[nabs-l] security alerts on the braillenote

[Sarah]

Yeah my point is the same why in the world would you have to pay 
over $5,000 for a device that can barely do more than go on 
Facebook or google or Bookshare when an iPhone costs less than 
half the price and you can do anything on it.

Subject: Re: [nabs-l] security alerts on the braillenote

I think i saw something about it on the BN mailing list, but 
someone said their computer was doing it too, and I have not had 
that problem.  Overall, the thread on it was not too helpful, but 
maybe I just didn't dig deep enough.

Another bad part about all this is, I can't even exit the 
internet because the dialog pops up again.  I have to reset my 
BN.

It's sadly getting to the point where, if not for the braille 
display, the BN would not be worth having…at least that's my 
thinking.

I know the BN can only do so muc, but if it were half as good as 
a mobile device that would be something.  I don't mean to bash 
the braillenote or the manufacturer, and I appologize if my tone 
is coming across as such, it's just…to spend that much money on a 
device and have your iphone/ipad, which coasts a fifth of the 
price, work more flawlessly is a wee bit disappointing.

Maybe humanware should up the game and make a iphone/ipad docking 
station with a braille display at the bottom…or an iphone/ipad 
case with a braille display somehow built in.  You have to admit, 
that would be beautiful.  :)

If anyone figures out a way around this, please let me know.  
Thanks so much.

 good evening Valerie.  I get those annoying things all the time! 
I can not figure a way around them either.  Do you know of  the 
braillenote mailing list?

 Hi,

 Quick question.  Does anyone ever get a ton of security alerts 
while using the internet on the braillenote apex?  When I go to 
facebook or bookshare, I'll get:
 Security alert dialog.
 informationyou exchange with this site cannot be viewed or 
changed by others.  However, there is a problem with the site's 
security certificate.  The security certificate is from a trusted 
certifying athority.
 The security certificate date is valid.
 The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not 
match the name of the site.
 Do you want to continue?

 The problem is:
 1.  I can sometimes get eight or ten of these in a row, and I 
just hit yes on it.
 2.  When i'm moving to a new line on the dialog, the braillenote 
lags.  for example, from "The name on the security certificate is 
invalid…" to "do you want to continue…" it takes the braillenote 
a second at most to jump from those two line.  When you're 
dealing with four lines, that's four seconds, just to get to the 
prompt.  With all of that added up, it takes about a minute to 
get past that.  I even tried hitting "no" on the prompt and it 
still brings up security stuff..

 Any advice, suggestions, helpful hints, complaints such as this, 
etc? :)

 Thanks
