Adobe to 64-bit users: NO FLASH PLAYER FOR YOU!

Adobe 64bit MissingYou’ve got to be kidding me. 64-bit machines have [not are] flooded the market. Everyone has witnessed the flood of 64-bit systems to the market and yet there’s no 64-bit FLASH player!

Nah, forget it Internet Explorer users I’m not even discussing Internet Explorer. Just about as far as anyone cares, that browser is dead. Even a person that missed passing his SAT’s by 2400 point knows NOT to use Internet Explorer.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking ‘Essentials’ Customers: No Updates for you!

image I’m very disappointed in Nuance.

I saw on the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Facebook {April 8th 2009} that Nuance has decided not to support or honor their earlier statements to support the ‘Essentials’ customers.

For months, Dragon NaturallySpeaking customers have been promised updates. Nuance is showing that they are not people of their word.

They have practiced deception and discrimination with their ‘Essentials’ customers. They knew- they knew they were not going to support those customers and said nothing; announced nothing.

They wait until there’s a release/update and then unload on those customers the bad news.

64-bit Web Browsing: Slow Market Penetration

image 64-bit PC’s and laptops are hitting the market consistently now. 64-bit systems are flooding the market, just one of the lacking points is the development of a 64-bit browsers and their components.

It’s pretty obvious that the software developers don’t place a lot of emphasis on this fact.

The natural evolution of software says you’ve got to go to 64-bit . You might as well take advantage of another processor and resources; resulting in faster and a more responsive browsing experience.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking Essentials – the Orphan

image.pngDragon NaturallySpeaking to Nuance is a bastard child to a really great family.

Referencing a post I made a while back, it referred to the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Essentials suite from Nuance. The Essentials suite is a custom package that’s only sold at target; ONLY at Target for $40.

See Nuance doesn’t sell Essentials anywhere else, but Target. The Essentials is not listed on the Nuance website and is not offered to the public as a comparison product. Nuance writes the program, distributes it to Target and supports it, but yet it’s hidden from view. You can’t buy Essentials from Nuance. They don’t want you to.

Released: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 [64-bit]

Dragon_yeaWith great anticipation, the new version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking has been released. It’s not a 64-bit application, but it’ll install- and that’s what’s important.

The 64-bit version of Dragon NaturallySpeaking can be downloaded from here. Hopefully, you’re not limited by 5gb cap and can spare some bandwidth, the download is 1.5gb.

Nuance is going to allow you to download the MSI installer for free, but if you want a DVD with the installer, you pay $10. So download the file and burn it your self.

Update: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 64-bit

Nuance Dragon Naturally SpeakingAs a registered user of Nuances Dragon NaturallySpeaking, I’m just as frustrated at the handling of Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 AND 10 as everyone else is, but Nuance is close to releasing the 64-bit version of v10.

If you search the support forums over at Nuance, you’ll find articles from 2006 requesting 64-bit versions of Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but all you’ll see is ‘…that platform is not supported’.

In September 2008, or shortly before, Nuance 64-bit users were greatly disappointed again to find Nuance had once again dismissed them. Not only had they ignored the requests from v9, but they had continued their disregard for their customers by releasing v10 with no 64-bit support.

Minefield: Firefox 64bit – Still early…

image I guess I’m among the early few that have a 64-bit operating system. While I can benefit from the speed and the additional resources, I have to put up with the shortcomings of various software providers.

I was looking to take advantage of my system and it’s resources, so I recently downloaded Mozilla’s version of the 64-bit browser called Minefield. It’s an early version of Firefox 64-bit… surely it’ll eventually be renamed to Firefox as it should.

Installing Minefield is no different than installing Firefox, but Minefield obviously performs a lot better in its native environment, but people like myself can’t take full advantage of a web browser like this because Adobe doesn’t provide a 64-bit version of their flash player. This makes using Minefield a problem in most cases. Read more…
