Well said.
As one of my favorite fictional characters said:
You can get more with a kind word and a 2 by 4 than you can with just a kind
word.
:D
Ricardo, you are absolutely right about standing up and saying what needs
saying in spite of any perceived futility. Drop Box needs to hear us all. Of
yes but when an ap WAS accessible and no longer is that should be criminal
and is disghusting let's hope that they give a damn and fix it if all
developers didn't care abot s we wouldn't have the mac at all and i think apple
does realise that alot of us are trning to the mac for accessibility
Hi all!
As someone else said it is not Apples place to make dev's add accessibility!
But [ and I do not know how this would work] could the apps star rating be
made, so it would only get 5 stars if it is accessible!
Somehow only people who use accessibility could put a rating that no one else
Hi Colin:
Excellent idea! Anyone can wine and complain about a product or write a
nasty-gram. A well-put together constructive criticism might actually do some
good.

We've had several discussions on the viphone list about this.
People's opinions vary on this subject, mine is below.
There is currently no bar that is well defined about what it means
to be accessible using VO.
We've talked about just allowing users to rate a product based on
accessibility or
Yeah, but the thing is, we're such a tiny piece of the market that our money
doesn't do anything here nor there. Just think for a while, how many are blind
in the world, and i mean all of the world? How many of the blind are using an
Apple product? How many of those Apple product users are on
I already did a youtube vid. just go to my youtube link in my sig and click

I pointed the dropbox devs to my youtube vid but they didn't even seem to look
at it. at least I don't think so based on there response. so maybe the one who
got the more detailed response can point them to what I did to demonstrate and
see if that helps them at all as it is a screenshot vid.
What a strange post.
I have to say the same thing I did then. So what? Just because they choose to
ignore you, doesn't mean you should just give up. I will draw a parallel but
off course this was a much bigger deal. When African Americans marched and
petitioned for civil rights, I'm sure
I agree with this 100 %.

why does the nfb never get into cases like this yet they destroy our chances
for getting discriptive tv programming... wht are these groups like the nfb
and the acb doing for us? they probably don't care after all their
leadership are all people with PLENTY of money so what do theyc
well honestly I don't think it matters what we do short of a class action
lawsuit because like most things noone cares unless you bust them over the
head with a 2x4 lol most buisness people I uspect are abotu as stubborn as

and I'm not willing to go there. I'll probably though ask cnet if I can write

I did. if htey except it hten yeppy for me. more way of getting the message out
there. but firsst I have 3 tests to take for my systems
Hi.
Ok I wrote to dropbox yesterday, and I got an answer back, where they asked me
if I could give them more details.
I think that, if you write a mail to them, and describes the problems, I think
they will try to solve it, that's how I understand it. we need to be positive,
when we are
that's what I did as well and they asked me for more details as well and then
they said we are aware of it and working tward a fix. that was a year ago and
again a few months ago and again last month. I've given up and will take this
to CNET news as soon as I have the time to write something
Like I said they don't care and they don't have to.
Every one that put me down for saying the above what do you have to say now.

Are you suggesting that every developer should make sure that every
app is VO accessible before the app store carries it? That wuld be
tantamount to saying that every app must be availble in, insert
obscure written language here, before it could be sold in the iTunes
store.
So, I say to pick
Er, apologies for the reference to the iTunes store. I forgot which
list I was writing to.
My point stands though. It is not realistic to assume that every Mac
application should be voiceover friendly before the developer can make
money from it.

Look, here's how I see it. They've been telling us for about two years that
they know about the accessibility issues witth Drop Box. Every single time one
of us writes them about it, all we hear back is, We're aware of the problem.
I reckon it's high time one of us or maybe a bunch of us
Why not just get a mobile me account and use iDisk instead? Hit them where it

You write:

problems we've been having with Drop Box, all we hear from you is, We're
aware
of it and are working on it.. Really? Where's the evidence of your work?
You keep saying that you are aware, yet, we see no results.
Good point.
