I didn't think there was any bad energy, pessimism or worry in Shane's
message or email either. I think people watching their first WWDC
keynote should be able to ask innocent and sincere questions on this
list. My only frustration with Shane's message, which I solved with the
delete key, is that this has already been discussed on this list.
There's going to be a lot of discussion on this list about IOS 7 and the
WWDC, so if people are interested, I'd suggest they pay attention to
these discussions on this list and maybe even look through the archives
before asking a question that they think might have already come up.
Note I wouldn't have said anything about this at all, if I wasn't
already responding to Fred's message.
Also, in my opinion, Apple wasn't the first computer company to care
about accessibility. Microsoft and IBM were investing resources on
accessibility back when Outspoken was the only screen access option for
Apple products and in those intervening years between Outspoken and
VoiceOver where Apple had no accessibility for their products. I agree
Apple has a better accessibility story right now than any other computer
company, but this hasn't always been the case.

Wow!
a bit sensitive no? I didn't get a ounce of negativity from his post. Note: he
said its his first time watching WWDC so, he's probably not aware that Apple
seldom speaks about accessibility during their keynotes. And he asked for
others thoughts. He offered no opinion of his own except, he thought IOS 7
sounded interesting. I wouldn't really put that down in the negative category.
lol. I don't see how having no opinion, and asking for that of others is
negative? Or, did I miss something in his post?
Just saying.

Shane, why concentrate bad energy on something which 1 we do not have any
control over and 2 we don't know what the future holds with regard to
accessibility.
Is there some reason we should spend all this time until fall worrying about
this? Have you a crystal ball and have seen in to the future? Apple was the
first, or nearly the first computer-based company to care about those of us
with disabilities, is there some reason you think they might change their mind
about this.
Sounds to me like it would make more sense to look forward optimistically
rather than look forward pessimistically, takes less energy and it is truly
alot more fun.

Hi guys,
Well yall, what'd you think of the presentation? I've Never saw one live, but
I've been watching it on my Apple TV. What I've heard, it sounds like iOS 7
will be pretty interesting, but I didn't hear anything mentioned about
accessibility... Your thoughts?
Shane.
