Incredible! Thank you Steve for the well thought-out post. A bigger thank you for taking the risk by posting this new information with the threat of everyone jumping on you. ...What the heck ever happened to critical thinking? Oh yeah, people's emotions and sense of righteousness blocks all rational thinking. Note: I'm replying because this is a new thread, but it has the same potential to get some list members all twisted up, so I think I've said enough.

Thinking that it was one I hadn't heard before, I downloaded it and listened. I got about two minutes into it, and realized I had indeed heard it before. If any of you who complained about Joseph's having posted this link would have done the same, you all would have heard what I heard the first time, and then again just now, that this release was already in public beta, there were no non-disclosure agreements violated, nothing was being disclosed that should not have been, information about it was all over everywhere, and that Shawn was simply going to spotlight, if you will, the accessibility features that had changed, something that most other YouTube videos would doubtfully have covered. All of you people who bashed Joseph for posting the link really need to grow up and get your facts straight before jumping on your keyboards and writing about things of which you know nothing. You wonder why there is so much dissention in the blind community about anything at all? It's because, while everybody has an opinion, nobody seems to have the facts. Opinions are cheap--everybody has one. Facts, now, they're expensive. They require thought and research. Exercise the same before bashing somebody who tried to do you a favor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
