@gmail.com wrote:
 Greetings,

 I wanted to compile a helloWorld program in either objective C or C++ and
 apparently am not looking in the right place for for instructions on getting
 started.

 The developer site indicates that XCode is included with Snow Leopard,
 however I don't see it recursing into the application or library folders.  I
 did see folders for sample scripts and a few programming languages in the
 library folder, but am giving up and thought I'd ask here for help getting
 going with XCode.

 TIA for any pointers.

Re: New Apple TV runs IOS 4.1

2010-09-29 Thread Ben Mustill-Rose
I wonder if the remote app is advanced enough to let you purchase
content for the tv? What's the point in having an app that will let
you control the tv when it doesn't have any content on it?

One solution could be to link an itunes library stored on a computer
to the tv, purchase the program on the computer and then view it on
the tv, but I'm just guessing here and I'm not even sure if apple will
let you do this.

Who fancies buying one to find out exactly how accessible they are?
