W3C’s Shawn Henry on Website Accessibility

Since being initially introduced to the concept of Web accessibility about a year ago, I have really taken an interest in it and tried to make my websites as accessible as possible. For you designers and developers out there who do not make a conscious effort to create websites with accessibility in mind, I strongly encourage it. Not only is it something you should do, companies like Target have been sued for not doing it.

Here is an interesting article I found via FreelancerReview.net on the topic from an expert at W3C.

Way to Go Warner Bros. for Totally Screwing Up a Great Thing! Netflix Will Never Be the Same.

According to the Business Insider, Netflix has agreed to a 28-day window after WB movies go on saleĀ  that a Netflix subscriber can’t rent them. Warren Bros. apparently thinks they may sell more movies this way. Who knows? Personally, I don’t think it’ll affect me at all. I’ve already waited 6 months after its theatrical release for it to come onto DVD, what’s another 28 days?

Apparently Netflix doesn’t seem too worried about the deal because they do not rely on new releases as a huge way of money-making the way major video rental chains do. I usually get my new releases from redbox anyway.

One plus side of this is that Netflix will get more streaming WB movies out of the deal which I personally think is fantastic.

Read a little bit more at the Business Insider.

Here’s even more info from cnet.
