This is typical NFB. Prey on an already oppressed popularion with scare tactics about what *COULD* go wrong and how helpless they'd be unless trhey do things the NFB way. It's why I have very little to do with organized groups of blind people. Don't feel bad; I also scoff at organized r

Why not do the work ourselves? Instead of seeing it as "shrugging off," why don't we see it as giving us the power, in addition to Apple and other developers? If scripting is coming to VO, it gives *EVERYONE* the power, and doesn't take away anything from anyone. Mark BurningHawk Skype

People! What part of Piracy don't you understand? Apple's doing an honorable thing by including VO and putting so much into it. While I'm the first one to advocate the law be broken when it serves no purpose and promotes dishonorable price gouging and unfair advantage, in this case, this

I'd wait until someone who has had time to actually use a legal copy for a while makes a podcast that's worth something and imparts some information in a considered and non-hurried way, rather than relying on someone's pirated copy who doesn't know what he's doing with it. If I want to wa
