    Well, one could try Standards for Electronic and Information Technology: An Overview or What does Section 508 mean to You? for starters.

    > The web is a visual medium.

    This is an extremely common but ignorant misconception. The web is an information medium. Probably 95% of the accessibility issues and 99% of the functional limitations of the current Internet can be traced back to this deprecated way of thinking. Grok the paradigm shift baby.

    If you don't appreciated the difference between <i> and <em> you are not yet ready.

  3. What are "Spekaers"? on Third Party Selling Upgraded G4 Cubes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously though, the cube (with ADC monitor) has exactly ONE less cable than the new iMac. Claiming that the iMac eliminates cable clutter is a lie. I hope that Apple releases a G5 cube. IMHO the only thing bad about the cube was how the USB speakers slowed the processor. The only thing that prevented it from being a roaring success was the a price point that was a mere $200 too much.
