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?"

Honey, do you need a hug? A cup of tea? A cluebat to the butt to get your brain where it belongs?

Try navigating a crowded store and getting busy AND idle people to pay attention to you and help you when you're at least two feet below eye level. Management often doesn't see such letters from the public in a large company like Apple, due to the sheer volume of communication coming across the desk. If nothing else, though admittedly it seems a bit extreme at first blush, it got someone's attention I'm sure and changes may be made.

I'm sorry if I come across as snarky, but I've been there and I can't help but see it from their angle.
