The battle for Operating System supremacy in the world of tomorrow; that’s the thought running through my head.  I can’t help, but think about the position Apple has placed themselves in.

Apple came out of the shadows with the iPhone and every other ‘i’ device they can think of and most recently the iPad. But obviously the biggest mistake they made was restricting themselves to the AT&T market; there’s not much to be proud of there. And while the iPhone is a great device, the service reflected badly on the device and customers don’t care who’s at fault, they just want it to work.

Google has been working in the background developing Android. And the first release of Android, it’s been gaining more speed and support, and adoption.

I guess I’m a ‘dummy’… I guess I just don’t get the problem.

The argument is not so much can a car be self-sufficient, but can you really get away from a GAS fuel; I want to say yes- [to coin a phrase] yes we can.

These are some things, technologies and some people that need to sit down and talk and then create something that is absolutely amazing-  a self sufficient car. A car that requires no fuel; it just works.

Nuance is still working on the release of their Dragon NaturallySpeaking for smart phones. While the release for the iPhone is still planned, it seems to be delayed a bit. The first release or beta testing of Dragon NaturallySpeaking for a smart phone will be for the Blackberry.

The release of the iPhone version is slated for release later this year… This is still very exciting news.

With everyone I’ve spoken to, they are very interested in this ability; the ability to dictate a blog from their phone.

With 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.

As 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.

Every week there’s a new exploit, a new security problem, another program they wrote with a security flaw. It’s simply incredible to think that this is a company that is founded and dedicated to producing and supporting a Operating System that 90% of the world is using and yet it has to be patched on a monthly basis.

I don’t know for the life of me why these things even occur. I really just chalk it up to really bad programming skills.

Nuance has officially announced that they will now support Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 on on a 64-bit operating system, but I have successfully installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 on Windows this to 64-bit and Windows 7 64-bit.

Installation process for this versus Windows 7 for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9 is virtually identical.

There’s nothing dangerous about this process.

The installation files from Dragon NaturallySpeaking are copied to the local hard drive, the installation MSI file is modified to root remove the launch conditions that prohibit installation onto a 64-bit operating system.

The rest of the installation is pretty much stock from Nuance.
