Insurance Company Offering eBay
Insurance 11/17/2003 04:17 AM
Everyone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the problems. They're offering a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a "BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company (Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good - or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course, they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this, but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund up to $1,000, it isn't $1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not particularly comforting.

aDesigner disability simulator

aDesigner disability simulator 07/19/2004 11:26 PM

IBM recently announced aDesigner, touted as "a disability simulator that helps Web designers ensure that their pages are accessible and usable by the visually impaired."

I haven't had time to really test it yet, but my first impression is that it's very nicely done, and it was immediately helpful in finding a few minor problems on my site. (Hat tip to Jack Brewster for the link.)

Buying the Disability Lobby, and More

Buying the Disability Lobby, and More 06/11/2004 07:05 PM

NY Times: The Disability Lobby and Voting. ome supporters of voter-verifiable paper trails question whether disability-rights groups have gotten too close to voting machine manufacturers. Besides the donation by Diebold to the National Federation of the Blind, there have been other gifts. According to Mr. Dickson, the American Association of People with Disabilities has received $26,000 from voting machine companies this year. The real issue, though, is that disability-rights groups have been clouding the voting machine debate by suggesting that the nation must choose between accessible voting and verifiable voting.

The voting-machine scandal just grows and grows. When the National Federation of the Blind accepts $1 million from Diebold, maker of the scandalously lousy machines that California recently banned, you have to shake your head in amazement at how putrid this entire situation is getting. The League of Women Voters' support of unverifiable voting machines is another astounding situation. Barbara Simons, a California woman who's an expert in computer technology, is running for president (AP) of the organization in a protest vote. I hope she wins and, with others who can't fathom the league's refusal to recognize reality, gets the organization to change its odd stance. The fact remains simple. There is no way anyone should trust to verify the validity of votes cast with some of these electronic voting machines unless we create a voter-verifiable paper trail and have frequent, random audits of precincts. Disabled people deserve a way to cast a fair vote, honestly counted. Some of the groups representing them -- taking money from the voting machine lobby -- would rather risk entire elections than make sure we do this right. It's a shame.

In a United Kingdom plan to reduce access barriers in museums, archives and libraries, an organization called Resource: The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries has created a database of 200 trainers, auditors and consultants specializing in disability issues. The database offers support and advice on all disability issues. Marcus Weisen, Resources Disability Officer, says: "In the past databases of disability trainers, auditors and consultants in the cultural sector were merely address lists and they were not available on the Web. With this new system, we can allow users to browse categorized listings to find the best match for their needs." The disability database is available on the Resource Web site at:

If that's not enough, they'll even serve it up to you in any format or bitrate you require (MP3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMV). Add on to that the fact there's no DRM built into the files downloaded, and the option to pay with Paypal is a nice touch too. So, I ask you, MetaFilter, what is the catch?

Javier Marías describes Spain after the Madrid bombings in New York Times. Here in Spain, we don't feel as if we are at war, because we aren't. And neither are the inhabitants of the United States, however vociferously many Americans may insist that they are. War is something else entirely. No semi-normal life can be led while a war is going on. The Madrilenians who lived through the siege of their city from 1936 to 1939 know that very well....
