A good point about the easy accessibility development on Apple devices. Also, no doubt some of the accessibility work is still done by iOS, and then transmitted back to Watch OS. I don't know the details.

I was wondering just how accessibility would be carried over into the Watch OS. I am impressed as to how complete the carryover has been from iOS. My congratulations and appreciation to the Apple software engineers involved.

I see on MacRumors that, "In an effort to address the threat, Apple has now updated its "Xprotect" anti-malware system to recognize two different variants of the iWorm malware and prevent them from being installed on users' machines." To me, any r…

Many of posters here on AI misunderstand. Peer review trumps you and me. Best intellectual innovation ever.

I have always enjoyed Anand's Apple product reviews. I well remember his testing of the A7 SoC, and how that review changed the initial scoff reaction to that SoC.

I think the new Accessibility API, announced in WWDC 2014, will be of help to OS X developers, and encourage better accessibility support and features in OS X applications. As for the AFB, I can't speak to their positions, since I am a low-vision …

My eyes are very sensitive to bright lights, and normally I view the display in Inverse Colors. Then, if I need to see images correctly, I use a short-cut key to quickly switch back to normal display mode. So, I am interested in 'dark mode', but the…

I have to agree, that the NYT article on Tim Cook's stewardship of Apple, was terrible. Basically, the authors did not appreciate how significant WWDC 2014 really was, in terms of software development: especially the iOS and OS X extensions newly av…

I have had a Doxie Go for a number of years, and highly recommend it for people with poor vision. I use it primarily to read the important documents that come in my physical mailbox, and not by email. The OCR accuracy is very good, and I end up read…

I picked up on Tim Cook's reference to the blind in his response during that Apple shareholder meeting. As a person who is both visually and aurally impaired, Apple has my confidence, based on their track record, that they will provide a reasonable …

I have one of those 'streamers' that connects my hearing aids to my 3rd generation iPad via Bluetooth. Works great with the Music and Podcast apps, and also with the VoiceOver screenreader. Yes, it is expensive, but if you need it, you are glad to h…

Lucky me…IMovie 10.0.1 works on my 2007 iMac with an ATI HD2600 Pro video card of 256KB VRAM. OS X is at 10.9 Mavericks. I probably will get another iMac next year, just because this set of components is getting more outdated than I like. This iMac …

I am in a similar situation, with a mid-2007 iMac, 4GB of RAM, and ML installed. The machine is still going strong. The original internal HDD is backed up via TM, with a newer external HDD connected to a Firewire 800 port. With Mavericks ins…

"…to read aloud more than 1.8 million titles from the Kindle Store." Always glad to hear of new iOS apps supporting VoiceOver. Cocoa does most of the enabling automatically. As I understand it, developers generally need to add some addition…

"Labor advocate challenges accuracy of NYT report on Apple, Foxconn" Above is the AI headline. I looked up the membership list of this non-profit organization. It is all corporate with some educational institutions having associative membership. …
