Wait. Lead developer? I thought that it was a group of people
that developed the software for Apple, not just a one man job.
OK, maybe he had the highest ranking, but surely he isn't the
only one who was doing this stuff. I mean really!
Chris.

yes I certainly understand your points and I can see where
almst all of them would be valid. But I wonder if this is
part of the reason that Apple has told their lead software
developer to leave besides the fact he screwed up the maps on
the IOS devices.

Frankly, I too have developed different type platform
software, so I too know what goes into it. What I can tell
you is the fact. Apple is dropping care more and more for
accessibility.
Let me support my reasonnings.
Retna Display Eye Candy
* It seems lately all they care about is the new pretty
eye-candy one gets with the new retina displays
* Look at the new IPads and the new IMac coming out in
December. Everyone's cuttling and cooing over the cute
beautifully gorgeous display
* Everyone loves that the new IOS displays are a higher
megga pixil ratio of 1024X768
Facetime
* Who in the blind community cares that the front eyesight
camera on IOS devices is twice the pixil ratio!?
New Developments
* Developing a really pretty lookin' doo-hicky cord for I
O S called lightning interface, which really doesn't
live any more up to its own name than the speed of USB.
* IBooks has to be made more pretty, yeah there is the new
accessibility with reading pdf's, and that's great, but
not great for those of us who read books and not just
pdf's.
* ITunes Match is a great new feature, in fact, I'm a die
hard fanatic of it, but again, why develop new things
rather than maybe look more into things others have
asked for for years.
* ITunes Radio is great, but look at all the people who
have wanted the ITunes search box/feature in that source
so we don't have to scroll through a huge table, just to
find the dad blamed station we need. Believe you me,
I'm not the first one who's blind, who's requested this
dating as far back as several years ago.
* Adding new things to the Apple TV like Apple Events,
NBA, Hulu, Netflix, etc. Why not work on the things
that so many of us Apple TV users both blind and not
have truely asked for rather than new features to
surprise us.
* App store on IOS eye candy is terrible! They can't keep
it straight and once done, leave it alone. It always
has to be more pretty for the people who aren't blink
blinks. Of corse, don't remind them that every time
they change the store, they break it again and never
really seem to fix things until we rant and rave and
they finally hear enough of it.
* The new ear pods: What the heck! The initial ear buds
were not that great anyway, but now you're gonna make
these egg shaped things that poke into your ear canal
even more so, and make your ears even worse and clog up
your ears? Hear Apple, wanna peace a my ear wax?
* The new IPod Touch and new IPhone 5: OK big frickin
deal. A bigger screen that's longer than the 4S
predecessor.
* The new ITunes store look/feel that came into 10.7. Is
there really any quote: difference? I sure don't see any.
* What about the Apple cinema displays. Sure they're real
nice. Real nice and expensive. Real nice and bulky for
us who couldn't care two licks less if we had a 1
centimeter screen vs. a 1000 kilometer sized screen. We
can't see anyway. who cares!
See what I mean? It's all the hife about looky do this,
looky do that. Looky do me, with a baseball bat! BTW, are
they punting? Sorry, inside joke. Seriously though... I
don't doubt that they are listenning to feedback, I agree
with you whole heartedly, but are they listenning only to
the feedback they like and wanna hear is the question. I
too am sorry to sound so blunt/rough, but in my defense, you
have to admit whether you want to or not, I do stand some
valid points. Maybe if not many, I do at least, stand some.
Chris.
