Re: [AI] about nokia phone,

[Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan]

Does it mean that links, lists, tables are not announced at all?
Please clarify. And the contact window usually consists of simple list
in most Nokia models. Is it graphical in C5? What about it's e-mail
program? It used to be inaccesible in N97, but they addressed the
issue in their latest version.

Re: [AI] Using wireless keyboard with Nokia N79

[Adhimoolam Vetrivel Murugan]

That's done through bluetooth. In fact it used to be the case that the
I-phone could not be connected with bluetooth keyboard, but with the
latest firmware it has been addressed. Apple has it's own keyboard,
but I heard that it could not be folded. Freedom input has come out
with a keyboard for I-phone which is very compact and foldable. I
think it costs around 59 British pounts or about 70 US$.

Re: [AI] Suggestions needed for Laptops, & Windows XP or Windows 7?

[Srinivasu Chakravarthula]

Hi,

Apologies, have not followed complete thread. But if someone is
investing, it's certainly worth investing on Windows 7 and not on XP.
It is much better both from features and accessibility prospective. It
may take a while to getting familiar with interface but none other
issues.

 From Barbara Pierce: In the past, would-be helpful Hannahs have
invented combination white canes and snow shovels for the blind, special
toilet paper dispensers for the blind, red strobe lights and flashlights
clipped to the cane for use at intersections, and dozens of other pointless
devices. Now Swedish researchers have decided that, because we can't
identify facial expressions, we need computerized assistance in order to
converse effectively with others. It is possible that such technology might
be helpful to some people on the autism spectrum who cannot make connections
between facial expressions and the emotions that cause them, but aiming such
research at solving nonexistent problems for blind people is perverse and
will only complicate our efforts to persuade people that we are normal folks
who can't see. As Mary Ellen Gabias pointed out in her message transmitting
the following report, "This sort of research is particularly harmful to
parents of blind children who already wonder how their kids will interact
socially. If some of these researchers have their way, the blind will become
bionic people with computers and other machines poking out of every pocket
and attached to every body part. I understand that some sighted people don't
know what to do at first when they can't make eye contact with a blind
person, but let's not get carried away."
 Mary Ellen is a longtime Federationist who lives with her husband and
children in British Columbia, where she is a leader of the Canadian
Federation of the Blind. After she read this article in the April 28, 2010,

**
 I read in Science Daily for April 28 about a new device which your
organization has researched to help blind people read the emotional content
of facial expressions through a tactile display. I believe your research is
predicated on a false premise. It is true that sighted people use facial
expressions to determine the emotional state of the person with whom they
are interacting. However, the fact that millions of telephone conversations
take place every day, some including highly emotional content, demonstrates
that observing facial expression is not necessary for complete
communication.
 Human beings are highly resilient and adaptable. Deaf people have
developed a thoroughly articulate language that requires no sound
transmission. Blind people are able to understand nuanced emotions using
auditory cues and without visual clues. The fact that most people use one
sense for gathering information does not mean that other sources of that
information are inaccurate or inferior.
 I recommend that your organization work with the Jernigan Institute,
an internationally renowned research organization operated by blind people
for blind people. I also invite you to read The Value of Decision, a speech
delivered by Dr. Marc Maurer at the annual convention of the National
Federation of the Blind in the United States. It can be found at <

 I have shared the news report of your research with a number of blind
friends and colleagues. Their reaction has been universally derisive. They
feel, as I do, that blind people suffer more from negative attitudes
reinforced by the promulgation of such research than we do from being unable

new technology in his doctoral thesis-a Braille code of emotions. "It gives

life. The most obvious limitation is probably the difficulty of navigation,
but small details in everyday life, which seeing people take for granted,
are also missed. One of those things is the ability to see a person during
a conversation. Facial expressions provide emotional information and are
important in communication. A smile shows pleasure, amusement, relief, etc.

[AI] comparison of laptops

[leds]

Dear access indians,

rs

If you want to buy a laptop, consider the following:

Windows vs. Macintosh. Many people choose laptops using the Windows operating 
system because it's what they've always used, but Apple's Mac OS is a fine 
alternative. In recent subscriber surveys, CONSUMER REPORTS found Apple's 
technical support to be top-notch. According to another survey, we also found 
that Apple computers were less susceptible to most viruses and spyware than 
Windows-based computers. Among Windows laptops, Lenovo's tech support is above 
average. Dell's support is improving.

Buy à la carte. Dell and Gateway pioneered the notion that every computer can 
be tailored to an individual's needs. Configure-to-order is now common practice 
for laptops as well as desktops.

Menus show you all the options and let you see how a change affects the overall 
price. You might decide on a less-expensive processor, for example, but spend 
more for wireless capability or better graphics. Configure-to-order will often 
give you choices you won't get if you buy an off-the-shelf model. And it means 
less chance of overlooking important details. But be sure to double-check your 
choices before ordering, and look for unwanted items that some manufacturers 
include by default.

You can also purchase a computer off the shelf. (You can do the same online if 
you opt for the default choices of equipment the manufacturer offers.) Most 
retail configurations are quite robust, except for graphics.

Downplay the processor speed. Current processors deliver all the speed most 
people need. Spend your money on more memory.

Ergonomics can make or break a laptop. Look for a slightly tilted keyboard with 
keys that don't feel mushy. Touchpads should be large enough so your finger can 
cover the span of the screen without repeatedly lifting it, and touchpad 
buttons should be easy to find and press. The touchpad should also have a 
dedicated scroll area.

The laptop shouldn't get hot during use (89 to 100 degrees is a good range), 
and it should run quietly. Ideally, devices such as optical drives should be in 
front for easy access. Glossy screens are now standard on most laptops. Several 
have added antireflective coatings, with mixed results.

 

 

 

mportant features Laptop & notebook computers

Laptops generally come with a single- or dual-core processor. Cheaper laptops 
come with a single-core processor such as the Intel Celeron or AMD Sempron, 
which are fine for basic Web browsing and e-mail. For those with greater needs, 
dual-core processors such as the Intel Core 2 Duo and AMD Turion 64 X2 are 
recommended.

Laptops come with a 60- to 250-gigabyte hard drive and 512 megabytes or more of 
random-access memory (RAM). We recommend at least 1GB.

Laptops use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. In Consumer Reports tests, a 
normal battery provided two to nearly five hours of continuous use when running 
office applications. (Laptops go into sleep mode when used intermittently, 
extending the time between charges.) You can lengthen battery life if you dim 
the display, turn off wireless devices when not needed, and use only basic 
applications. Playing a DVD movie uses more battery power than other functions, 
but most laptops should be able to play one through to the end. Many laptops 
can accept an "extended" battery, adding size and weight but giving as much as 
twice the battery life.

A laptop's keyboard can be quite different from that of a desktop computer. The 
keys themselves might be full-sized (generally only lightweight models pare 
them down), but they might not feel as solid. Some laptops have extra buttons 
to expedite your access to e-mail or a Web browser, or to control DVD playback. 
You can attach a USB keyboard, which you might find easier to use.

A 14- to 15-inch display, measured diagonally, should suit most people. 
Displays that are 17 inches are becoming more common. A resolution of 1,280x800 
(WXGA) pixels (picture elements) or more is better than 1,024x768 (XGA) for 
viewing the fine detail in photographs or video, but it might shrink objects on 
the screen. You can use settings in Windows to make them larger. Most models 
are offered with a display that has a glossy surface instead of a matte one. 
Those look better in bright ambient light as long as you avoid direct 
reflections. Try to view the screen in bright light before buying. A "wide 
aspect" display (WXGA or WSXGA) fits wide-screen DVD movies better.

A new display technology called LED-backlit LCD is making its way into laptops. 
It's supposed to be more power-efficient and provide a brighter picture.

Most laptops use a small touchpad in place of a mouse-you slide your finger 
across it to move the cursor. You can also program the pad to respond to a 
"tap" as a "click," or to scroll as you sweep your index finger along the pad's 
right edge. An alternative system uses a pointing stick the size of a pencil 
eraser in the middle of the keyboar
