Way to exclude people with disabilities, Toshiba

> Such a shame. Add this to the list of interesting places on the internet you can’t see on your device. Of course, if you had a Toshiba Tablet, you would enjoy the entire internet. Yep, Flash sites too,” the message reads.

It’s all well and good that Toshiba has decided to poke a little fun at the iPad with this web site. But I have to wonder how the millions of people with disabilities feel about the fact that publishing this site in Flash blocks all of THEIR access to this information as well.

And then there are the people who simply don’t like Flash and would prefer to view information in other forms. Since when did it become cool to dictate to people how they get their information? That sounds like a walled garden approach to me. Doesn’t that usually freak out the “open” people?

So keep on insulting and excluding people while trying to get in a cheap shot, there, Toshiba. That’s a great way to build an audience. See, I thought the web was about making information available to EVERYONE, but maybe you see it differently.
