Apple Briefly Mentions Accessibility At Annual Shareholders Meeting
26 February, 2010 @ 11:29 am by LioncourtYesterday, APple held it’s annual shareholders meeting. The meeting included over an hour’s worth of questions answered by CEO Steve Jobs, COO Tim Cook, and CFO Peter Oppenheimer. Most of the discussion revolved around the company’s efforts regarding environmental issues, management, and acquisitions.
One shareholder and former Apple employee, asked why Apple will not be attending this year’s national accessibility conference. Jobs responded to the question himself, noting Apple doesn’t participate in conferences, as it would mean "we wouldn’t be here working." He went on to point out that Apple’s customers have been doing a great job keeping the company informed of outstanding issues and pointing out when it’s falling short.
He concluded his comments with something that anyone who has followed the accessibility of Apple products over the last five years already knows: Apple leads the computing industry in accessibility.
