Who breaks the law, and what law; does effect guilt. You are always breaking laws. It is the base for getting you convicted that marks you.
Ex. Man and woman go to bar get drunk. While drunk they have sex. Later the woman can press charges on the man for 'rape' and win. The way the laws are USED says that a man should know better then to have sex with a woman who does not have full control of her self (Drunk, drugged, insane,...). The man would be hard pressed to get rape charges on the woman even if under the law it was still rape. The woman, who was also drunk, took avenge of a man who was not in full control of him self..

Two words: section 508.
A lot of blind people are using iphones and ipads because apple has been pushing better support for people with diffrent needs.
If you run a flash website, you lose out on a large population of blind users. Facebook wants as many people as they can to use the site.
HTML5 as part of a good MVC setup lets access to more people with less wasted money on apps for every platform.

Submission + - Apache Patch to Override IE 10's Do Not Track Setting (paritynews.com) 1

hypnosec writes: A new patch for Apache by Roy Fielding, one of the authors of the Do Not Track (DNT) standard, is set to override the DNT option if the browser reaching the server is Internet Explorer 10. Microsoft has by default enabled DNT in Internet Explorer 10 stating that it is to "better protect user privacy." This hasn’t gone down well with Ad networks, users and other browser makers. According to Mozilla, the DNT feature shouldn’t be either in an active state or an inactive state until and unless a user specifically sets it. Along the same lines is the stance adopted by Digital Advertising Alliance. The alliance has revealed that it will only honor DNT if and only if it is not switched on by default. This means advertisers will be ignoring the DNT altogether no matter how a particular browser is set up. DNT project has another member – Apache. It turns out that Microsoft’s stance is like a thorn to Apache as well. Fielding has written a patch for the web server titled "Apache does not tolerate deliberate abuse of open standards." The patch immediately sparked a debate which instigated Fielding to elaborate on his work: “The only reason DNT exists is to express a non-default option. That's all it does. [...] It does not protect anyone's privacy unless the recipients believe it was set by a real human being, with a real preference for privacy over personalization.”
