In show #106 I asked if you’d consider requesting audio CAPTCHAs whenever you run across visual only CAPTCHAs, even it if doesn’t affect you personally. Let’s help our visually impaired friends out here! Below is a movie pointed out to me by Leo that vividly explains what a visually impaired person encounters with a visual only CAPTCHA, and how there are good solutions now.

iPhone whining about batteries and not being able to send .mac mail over EDGE, Sam Caldwell on Microsoft vs. Apple service (hint, Microsoft wins), Sam’s podcast is at http://web.mac.com/inetsynch/iWeb/Site/Welcome.html. Idea for encouraging audio CAPTCHAs on websites for accessibility, box.net for storing and sharing files, Disk Inventory X from derlien.com for recovering wasted disk space, Zoho from zoho.com for online software applications, and Inquisitor 3 from inquisitorx.com/safari for Spotlight-like web searching in Safari. Skitch is the coolest application I’ve played with in a long time, from plasq.com.
