    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 c…

    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 a…

    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 …

    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 abov…

    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 pers…

    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:…

    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 experi…

    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 defini…

    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 vi…

    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…

    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 p…

    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 comple…
