And I've changed the subject of the message to let the rest of you know of a specific blindness-related problem I have found with Google. Specifically, if you use Google a lot with preset search settings and you erase those settings when cleaning up your browser, Google will not let you recreate those customized search settings without filling out a capcha that has no audio component. This has happened to me (I use Google a lot for searching), and I had to rely on my sighted younger sister to fill out the capcha (a series of street signs she tells me) to recreate my search settings.

Hi all,

This is not the greatest news, but didn't we know this was coming anyway?

I do like the fact that when you type in a question in the google search engine, more and more you don't have to read a bunch of search results to get your question answered, because the answer is right there on the result page to your question.

But there are bad things coming as well.

Here's the link to the article

I'm just the messenger.
