Do you find the voice to text understands your accent? It works perfectly with my wife, and is about 90% accurate with my Yorkshire accent. It could be good for eloquition lessons for me since it's making me talk all proper like.

Not used that.... still just marvelling at its beauty.

How do you voice to text ?
Edit. Never mind. Found it.

siri or the voice to text on my iphone is hit and miss with my accent (surrey-ish) however put on a canadian or american accent and it does seem to pick it up better!!

They are also aware and taking advantage of the fact that the vast majority of Mac users think they're invincible and take no precautions…

UAC is largely irrelevant. Yes, it provides a minor road-block when a trojan wants to install a root-kit on your PC, but so what?

1. Most users see a message saying 'Happy Kittly Screen Saver wants to: write to hard disk' and hit 'OK' because they have no idea what it means and just want to see fluffy kittens on their screen.

2. I don't much care whether the trojan installs a root-kit on my PC. The important thing on my PC is my data, which it has complete access to when I plug an infected USB stick into the PC and Windows automatically runs the trojan. Reinstalling the OS is easy compared to getting my money back after a trojan with no admin privileges steals my bank login from the web browser.

UAC is simply a bad solution to the wrong problem.

Yes thanks. Have been working with computers since i was a child.
Did IT and Graphic Design at college.

Macs are computers for dummies.
They are well built machines but built for those who don't have any interest in knowing how the machine works or loading much else on it. isheep!
They are point and click type users.
Just the same as the ipad etc. They are very limited in what you can do on them.
Those who defend them are just fan boys.

My dad would be an ideal Mac user. He doesnt have a clue about using a computer and as its so limited he wouldnt break a thing.

Another example of something that should be very basic to do but isnt is adding a html signature in the mail program.
I have clients with Macs asking me to do this for them all the time.

I have voicemail to text. Whenever any of my English mates call me it always says it cannot translate it.
I have changed my voice to text settings to the British so it will understand me.

I just disable UAC. Its more of an annoyance.

Awesome- I guess some of us are well paid dummies.

I don't know about all the other Mac users but I can build a PC from parts, take it apart and put it back together again and it even works. But I'm just a so what do I know.

On the whole, hilarious comments. Do mind if I ask, what kind of car do you drive?

His mums

Before i moved to Canada a Mercedes CLK . Now with kids an Envoy but im going to get myself an Audi or a Charger.

And i wasnt calling you specifically a dummy Hawk. The majority of people who buy Macs are though. Apple could tell them their machine can make gold and they would believe it. All systems have their flaws but Apple fan boys are just blinkered.

How many Macs have you taken apart Hawk to do upgrades?

A funny Yorkshireman i see. Do they even exist?
Hmmm I guess Leeds Utd, Sheff Wednesday and Sheff Utd field 11 of them each week so they must do

As an undergraduate I recall becoming obsessed with assembly language and machine code programming on this. Probably why I got no sex.

I loved messing around with basic when i was a kid.

Yeah, I did basic on the ZX81 and Spectrum. Machine code was hardcore though. There was something about an assembly language subroutine that was so satisfying. My undergrad years were really not my finest moments....
