I remember a guy at the university who set the font seriously big and had some sort of microscope like device attached to his glasses (on one eye). That way he could read his programming code one character at a time.

This is retarded...it's like a guy with no hands suing a glove manufacture because there aren't any "stump" gloves. If your blind then just do it the old fashion way and go to the store. This comes down to one fact " If you don't accommodate me to perfection I'm going to sue you". I feel for the blind but come on.....they are suing target because they have ---smurfy--- access to they're website....then go shop at walmart. I swear...soon you'll get sued by the alzheimer's people because you didn't have enough signs telling them what store they're in.

 My point is, given enough time,a person is going to want to do things besides sit on a couch.

They can WANT to do whatever they like. The fact is they can't see and therefore they will HAVE to alter their routine to suit it.

Do you really want to do any of these things for the rest of your life with assistance (ie a person)? Even worse, do you want to condemn this person for the rest of your life helping you?

You're going to need someone's help, you can't get passed that fact no matter what.

I have to agree that it might not make much sense for a blind person to use that Target site. I'm not really sure how they would pick out furniture or clothes from a text based description. On the other hand, it could help alleviate a blind persons life not to have to physically travel to a store to purchase items. It would make them a lot more independent.

It is nothing like that and the reasons why are explicitly explained in detail in this thread.

website != product

website = service
