MacSpeech: Getting a Word In Macwise
It's been a dozen years since MacSpeech came out with some of the first speech recognition software for Mac users, but that hasn't stopped the company from innovating.

In late February, Salem, N.H.-based MacSpeech released MacSpeech Dictate 1.3. Just a few months before in November, MacSpeech Dictate 1.2 came out. The software costs $199 and includes a headset microphone for dictation.

Mac OSX update 10.5.7 nearly ready
World Of Apple bring back to the news that a beta build of Mac OS X 10.5.7 was given by Apple to the developers. If it corrects more than 80 items, there is only one thing that officially poses a problem, this is its incompatibility with the beta of Safari 4.
However the developers are requested to focus their tests on the Flash Player, USB storage, MobileMe synchronization…
If no major bug is found, it should soon be made public, which we await impatiently, since the delivery of Radeon HD 4870 is blocked for old Mac Pro until its release (it includes also the drivers for these cards, which are otherwise only available in a specific system of the new Mac Pro).
