[blindlaw] Google home page is wrecking IE 7

[Dennis Clark]

Hi John,
Gail posted a modified google option yesterday and it looks pretty good.  It 
is similar to the old one which ended with /IE.  The new address is:

http://labs.google.com/accessible/

Actually it looks a little better then our old one because this gives a line 
or so of text from the site.  Let me know what you think.
Best,
Dennis

>> Hello, I used Internet Explorer 7 because I have JAWS 8 and yesterday
>> Google
>> put a game on its main page which was pacman.  This froze Internet
>> Explorer
>> 7, I had to upgrade  to IE 8 to get work done.  Not only that but I use
>> Adobe InDesign and it placed an image of the game into my InDesign
>> document,
>> and that image was not on th epage I was working on, it just loaded it
>> into
>> the document.  It was lucky I found it.  So this thing is invasive and it
>> slows down the Internet.  So everyone seemed to like the game but it just
>> annihilated productivity and it disabled the computer, everything got
>> slow. I kno wit was Google who did this, but to me the effect was exactly

>> in
>> the press as an internet threat.
>>
>> The game is still up.

>> Also I was in a restaurant the other day and had a screen reader going
>> to demonstrate a process and it was a bit noisy in the restaurant but
>> I did not have the volume up that much but people were infuriated that
>> I had this thing going. It was not that loud, people were definitely
>> drowning out the noise but it as continuously speaking and I can see
>> how it would annoy people.  I turned it off but it was a matter of
>> one guy who was making off
>> hand remarks about beating me up that I thought was a bit extreme. Never
>> had
>> that happen before.
>>
>> The screen reader was going along speaking continuously and yes it
>> kept droning on about the page contents, well you know what they do.
>> Anyway have you all encountered anything like this, or was this ust an
