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?"

I've never seen an Apple store that has anything but high counters and tight aisles. And that's not even counting how they're usually so packed with people that it's hard even for the non-disabled to get to stuff.

On the positive side - the last time we bought something there (two iPod Nanos for Christmas gifts), we walked in the front and an employee standing right there asked if he could help us. We told him what we wanted, he went into the back and grabbed them for us, then checked us out and printed out a receipt using a handheld device. Took us less than five minutes and no standing in lines. I'm a big fan of that device.
