Lots when you consider that almost everyone on every platform has a PDF reader to work with that signature, whereas not many people have GPG or GPG tools that are friendly to the non-technical users.

You might consider some people won't be able to use this calendar as-is; it isn't accessible. Consider http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/201302/making_elements... and perhaps change the spans to nati

Still not seeing any technical details about if this is a native implementation of Android or virtualized with QNX. One of the key issues with their past approach was lack of any accessibility at the system API level. I wonder if they will

Do you think teams will be able to leverage the same spatial visual information to provide or pair with technologies for spatial audio? A lot of the game libraries assume and need 3d rendering in order to provide proper sound blocking (from

I hope they find a way to add this to a portable device for end users. Here in DC I've suspected the air in the metro stations (underground train) is many times worse than the above ground sampling.

Just wondering if this library provided keyboard access only manipulation, would you have expected it to provide mouse events? I'm biased on the keyboarding should be required perspective: I deal with accessibility day in and day out,

Open access is a recurring problem, addressed to some degree with presidential orders. You might be interested in FASTR (Fair Access to Science and Technology Research Act): https://plus.google.com/u/0/+PeterSuber&

In my line of accessibility work, I find QA fills the role of testing to educate. If the engineers don't have the experience, looping issues into the backlog, gives them the experience to train up the skill set. They might have had ver

I'm not confused as to why, but there is pretty good summaries out there: http://josefprusa.cz/open-hardware-meaning/ - all comes down to trying to market to, and mangle the definition of open source hardware IMHO

I wish they would have better explored "2. People Have Limitations" via mental models and not been biased by "(as humans are 90% visual creatures)." Designing for and separating visuals from content can strengthen not on

The most frugal approach might be to consider a trackball, followed by a full computer drawing table (e.g., http://goo.gl/qlHnlz or equivalent). Depends on the nature of her tremor or shake. Alternatively, get her a gaming

Based on end-user experience during accessibility testing, I'm pretty sure they do detect the presence of tools such as AdBlock, test to see if certain elements were successfully provided before continuing with a specific set of ads, a

It would be interesting to see the same sort of diagram and discussion in the linked article that includes what happens when end users are using the AdBlock or Hosts block techniques.

Good work! Could be better, as no accessibility for people with disabilities referenced at a technical conformance level: this needs to be a part of the guidelines. Keyboard access (e.g., http://www.linuxfoundation.org/colla

How do you expect people to do this from a keyboard?

I really wonder about the utility of something like this tool. I enjoy and encourage building new things "just because" but I can help but think the point to PDFs is to have complete visual control of layout and formatting while p

OMG! I can improve the audio 200% by simply setting: pactl set-sink-volume alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo 200% Teh sound is so much more sound-ier! Way much more cranked up than the lame defaults! http://goo.gl/T

It is certainly not backwards compatibility. Every internal review of Microsoft systems within the government indicates they upgrade whenever possible, even to the detriment of keeping versions that "just work". That is one of the

One of the biggest reasons isn't just the licensing and individual system, but the supporting systems and processes: certification and accreditation processes for security, ability to only pay for one year at a time due to legalities o
