*swoosh*

There are some features that a blind person could use for sure, they show a bunch of stuff with "regular people" using it (at which point I was like "hey, that's pretty cool I bet that would be handy for...") and then they show a blind person (at which point I was thinking "oh well there ya go") then I realized they were playing a Ray Charles tune ...

There's a point where you realize when something is patronizing, and it's right there.

I suppose, but then again Apple likes to note things with music and he is basically the most known blind singer...

One of Mozilla's Blind from Birth accessibility testers raved about the 3GS and how it guides you to whats on screen and next to your finger etc.

10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope, and Johnny Cash - Now we have no Jobs, No Hope, and No Cash :" (

^ a comment from that time in 2007 when Jobs and Gates were interviewed in 2007 at "D5"


Jobs appeared again in 2010 at "D8" -- and was visibly less healthy

I recognize the white books with the rainbow-coloured band on them on the bookshelf in the left picture, but I can't remember what manuals those were for...  Pretty sure those were the Mac manuals, weren't they?
