angry tapir writes "The National Federation of the Blind claims that Google Apps lacks required features for blind people and wants the US government to investigate whether schools that adopt the e-mail and collaboration suite run afoul of civil rights laws. The NFB is asking the US Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division to probe whether New York University and Northwestern University are discriminating against blind employees and students through their use of Google Apps' Education edition."

If you want applications stop fucking doing them in a web browser. Write a real application. Otherwise use HTML to make a web page. If we could outlaw web 2.0 it would be wonderful.
