[Nfbc-info] After Target - was - Re: What about Apple, iTunes, and the iPhone, etc?

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

we need to be systematically addressing the use of captcha or word 
verification systems appearing on many types of web sites without audio 
alternatives. Web designers convince web site owners that this is a 
deterrent from various types of malicious data being entered on web sites.
The only thing that it does is restrict access is this type of image is not 
compatible with screen reading software as a whole.

Actually,

Apple is making iTunes and iPods accessible under agreements reached after
the Target litigation was settled.

I would like to see us continue after Target and other organizations for
continuing to use touch screen POS machines at checkout counters.

Now that some of us are receiving checks from the NFB V. TARGET
lawsuit, what about all these other inaccessible web sites and products?

What about Apple?  Their iTunes software, iTunes store, iPod, and
iPhone all have access problems.

Who is pushing apple?  Do we have a law suit underway?

Thanks,
