Beyond Accessibility: Treating Users with Disabilities as People

Hmm.  Jakob Nielsen writes a column with a headline that implies you are being inhumane if you don’t make your web pages accessible to the disabled.  Jakob Nielsen‘s company is selling a 148-page report on making web pages accessible to the disabled.  Coincidence? (Nielsen is smart. He’s doing good deeds. He’s giving away lots of free advice. He’s also making tons of money. More power to him.) —Beyond Accessibility: Treating Users with Disabilities as People (UseIT.com)
