[nabs-l] security alerts on the braillenote

Mon Mar 11 20:23:43 UTC 2013

Sara,
Some people want the ease of a notetaker built with braille displays and 
speech.
In  a  braille note, you can turn it off and turn it on and be in the same 
document and pick up where you left off.
Also it¡¯s a keyboard. Its user friend;ly; no double tapping or issues with 
swiping the wrong way.
You can also  go on google, facebook, etc with a netbook or laptop which is 
also portable.
It depends on your needs. I prefer phones with buttons; much easier to stay 
oriented. Not everyone wants or needs a I phone, and not everyone can afford 
it.

So, your argument seems kind of backward. True the braille note has its 
problems like these security issues you all brought up, but still its simple 
relatively speaking, user friendly, and is very powerful even without 
connecting to the internet. Some of us like notetaking and reading those 
notes in braille. true you can connect some displays to the Iphone, but I 
heard its not an exact science and those small displays sure cannot fit much 
braille on them. You keep your Iphone if that is your preference, but, I 
hope humanware continues to improve the Braillenote and stay up with 
technology.

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.

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
