Re: amazon's accesability contact.

Hi Mary, I am sorry if you feel I am speaking in any way unfavorably to MR. Korn's dedication. I am not, since how he personally feels about accessibility is less important than his ability to insure fully that Amazon's website complies with standards. As for Kindle progress, I will defer

Hi Mary, Peter Korn's official title is archetype. In a way that at least suggests that he deals directly with the development and implementation of access standards in Amazon products. Far more so than say if he was a VP of management. It is not a question of his focus upon what looks

home kit clarification, was Re: Smart thermostat with Amazon Alexa

So i understand the confusion here. The"home" app that you see on your IOS 10 beta devices is an application that allows you to easily interact with all devices that support home kit. It used to be that you had to access every application for each of your home kit devices. For example, you

Re: I hate mouse keys!!!

Hi Donna, Mouse-keys can be toggled on and off by pressing the Option key five times. If your keyboard is getting tired, sometimes the Option key sort of presses multiple times when you have it down which will thus turn your mouse-keys on. The easiest thing to do to fix this issue is to turn
