Mario,
Since you don't know me or anything about my history, you are way out of bounds
with your criticism. Just because I don't fall into lockstep, and I'm not
willing to ignore the fact that the Federation gets money from other vendors,
whom they didn't do not criticize and resolutions, does not make me ungrateful
for progress. I am not going to walk in lockstep behind anyone. I have sat in
too many meetings with Federation us who simply would not change their opinion
on anything despite data. And I have also sat in other meetings with
Federationists who were quite the opposite. No one and no organization is
perfect and beyond criticism. I certainly agree that the quality assurance
problems with Apple products as well as many others in the software field are
serious. But the fact that the Federation takes money from other equally
guilty, if not more guilty vendors, and then does not produce resolutions
calling on them to up their quality game, well, it's rather suspicious don't
you think? Never mind answering that, it was a rhetorical question.

You should criticize less and work more for the cause of the blind and
accessibility.
instead, you are those who are always waiting for others to do for you.
NFB never done anything for you?
read this and learn.

Two years in a row, and if he has had resolutions which specifically called out
Apple. At the first of those conventions, they were calling Google and
accessibility champion. Why doesn't NFB spend equal time on other companies,
especially google, which is still behind Apple and someways, but they call them
a champion? I say as I have said before and should probably stop saying, follow
the money. Google sponsor their convention as a champion.

Here is a link to all the resolutions that we voted on for the 2016
convention. As someone who was there, there was lots of discussion
about the apple resolution and the general consensus was that we love
what apple is doing, but that there is always room for improvement.

More criticism of the NFB that they're enfatuated with Apple than I have
that they're Apple bashers. I tend to think neither is true and this is
more the view of the individual making this claim than it is of the
entire NFB organization. I'd suggest looking at the whole issue, all of
the statements and resolutions passed by the NFB and not basing and
publiching an opinion like this just based on something someone heard.
For example, I'd rather see a link to this resolution that was passed so
I can make up my own mind.

I recently learned of a questionable “resolution” passed at the NFB
convention singling out Apple for a lack of appropriate prioritization to
accessibility while giving other tech companies a complete pass despite
far more egregious non-concert on the part of those other companies.
Now, there’s this alarmist tidbits surfacing about an unpleasant surprise
in iOS 9.3.4.
I personally know of a “tech Instructor” at the local Lighthouse who is an
avowed Apple basher.
I find this obvious irrational animosity for Apple to be without any merit
whatsoever. It certainly causes me to have very little regard for NFB and
that organization’s leadership.
This reminds me of the childhood game “King of the Mountain” where the
object of the game is to occupy the highest point on the gaming grounds
(usually a snow bank here in the upper Midwest). That being the object
meant that once you achieved the highest point all other gamers were
determined to knock you down in the belief that they would then occupy
that high point. Since it’s obvious to me that neither NFB nor the author
of that article would ever possibly occupy the “high ground” on this
particular snow bank, I have to wonder just who is fostering all this
“Apple bashing?” Makes me wonder!
