It's Little Wonder That Longtime Windows Users Are Migrating in Droves to the New Mac Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition By Adam Goldstein, David Pogue ............................................... Publisher: O'Reilly Pub Date: September 2005 ISBN: 0-596-00660-8 Pages: 520 Table of Contents | Index It's little wonder that longtime Windows users are migrating in droves to the new Mac. They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're lured by Apple's well-deserved reputation for producing great all-around computers that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now-- with the $500 Mac mini--extremely affordable, too. Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its stunning digital media suite, or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience. If you're contemplating--or have already made--the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition. This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac. Missing Manual series creator and bestselling author David Pogue teams up with 17-year-old whiz kid and founder of GoldfishSoft (www.goldfishsoft.com) Adam Goldstein to cover every aspect of switching to a Mac--things like transferring email, files, and addresses from a PC to a Mac; getting acquainted with the Mac's interface; adapting to Mac versions of familiar programs (including Microsoft Office); setting up a network to share files with PCs and Macs; and using the printers, scanners, and other peripherals you already own. Covering the latest in Mac OS X v.10.4 "Tiger," Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition explains the hundreds of innovative new features to the Mac OS and how you can understand and make the very most of each. Whether you're a novice or a power user, Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition, teaches you how to smoothly and seamlessly replace (or supplement) your Windows machine--in a refreshingly funny and down-to-earth style--with a mighty Mac.

  • Voice Input Computer Systems
    Voice Input Computer Systems AT Quick Reference Guide Computer Access Series Voice input computer systems (or speech recognition systems) learn how a particular user pronounces words and uses information about these speech patterns to guess what words are being spoken. Voice input systems are useful for the following problems: Trouble physically using the keyboard - Voice input systems can allow a person to operate a computer without using a keyboard or mouse. This can help people who are not able to use their hands at all, as well as others who can use their hands but are limited by speed, fatigue, or pain (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome, one-handed keyboarders). Trouble creating text - Voice input systems can help a person, who has difficulty spelling words, create text. This can be particularly useful for some people with learning disabilities. However, the person's reading abilities need to be strong enough to recognize when the computer displays the wrong word. Tech Connections is a collaborative project of the United Cerebral Palsy Associations, the Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access at Georgia Tech., and the Southeast Disability and Business Technical Assistance Center.

Most full systems cost about $200. For exact prices, check the manufacture web sites listed below. There are also several systems for less than $100, but these cheaper versions may not include all of the dictation features such as hands-free access or a text read-back feature.

Speech recognition (SR) systems allow people to control a computer by speaking to it through a micro- phone, either entering text, or issuing commands to the computer, e.g. to load a particular program, or to print a document. SR systems have been around for over twenty years, but the early systems were very expensive and required powerful computers to run. During recent years, manufacturers have released basic versions of their pro- grams selling for less than £50 and have also reduced the prices of the full versions. The technology behind speech output has also changed. Early systems used discrete speech, i.e. the user had to speak one word at a time, with a short pause between words. DragonDictate is the only discrete speech system still available commercially. Over the past few years most systems have used continuous speech, allowing the user to speak in a more natural way. The main continuous speech systems currently available for the PC are Dragon NaturallySpeaking and IBM ViaVoice. Microsoft have included their own speech recognition system within recent versions of Windows. There is now a version of IBM ViaVoice for recent Apple Mac computers. Hardware Issues At the same time as the software has been changing, computer prices have continued to drop and the power of a typical desktop machine has grown to such an extent that SR software will run on almost any standard PC manufactured in the past couple of years, provided that it has sufficient memory.

  • The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies
    THE ROUTLEDGE COMPANION TO REMIX STUDIES The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies comprises contemporary texts by key authors and artists who are active in the emerging field of remix studies. As an organic interna- tional movement, remix culture originated in the popular music culture of the 1970s, and has since grown into a rich cultural activity encompassing numerous forms of media. The act of recombining pre-existing material brings up pressing questions of authen- ticity, reception, authorship, copyright, and the techno-politics of media activism. This book approaches remix studies from various angles, including sections on history, aes- thetics, ethics, politics, and practice, and presents theoretical chapters alongside case studies of remix projects. The Routledge Companion to Remix Studies is a valuable resource for both researchers and remix practitioners, as well as a teaching tool for instructors using remix practices in the classroom. Eduardo Navas is the author of Remix Theory: The Aesthetics of Sampling (Springer, 2012). He researches and teaches principles of cultural analytics and digital humanities in the School of Visual Arts at The Pennsylvania State University, PA. Navas is a 2010–12 Post- Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Information Science and Media Studies at the University of Bergen, Norway, and received his PhD from the Program of Art and Media History, Theory, and Criticism at the University of California in San Diego. Owen Gallagher received his PhD in Visual Culture from the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) in Dublin. He is the founder of TotalRecut.com, an online com- munity archive of remix videos, and a co-founder of the Remix Theory & Praxis seminar group.

  • OSINT Handbook September 2020
    OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information.
