A note here. I was just thinking about the way they can do random FACE RECOGNITION via computers these days. Now, wouldn't it be just wonderful if they could adapt this to HOSTA LEAF RECOGNITION? Don't laugh too quickly, it could happen if someone decided to work on it. It is after all a matter of PATTERN RECOGNITION? And another little tidbit of information related to nothing in particular, except it stuck in my mind the first time I heard about it 40 years ago.....Did you know that during WWII the USA hired or assigned mostly WOMEN to analyzing camouflaged fortifications and such as that, because IN GENERAL women were better (significantly so, as I was told) at PATTERN RECOGNITION than men? It could be put to a test related to hosta. For instance, do you think that men or women would win a contest of recognizing hosta from their patterns? :) Give me some app that could do like the OCR scanner on my phone with hosta leaves, and I'd love for it to identify all my NOIDS.

I updated my mini. I don't see it as an improvement at all. It feels like change for change sake -- something to make the stockholders happy. No common sense applied. I spent two hours with the online cheat sheets undoing "improvements." It's harder to read. I hate the ugly blue background and it forced me to take a photo of my table and use that temporarily because they deleted the other choices. Some of the icons are weird looking. It's slow and not all the apps are fully compatible. I'm waiting to update the other device until I'm forced to because that's the one I use every day. Perhaps there is something this new OS does better than the old one. I just haven't found it.

Try some of the other browsers available in the Apple Store, there's a Firefox option now too. Look into it because there's an adblock for it. Adblock is the best adblocker. http://www.virtualfirefox.com/adblock-for-ipad I have heard that Perfect browser is a good alternative. Other browsers potentially could have better ad blocking options. Do a Google search for browsers for iPad great information there. Are you sure you got Adaware? Because it's not an ad blocker, it's a malware, Spyware, etc removal tool. Not used much near as much these days as it was years ago.

Wow, what a neat thing. Thank you for posting this. My hubby is nearly totally blind, I'm almost always with him, lol, but this sure would be useful for folks who don't have someone close by.
