Sat Mar 3, 2012 6:27 am (PST) For you personally, it my not matter one damn bit. As a society, this is the most important a political issue out there. Way more important than "net neutrality." It should be at the top of Congresses agenda. This is not an issue of individual privacy. For most of us, most of the time, what's Google is doing, in specific, will not matter to you. Unless, of course, you are afraid of the almost imperceptible, psychological manipulation of your life by faceless, soulless entities with nearly unlimited resources. And let's say you don't fear soulless corporations, but you do fear the government (trying to cross partisan lines here) than consider that everything Google knows is easily accessible to the Feds via the Patriot Act. We have ONLY two options. Concede or protest. If we concede it is over. We will never regain this ground. If enough of us protest, maybe we can at gain some modicum of protection from this unfettered power. So how do you protest: 1) Stop using Google search. This is the big one. DuckDuckGo is an excellent symbolic choice because of their specific, high profile privacy policy. 2) Don't use Google+, at all. Just don't. This is actually the key to the entire policy. You don't need Google+. I don't care what all the tech writing fan-boys are telling you. 3) Stop using GMail. If you can't cancel your Gmail account, at least use another client to read your mail and don't use the GMail web page. If you can at least reduce your usage that would help. It is the combination of Google search, Google+, and GMail that makes what Google is doing so different, and so dangerous. Yes, Apple wants to do the same thing with iCould, and so does MS, and so does Facebook, but they can't yet. And the only thing that will stop them from doing this in the future (as in a year from now) is stopping Google. So what do I think will happen. Nothing. Unlike the Netflix debacle, we consumers have no money at stake. We will do pretty much anything to get "free" services. In this case, we will give up considerable autonomy... but we will never know it, and that's okay with us. Cheers, tod P.S. Sorry to be so dark. I actually love Google, more than Apple. Also scare me. Kinda like tigers. I would love to play with a tame tiger, but I would never overlook the fact that even a tame Tiger could rip me to shreds before I even knew what was happening.

Hi Darrell,
Everyone is different. In my case, no one would be interested in tracking my searches or reading my emails. There are many more people out there whose lives and information is more fascinating than mine. That's how I view it.

Sat Mar 3, 2012 6:36 am (PST) BTW, this is totally ON topic because of iCloud. This will be iCould's policy by 2013 if Google does not back down. iCloud will be at least as powerful as the Google empire quite soon thanks to the iPhone (at least in the US). Ironically, there is the slight possibility here that the two giants will choose to make this issue, respecting user privacy, a point of competition, if we care enough and show it. Facebook does not have a prayer in that fight.

Sat Mar 3, 2012 8:10 am (PST) Quit a few people pretty upset with Google and its privacy policy which I have to admit is very scary. I with a lot of you in that in that respect and believe that Google needs to be investigated concerning its bizarre idea of privacy. Now with that said, why has no one mentioned there other product … Android! This to me needs a little scrutiny also.

Sat Mar 3, 2012 9:00 am (PST) The point that everyone -- including Apple & Google -- seems to be missing is that all of the discussion could be rendered moot if both simply inserted an anonymizer between the user and its services. Apple and Googlel could still get their data without associating it with anyone's identity. This is one model being used in medicine, where HIPAA constrains the revelation of user identity from being linked with his data for the purposes of aggregation and analysis. At the moment, users can deploy a web anonymizer site such as http://www.anonymizer.com , but it is an extra step. The fact that neither Apple nor Google would pre-emptively include such technology, to me at least, shows their true colors. BTW, this is not the "double-edged sword" some people claim it to be. The sword has one edge and it's at your throat. The fact that you personally haven't been cut yet is purely random. As long as the potential for abuse exists -- including costly, life-damaging errors -- users are shouldering the risk, not Apple, not Google. Just ask anyone who's had his credit compromised or has been falsely prosecuted by a government agency. And remember: even if you prove yourself right, you have to spend your own money to do so. -- Rob Frankel, Branding Expert Twitter: @brandingexpert http://www.RobFrankel.com http://www.PeerMailing.com http://www.i-legions.com http://www.FrankelAnderson.com Yes, there's an RSS feed blog, if you can handle it: http://www.robfrankelblog.com - 1.7.

Sat Mar 3, 2012 9:37 am (PST) I would like to second fussy's request for further information. I do not use gmail, but have used Google for searching since I first heard of it back in the early '90s. I don't feel fussy's questions were answered as the conversation took off in the direction of search engines. I've been reading stuff about the privacy issues, but still have a lot of confusion about whether there really is anything to be overly concerned about above and beyond the usual concerns of putting yourself out there on the net. --- In macsupportcentral@yahoogroups.com, "fussyoldfart" <fussyoldfart@ ...> wrote:

Sat Mar 3, 2012 9:41 am (PST) Apple will control it's own search engine by the end of the year. If Google goes through with this, it would be irresponsible for Apple not to replace Google search with it's own default search engine in Safari. It will likely happen in any case. Apple can (unlike anyone else) make Apple the exclusive search engine on iPhones and iPads. It likely won't (monopolistic) but it will discourage the use of alternatives.

The problem is that "privacy" is an abstract, difficult issue. What Google is doing represents a dramatic increase in it's ability to accumulate information about you, associate it with your "online presence," and sell this collected and analyzed information to others. In fact, no one really knows precisely what the impact will be, but it does represent a basic shift in power. This is less a "practical" issue than a philosophical one. It's about the checks and balances on a large information based companies (like Google) and their "right" to collect and use the information that you provide both directly and indirectly. This is less important today than it will be next year, and a decade from now, when almost every action you take will pass through the hands of such corporations.

I just got a new 14-megapixel digicam, replacing a 3-MP digicam. I
really chose this camera for features other than its resolution. It's
nice to have all this resolution in reserve, but for most of my
photos it's overkill.
My first few shots with the new camera are coming in at ~4.5MB per.
My concern is that this will eat up a lot of hard drive space, and my
weekly SuperDuper clones to an external drive (via FW400 interface)
will take longer.
So, is there an easy way in iPhoto to selectively reduce the
resolution of individual photos? If I drill down to the files in
Finder and reduce the resolution with a 3rd-party image editor, will
that confuse iPhoto? Thanks.

Andrew,
I think the easiest way to do what you want to is to change your camera settings so you don't get the high resolution photo's unless you select for them in the situations that you want. However if this doesn't work because you don't know when you might need the high resolution photos until after taking the shots, then I would do the following.
I think you will confuse iPhoto if you go into the original file folder in iPhoto and change it there. Editing in iPhoto won't resolve the space issue as the original version is also kept. I would suggest exporting the pictures, doing a batch modify with a 3rd party imager and then reimporting to iphoto (after deleting the originals).

Actually, you can export from iPhoto and choose your new, lower resolution at the same time. Them delete and re-import as you suggest. Otto [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] - 2d.

Howdy.
I set my Nikon digital 35mm camera to take pictures at 300 dpi. It
does them as a JPEG file.
JPEG is a lossy file format.
However, my Nikon, and many other digital cameras, will do a higher
resolution type of file in what is called RAW file format. This is a
big file. The RAW term is not standardized and each camera maker has a
different name for it.
If I think I'll want to print a picture I set the camera to the RAW
file format.
For most other pictures, I keep it at 300 dpi.
The pictures are then transferred to the Macintosh. If I want to email
a picture or display on a web site for viewing only, I use Photoshop to
change the image to 72 dpi. You can also use iPhoto to do this but I
think Photoshop does a more refined job of it.
This leaves me with the original 300 dpi JPEG images which I keep in
original format. However, a 300 dpi image, if reduced to a smaller
physical dimension, like 4x6 can be printed quite nicely but not as
nicely as a RAW file.

Fri Mar 2, 2012 6:40 pm (PST) The easiest (and FREE) way to do it is to use your backup of your iTunes library, I usually use TimeMachine for that. Since, you're inquiring here, I'm guessing you probably didn't backup.

Hi Ryan. You are correct, no backup. It was a pc sent in for warranty repair, and Staples decided not to repair, but to settle instead, so the computer did not return. Thus the decision to buy a Mac, the first in our family! Thanks for the info.

I hope this is not considered too far off topic here because I value the opinions of the people in this group. There is controversy currently about the changes Google has made to their privacy policy. Some say it threatens privacy, others say it makes no difference. Having been brought to our attention, has privacy been compromised already? Personally, my attempts to gently disentangle myself are proving difficult but I have a lot invested in my gmail address. What do members think one should do?

I've used IxQuick (is that what you meant?) for a long time. StartPage (same company as IxQuick) is a little different, but also doesn't track...see there website to learn the difference between the two. I just heard of DDG, and have used it a couple of times. I never use Google, or anything else.

Fri Mar 2, 2012 4:07 pm (PST) Hello, FYI: since the thread focused on search I felt like adding Geography. I have noticed that Google Maps has higher resolution [ortho and perspective projection in certain metro areas] than Bing. So, currently, features that make it easy to save locations and other metadata require that the individual provide extensive data to Google. However, Google maps is still completely usable. I just have to keep a list of addresses, lat/lon, start/end and other items in a word file or iWork. John F.

Google lied to Safari users by claiming to abide by "Do not track" settings while actively subverting Apple's privacy-protecting settings. And to claim that Apple is orchestrating the actions of the various privacy advocates, governmental agencies and other corporations (including Microsoft) that have found fault with Google's actions, all just to benefit iAd?

Fri Mar 2, 2012 8:01 pm (PST) I use my Android LTE phone on Verizon ($30/month) AND my Virgin Optimus V ($0/month) to tether. I am grandfathered unlimited on Vz, Virgin says they are switching to throttled after 2.5GB starting March 19, but they only slow you down to 256K. My iPhone was on ATT. Although I was grandfathered for unlimited, they throttled to the point it was unusable, so I dumped them. I hardly ever used my iPhone after I got the Android phone anyway. BTW, no contract required for tethering with Vz, you may incur a two year contract with a MIFI. If you have a smartphone, a MIFI device is just another device you don't need to carry or pay for. -Bob On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 6:26 PM, pat412255 < pat412@mac.com> wrote: > ** > > > Can anyone give me a recommendation for a device to provide WiFi while > traveling?

The big advantage is that all files related to an application can be put in a single file. No need to worry about having to track down files in different locations. There are actually times when flexibility is not a bad option.

The latest version of the game comes with in-app purchase options for equipment upgrades, two newly-introduced characters, and five additional in-game items to raise the excitement level of its players. The company also announced that the game is now available for free download on the App Store. Dover, Delaware - MegaCubic Entertainment, a mobile game development company, today is pleased to announce an update of its award-winning game title, Foodie the Bug, an iOS flying game that tells the story of a bug with insatiable appetite for tasty foods. The latest version of the game comes with in-app purchase options for equipment upgrades, two newly-introduced characters, and five additional in-game items to raise the excitement level of its players. The company also announced that the game is now available for free download on the App Store. In the recent update of Foodie the Bug, users are able to play as the two new game characters, Fatty and Mannie. Each of them is given special abilities such as detecting the food ingredients in advance or flying more swiftly to avoid being hit by the enemies. Moreover, players can use real world money to buy in-game currency, the jelly beans, to get upgrades and items like lollipops, bombs, energy drinks, etc. Since its release in early December of 2011, Foodie the Bug has earned high praise from a wide range of audiences and media. Its originality in game design and the developer's dedication has won the game a title of the Best Family-friendly App & Software in Mom's Choice Awards 2012. So far, the game includes five main stages: Egypt, Italy, Mexico, Japan, and China. Each stage has its unique game background and enemies pertaining to that specific country. Players need to tilt or tap on their iOS devices to keep the main character in the air while collecting food ingredients and jelly beans to unlock recipes and achievements. "Our players have reflected that Foodie the Bug is a bit of a challenge, and therefore, we've decided to decrease the level of difficulty by adding in-apps," said Kenny Su, CEO of MegaCubic Entertainment. "We also made the game downloadable for free so that more people can enjoy this wonderful food journey on their iPhone. Each update we release takes us one step closer to perfection."

This maintenance release contains a few fixes and follows the successful release of ChronoSync version 4.3. ChronoSync is the automated synchronization and backup application for Mac OS X and ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on the destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync. If you're synchronizing two Macs, then the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent is the answer. Casselberry, Florida - Econ Technologies updates ChronoSync to version 4.3.1 and ChronoAgent for Mac to version 1.3.1. This maintenance release contains a few fixes and follows the successful release of ChronoSync version 4.3. ChronoSync is the automated synchronization and backup application for Mac OS X and ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on the destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync. If you're synchronizing two Macs, sharing a folder on a Mac server between Macs, backing up one or more Macs to a Mac server, or even maintaining a bootle backup over a network, then the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent is the answer. ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac will run natively on both Power PC and Intel-based Macintosh computers running Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion. ChronoSync and ChronoAgent for Mac are available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Japanese. Download and try the demos, or purchase ChronoSync for $40 and ChronoAgent for Mac for $10. As always, all existing ChronoSync users update for free, forever. For more information go to econtechnologies. com.
ChronoSync is the easy way to synchronize, backup, and create bootable backups. Synchronize between folders on your Mac, other Macs, PCs, external drives or anything you can mount on your Mac. Set up a Synchronizer document to schedule and automatically mount volumes so your syncs and backups are never missed. Archive your data and go back in time to restore and view older files. With ChronoSync, you can do a lot more than just copy data, you can manage data, too. Exclude files and folders, check the current sync status of files, even run trial synchronizations to see what will happen before it happens.
ChronoAgent for Mac is a utility that runs on a destination Mac and communicates directly with ChronoSync. Normally, when you connect to another Mac you mount it using file sharing. ChronoAgent bypasses file sharing, giving you full access to the destination Mac and eliminating the need to mount via AFP, SMB or other protocols. If you gain full access to a Mac, you can copy any file, without full access some files are off limits. With the combination of ChronoSync and ChronoAgent you gain full access to both Macs, automatically backup a Mac when it joins on a network, maintain bootable backups over a network, encrypt data over a network, and more.

Fri Mar 2, 2012 8:15 am (PST) Shockingly Addictive Monster Puzzler Game Hits AppStore - Published on 03/02/12 IMMEDIATE RELEASE ScottiStudios has released a new game, receiving a great response: Entitled "Save the Monster", the app has just been released on the iPhone AppStore and has users glued to their handsets, after its release this week. The game employs quite a few features which have no doubt added to its success, including its unique game play, addictive levels and loveable main character. An update is expected in the coming weeks with more levels, Game Centre integration, and more fun. Lancashire, United Kingdom - The game has been classed as an Action Puzzler, with the player needing to control a monster that is being chased by "Evil Robot Guards". Dodging the guards is challenging enough, but not the only feature in the game. You must also collect the stars - placed in hard to reach areas, of course - to complete each level, with extra gems to collect within an allotted amount of time. The developer sums the up action in the description as "dodge past the evil robot guards, navigate the challenging levels, collect the golden stars, and get the heck out of there!" Save the Monster is set over two locations, or stages, The Beach and The Tundra, with a 3rd stage The Sahara being added shortly. Each stage presents the user with its own unique challenges, with different types of robots and added objects and puzzles for each. The game so far has had a good response from reviews and gamers, receiving 5/5 stars on the AppStore, and 4 stars from a UK based review website. "I've spent the last 8 months developing the game in my spare time." Says developer, Scott Walker. "It's been frustrating only being able to work on it for a few hours a week, but its been worth it in the end, after seeing the great feedback." "I developed the game on my own, from the game idea, design, development, art and even the music. It would have been too expensive to outsource these jobs, especially as it was just originally a side hobby. I hope that this encourages any Indie Developers that are making games and apps as a one-man-team that it can be done, and on a small (or no) budget." And there is more coming soon. An update is expected in the coming weeks with more levels, Game Centre integration, and more fun. Each of the many gorgeous colour HD-graphic levels brings new mind twisting challenges, heart pumping excitement, and finger tingling addiction. So put on your sneaking shoes, download the game and show little monster what you are made of! Scott is now hoping to start on more games, which should be appearing on the app store in the future.

Sat Mar 3, 2012 3:00 am (PST) IfAlarm: Wakeup Alarms Set By Real World Conditions - Published on 03/03/12 IMMEDIATE RELEASE Big Paua today introduces IfAlarm 1.0, its new alarm and reminder solution for iPhone, iPad & iPod touch devices. IfAlarm takes the newest ideas in alarm clocks and goes a few steps further. Including standard sleep cycle monitoring, as well as monitoring weather conditions and sleep duration, alarms can be set not just by time but by a range of real world conditions. IfAlarm allows the user to set alarms not just by times but by real world conditions. If it's a beautiful day wake me at sunrise. Pauanui, New Zealand - Big Paua is pleased to announce IfAlarm for iPhone, available today for $1.99 on the App Store. IfAlarm takes the newest ideas in alarm clocks and goes a few steps further. Including standard sleep cycle monitoring, as well as monitoring weather conditions and sleep duration, alarms can be set not just by time but by a range of real world conditions. Alarm clocks have come a long way. It's not uncommon for an alarm clock to analyse sleep cycles, waking from light sleep, or to keep a detailed sleep log. But there's one thing they all still have in common with old analogue alarms: a time is set, and rain or shine the alarm goes off then. But sometimes one wants to (or has to) get up early, or should have but didn't. Sometimes the alarm goes off when told but sleeping longer would have been better. IfAlarm is the first ever alarm to set alarms not just by times but by real world conditions. If Alarms are set like they're said: * "If it's a beautiful day wake me at sunrise." * "If I slept at least 6 hours wake me shortly after." * "If it's been raining wake me around 7, otherwise wake me at 8." * "If it's been snowing and it's a clear day wake me at sunrise, otherwise don't wake me at all." IfAlarm keeps track of the details while asleep, and intelligently wakes up when asked, in plain English. Set alarms to wake early to avoid bad traffic, to go for a morning stroll, a dawn surf, to be the first on the mountain if there's fresh powder, or sleep in till the last minute if really needed. Partial Features List: * "I slept at least X hours" * "The weather is ..." (clear, rainy, snowing, etc) * "The temperature is ..." * "The wind speed is ..." (calm, breeze, gail, etc) * "The wind direction is ..." * "Wake me at sunrise/sunset" * Sleep state aware wakeup times ("around ...", "by ...", "shortly after") * Strict wakeup times ("at ...", "immediately" )
* Sleep logging and analysis
Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 2.4 MB
Pricing and Availability:
IfAlarm 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Weather category.

Hello Folks,
My son is currently deployed in Asia. He lost his iPhone last week. He
reached an area where there is WiFi now, and when he turned on his iPad his
photos from his phone started to download into his iPad. It's taking
awhile, but they are showing up one by one.
We will get a replacement phone for him, plug it into his iTunes account,
set it up, then send it to him in Okinawa. He has not plugged either his
phone or his iPad into a computer (iTunes) since he got them.
Can anyone tell me what will happen when we plug his phone into iTunes?
Will it restore to where it was when he plugged it in last time? Or will it
restore to where it was when he lost his phone?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Janet

You would also be able to send an alarm and also remote wipe the device.

It depends. If he had set backup to this computer or set backup to iCloud. If he set backup to this computer, what will be restored is what was on the phone when he last plugged into your computer. If he had set to backup to iCloud then what would be backed up is what was on his phone at the time of this last data connection. Note that to get the iCloud backup, you don't need to plug into iTunes but do it from the settings screen on the iPhone.

Fri Mar 2, 2012 5:33 am (PST) Thank you for the link! I hoped the app would allow emailing the converted web page to my Evernote account but Readability only allows emailing a link. :-( I have yet to find a reliable way to get a web article saved to Evernote in a decent format. I've tried using Evernote's MemClip with mostly unsatifactory results. It crashes a lot. I've taken to copying the article from Safari's web page and pasting it into Evernote with mixed results. I never could get the Evernote add-on installed on iOS Safari to send directly. After several frustrating attempts, I've given up on that route. If anyone has a better method of moving clean versions of articles to Evernote than my cludges, I'd be very happy to hear about them. That said, Readability looks like an interesting app in its own right.

For all its popularity, I think regular texting is a huge pain with those of us who feel their thumbs grow to the size of Texas when beginning a message, so I avoid it. Don't understand why a voice message isn't the preference with the majority.
One thing I can't avoid is the occasional need to enter a long password for such things as the Apple App Store. As you type, you only see what you've typed for a split second before it turns to bullets to prevent spying eyes from watching. I'm constantly having to start over. After a while, many sites will lock you out after too many attempts.
Is there a recommendation that is safe and reliable that will allow me to make that easier for Texas Thumbs? Either another app or some trick that will help?

In the 3 years I've been using iPhone, I don't think I have ever been moved to using my *thumbs* to enter text. Usually my right index finger, which is half the width of my thumb. If that fails you, go to Macworld.com and look for Serenity Caldwell's stylus reviews.

Fri Mar 2, 2012 8:48 am (PST) I use 1Password for all my passwords. It works and syncs with pc, mac, iphone, etc through Dropbox, so your passwords are always up to date. You can launch the app, choose the site you want to go to, and it will take you there, filling in the password/username for you. It does so much more than passwords too - including wallet items, notes, all secure and locked up tight! It costs a little ($10-$15?), but is so worth it! https://agilebits.com/onepassword Janet Mike G Atlanta wrote: > Is there a recommendation that is safe and reliable that will allow me to make that easier for Texas Thumbs?

Fri Mar 2, 2012 9:24 am (PST) My fingers are not only the size of Texas but sometimes I think I'm touching with the panhandle but I'm really touching with Brownsville. One password is very good but it's browser is not quite as good as Safari. I don't think you can use it to enter the password for the app store. I just pay more attention I watch that letter or number before it turns into a bullet. I am slow and I watch the key show that it's been typed and now I only mistype occasionally. I am also very thankful for Siri. This was typed using Siri with a few corrections.

It's somewhat clumsy and round-about, but you can go to 1Password, look up and COPY the password for a site, than go to the site in Safari, and PASTE the password in. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
