Some people see the legal obligation to follow Web content accessibility guidelines - whether of the W3C or, in the US, of section 508 - as leading to boring text-only pages. Actually, these guidelines do not exclude the use of multimedia on the web. They say that multimedia should be made accessible by "Providing equivalent alternatives to auditory and visual content" and in particular: "For any time-based multimedia presentation (e.g., a movie or animation), synchronize equivalent alternatives (e.g., captions or auditory descriptions of the visual track) with the presentation."[1]
Web Design Quote for 7/1/2007 ... This means that the interface design must not only organize the content for easy access, but must incorporate the right combination of technologies and interaction techniques to allow the user to work in their own style.
This article addresses both the technical limitations and usability considerations of color on the web. It is by no means exhaustive, but it should get you thinking about appropriate color use when bringing your brand to the web.
A common method of limiting access to services made available over the Web is visual verification of a bitmapped image. This presents a major problem to users who are blind, have low vision, or have a learning disability such as dyslexia.

Hi there!
It would be great to have the subtitles also in full screen mode (e.g. over youtube videos). Maybe there could be a toggle button for this?

The author of the software in question, titled Kindlepid.py, is listed as Igor Skochinsky, a hardware hacker who performed a remarkable analysis of the Kindle and described in December 2007 how he was able to gain access to the device.
It's unclear why Amazon waited so long to respond with a legal threat, and why the company targeted MobileRead.com: Skochinsky's original blog post about Kindlepid.py is dated December 2007, and the copy of the Kindlepid.py software hosted at the Googlepages.com Web-page posting site is still available for download at http://skochinsky.googlepages.com/azw-0.2.zip
