ADA Wank, with a side of Mac Vs. PC and Liberal Vs. Conservative!
So, two California women are suing Apple for alleged accessibility violations in its SF retail store. The comments on the article are, needless to say, wanky, with some complaining about the liberal activist agenda, allegations that the women are just out to make a quick buck, and the occasional disabled person chiming in on both sides of the issue.

Also, WTF is a "standing wheelchair?"

	...Classes? Theatre? Bar? What? Is this an Apple thing or a California thing? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The theatre might just be a flagship store thing, but every Apple store has a Genius Bar for tech support and offers classes to teach people how to do random stuff on their Macs, if you want to learn how to make webpages or use Garage Band or anything like that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I can assure you that the "Genius" part is hugely exaggerated. I've had to deal with them one too many times due to my laptop crapping out consistantly. Thought the classes thing sounds kind of interesting. I didn't know they had those. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Amen, sister. I went to the store at Short Pump here in Richmond, to try and get answers about buying a brand new laptop from a real-live human. Not only was our "Genius" a dumbass, he was really snotty with my Mother-In-Law, who is smart enough to ask questions that don't involve iPods. As opposed to...y'know...yours truly...who really wants her pretty new toys. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I can assure you that the "Genius" part is hugely exaggerated. And unfortunately, the "bar" seems to refer to the furniture arrangement. I was very disappointed by the lack of alcohol. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm pretty sure the Apple store in my area doesn't have a theatre, but for a small price you can get personal classes from one of the geniuses. It's pretty sweet. (Reply to this)(Parent)
