Trust me, whether we like it or not, FS is still making money. There are still
lots of Windows users out there, some of whom are using Windows in a work
environment, it is not like they can suddenly decide to use a Mac, it's not up
to them. Just a little reality check.

Huh, good luck cause FS hasn't a leg to stand on in the GW Micro case and
they couldn't say a word about Apple's implementation. FS must be pretty
desperate.

I wonder if Apple's "Auto Web Spots" is different enough from the FS
Placemarkers feature as FS is currently suing GW Micro over a patent
infringement on this concept. There are a lot of problems with the FS patent
but judges aren't always of the nuances that make one idea different from
another.

The following is copied directly from the Apple site.Find information
fast with auto web spots.Many web pages are filled with complex design elements
or lack useful HTML tags, making them difficult to convey through a screen
reader. So Apple invented new technologies to comprehend and interpret the
visual design of web pages, then use the information to assign virtual tags
called “auto web spots” to mark important locations on the page. If you’re on a
newspaper website, for example, there might be an auto web spot for each lead
story, another for a box containing weather or sports scores, and so on. You
can jump from web spot to web spot with a keystroke or the flick of a finger.
And if there’s a particular feature on a site you visit often, you can assign a
“sweet spot” on that page so that VoiceOver will go there first when the page
opens.

one feature I just read they have in snow leopard is voice over will
now read the whole website to you. I cannot say I'm happy about this,
the one thing about VO I love is it does what I want it too not what
it thinks I want it too. ugh. apple why listen to them?
sorry, but what do others think?
