This is posted as a bs lie, right?
and yet.... this is 2010 with broadband technology and still no CC? why did it take Obama to sign the legislation to mandate it?
um..... no? If they're able to broadcast video online... they can easily broadcast CC together with the video. It's simple, really.... but they didn't implement the CC feature for Internet broadcast and I will explain why.
A few years ago - I emailed a complaint to CNN to make their videos deaf-accessible. A man replied back. He apologized profusely and understood my frustration. He explained that it was a matter of bureaucratic legal issue regarding copyrights and the ownership of text.
It took Google and a deaf man to break the barrier. And then Obama to mandate it.

A hearing person telling us our reality simply rubs us the wrong way.
I'm not sure what's up with the labeling. why such hostile attitude toward "Deaf people"?
they're all same to me - deaf
I see the hostility too. Maybe Deaf people oppressed him?
Of course, it's a lie... people use it to make a point. They don't want to make their child deaf. Some people take it too literally and think they mean it!
Reminds me of the time when I asked my aunt why my cousin doesn't post lyrics to his songs. She told me because of copyright issues, and how someone stole his song. sigh. and yet he have youtube videos playing his songs.
All of my life I had that issue with hearing people telling me that I was wrong, wrong, wrong in everything I expressed about my deafness.
Yeah. I've been there too. :roll:
CI's cure EVERYTHING!! (except impotence which they do cause. See above post)Do CI cures female hysteria?
A guy with a deaf girlfriend asked me that. He was rather serious about it.
Ci's cause impotence!
Yes, and a quick trip to a prison.
I dont have a CI and I suffer from brain freeze constantly! There must be a hidden CI in me that I was never aware of!
Ci's cause impotence!
What is this "our phones" you're speaking of?
Only if your surgeon was blind and missed the mark.
