  • Blind users still struggle with ‘maddening’ computing obstacles

    ComputerWorld article discusses the frustrations of users with visual impairments: “Welcome to the world of the 1.3 million Americans who are blind. For them, the world of personal computers, office automation and the Internet offers mixed blessings. That world wasn’t designed for them, but with the right assistive technology, they can take part in it. When everything works well, they have access to an ocean of information vastly greater than anything previously available to the blind.

  • The Web Beyond the Desktop

    People interact with web sites and web apps in many ways… beyond the desktop. I’ve used my Sidekick to update my Twitter page. I’ve accessed web sites through mobile phones and some experiences were horrible even though they were specific sites for PDAs and phones!

    I tried to accesed my e-mails while on a short trip without a laptop (seriously) and it took way too long to select and delete e-mails. I decided it wasn’t worth the effort and that I’ll just have to put up with hundreds of messages upon my return.

    Dave Shea explores how and where people access web sites and gives advice on building web sites that can be viewed in a variety of devices.

  • Firefox 3 Ready to Meet the Public

    Reuters reports that Mozilla says Firefox 3 is set to go. I still haven’t upgraded to Firefox 2 on my main computer because it has one key feature missing — session manager.

    I know you can look in the history, but that doesn’t work for me. I prefer my previous session to pop back up exactly as it was before I closed Firefox. Tried to find a solution to this, but never found one.
