Hello Chris

Speaking as somebody with vision, this article came across to me as really 
patronising to those without vision. He makes a lot of assumptions regarding 
what is and what is not "useful" to those of us with sight. It seems obvious to 
me that this person is not interested in the least in accessibility and 
definitely has no idea of what being vision impaired really means.

Yes, he's sort of promoting VoiceOver; but I think he's done nothing to 
persuade the visually abled community to take it seriously. I'm biassed, of 
course, because I have a visually impaired spouse. Nevertheless, I do not 
believe this article is particularly helpful. OK, he lists a few gestures and 
commands; but really he seems to be under the impression that VoiceOver is just 
a toy. He makes a lot of assertions that various functions are useless to the 
non-vision impaired. I take issue with a lot of them. I have full vision but 
still find VoiceOver to be an incredibly useful tool under both iOS and Mac OS.
