Serotek Announced the resignation of 5 Staff Last Friday in the US   Letting 5 staff go for what ever reason really should have been immediately followed up by a proper press release.   These are the folks that produce System Access, SAMN, Docuscan, iBlink Radio, and several well known podcasts including Serotek’s weekly technology podcast.   Official statement link follows but this could have been handled a lot better on Twitter over the week end where it got a bit nasty on Serotek’s behalf of which these Tweets by the company have now been deleted.   The official blog release didn’t arrive until Monday Aussie time, a bit late.     So no more podcasts it looks like from Serotek, but we’ll have to wait and see.   According to the company their still on track for the future.      http://www.serotek.com/blog_revving_up_for_the_road_ahead   Global RED Campaign to Fight AIdS Supported by Apple   From November 24 through to December 4, Apple is supporting the RED global campaign to fight th...

Talking tech for November 11 2014   A bit of a mixed bag this week.   Podcasts from me   I’ve started producing a number of podcasts on Yosemite (OS X 10.10).  At this time they include making calls from your Mac via iPhone, answering calls on your Mac via iPhone, Hand Off between iPhone and Mac, Notifications Centre, iBooks, and toggling adjustment volume sound. Have posted 4 of these so far to my podcast blog at:   http://davidwoodbr.podbean.com   iOS app: Tap To Share   When doing my demo of Notifications Centre and Tweeting about what I was doing a demo on, a person on Twitter commented that it would be nice to be able to tweet from Notifications Centre on iOS, not just in Yosemite as was previously available.  A person commented with the Tap To Share app which puts a widget in the Notifications Centre to post to Facebook and twitter.   https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/taptoshare/id922023749?mt= 8   Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel more accessible on iOS with VoiceOver   Earlier t...
