If you read David Pogue's "The perfect thing" about the history of the iPod, he discusses this "ipod bubble" phonomenon happening to ordinary people -- able-bodied people. Why should someone with cerebral palsy who moves differently not be allowed to keep up on current events/watch videos like any other person? I don't even care if they listen to MP3s.
I just want to thank US Cellular. They sell one phone with naked android, and one phone with HTC Sense. Both are running the Android 2.1, which is almost up to date. (Only the Nexus one and some tablets have 2.2).
This is the key, I think: ship the Google code and only the google code, and ship an up to date OS.
Many devices are still running 1.6 and some 1.5. This is unacceptable. Blackberry is no better. They sell their OS upgrades as a feature with their phones. Not OK.
You can also right click on any application/executable icon and select "Run As..." (XP) or Run As Administrator (7/Vista.) You can also although this is a bad idea elevate the entire command prompt.
Get your neighbors together in your building. Propose a plan after checking with ISPs. Tell them you want business class service, and how much it is. Then split that with your neighbors. This might be fiber. It might not.
Actually, Pouge has confirmed that the Nook's in-store reading function only works for an hour. And last I read, the Lendme function only works on certain books, and only one time for the life of the book. What's worth I purchased a book despite this.. and I can't read it on my iPad. It's in a "non-supported format." Excuse me, what? This ebook store has only been open for not very long, and they are already having incompatible formats. I intend to contact customer service about this.

This isn't their first attempt at webmail. Operamail has been maintained and was their first attempt. They have no reason to shutter a webmail service. Their mail client is decent as well, and very similar to Gmail.
I actually thought the palm foleo was a great product. It was essentially a larger screen and keyboard for your smartphone. It was a great idea, and they were dumb to throw it away.
You are at first glance doing the right thing. You are monitoring SMTP traffic and blocking it. (right?) No SMTP traffic to strange servers on strange ports. But, I also ask which antivirus you are running, which antispyware and which firewall. I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials for users that won't pay, but corporations should be using something other than Norton -- a corporate edition with update servers at the antivirus vendor.
I recommend Trend Micro although I've never used its corporate edition, the consumer edition is excellent, although causes some conflicts on one dell laptop I saw, and idisk (webdav drives.) Mcafee seems to have a good "detection rate", and can remove most with a scan.
For antispyware, Mcafee or Trend Micro will try to help, but I recommend Superantispyware. Pay the licensing fees. Also, if you can figure out how to configure strict firewall walls to only allow the web browser, and e-mail client, that will go a long way.
you should be able to do that in get info for others -- ie. no the designer. Making the file share read only ensures that he has to copy it. From doing technical support, he likely is forgetting to make a copy. Moreover, burning over a network drive won't work even if you do allow write access.
Disabled people do not need your pity. They do need your support. I was unaware of these projects. As a disabled technology guy, that's sad. I support these efforts.
for incoming mail to a college campus with 3,000 students, and I presume outgoing. Nobody complains. (I did have one complaint, and it was weird. Not at all related I don't think, but it was "My mail's not getting through.")
bookshare.org legally operates out of an exemption from copyright law that allows the visually impaired to subscribe to a library of ebooks in an accessible format. (DAISY)
I imagine the treaty just extends this internationally.
Google Docs Zoho Write (amazing, with good APIs) Thinkfree (works for some people) Flyword (one of my favorites, has both local and remote storage, offline support, can work offline, has chat etc.) writewith (was pretty primitive when I last looked at it.)
Deepfreeze. http://www.faronics.com/html/product.asp -- Deepfreeze pulls a disk image from another computer every boot. If it gets infected, just reboot. They would have to a) not install any software or software updates until you got there, and b) have a data partition for any locally stored files, although with Flyword -- that isn't necessary. Flyword will even put an icon on their desktop, and store stuff online. It's a Java app.
You may also want to look at Zonelabs' Forcefield. It essentially sandboxes the browser, and wipes off any downloads and returns the browser to a pristine state. http://www.zonelabs.com/
Skype should change their mind. This allowed skype to be the de-facto platform. My friend with a disability needs text to speech and other things, that were available as extras or could potentially be.

They warn only when syncing. Although it was a free app, so maybe they only warn when it's a paid app. --Sam

No. Laws that are unjust should be disobeyed.
