This Saturday, 24/May/2008 at 10:00 AM, a new Apple Store is opening at the Pacific Centre mall in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The new store is located on the upper level. As usual, the first one-thousand guests to attend the grand opening will get a free T-shirt.

Apple Stores are a great way to try out Macintosh computers, as well as VoiceOver. Press Command-F5, and check out how it works.

We’d like to welcome our newest editor to Lioncourt.com, Cara Quinn. Cara has written our latest editorial piece, "A Key to Leopard". In this article, Cara explores a myriad of ways to navigate Mac OS X using the keyboard. Newcomers to the Mac as well as seasoned veterans are likely to learn something from this entertaining and informative look at mouseless navigation. Thanks to Cara, and welcome to our staff.

The most recent nightly builds of WebKit have repaired many longstanding access issues. The most notable of the current fixes is the exposure of some web form controls to access solutions, including VoiceOver.

When these changes make their way into the official WebKit release, and then into Safari and Mac OS X, we will be able to enjoy these fixes with VoiceOver. In the mean time, you can download the nightly builds of WebKit and use them without risk to the OS’s core installation of the HTML engine from WebKit.org. The nightly build will install an application in your "Applications" folder to allow you to run a dedicated test browser with the latest fixes to WebKit. Of course, as this is a nightly build, there will be bugs, stability, and other issues, so you will likely want to continue using Safari or whatever your browser of choice is, as your default.

The most recent issue, (#4), of the Assistiveware Newsletter focuses on persons with visual impairments and their solutions to access issues on the Macintosh platform.

The newsletter is comprised of contributions by users of Assistiveware products, and includes no advertising.
