Kris' Accessible Space: Virtual MacOS X on KVM
http://parallel-ui.blogspot.com/2008/10/virtual-macos-x-on-kvm.html
The authorative blog for the PUIR project. Sunday, 26 October 2008. Virtual MacOS X on KVM. I came across this rather interesting webpage:. Http:/ alex.csgraf.de/self/? It is mostly interesting because it results in a pretty speedy MacOS X install (albeit virtual) on pretty much any PC hardware, although it is of course against the EULA to run it on non-Apple hardware.

http://parallel-ui.blogspot.com/2008/11/still-long-way-to-go.html
The authorative blog for the PUIR project. Monday, 24 November 2008. Still a long way to go. Today the TV shopping channel QVC is holding a sweepstakes in honour of their 22nd birthday. Throughout the day, they show a "lucky number" on the screen and you can go to a specific website to enter the lucky number along with your telephone number. Sadly, an opportunity lost shows just how far we are from being able to see universal access in a more mainstream manner. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
