The Coolest Thing I've Seen All Day…

TUAW recently posted an article about Mike Phillips a gamer, writer, photographer and more. Mike was born with spinal muscular atrophy but that doesn’t stop him from playing Unreal Tournament 2004, World of Warcraft and doing other computer-based tasks. With the help of a hardware tool and a piece of software specially developed for OS X he can do this all just by moving his thumb.

I for one am especially proud to be part of the OS X community and an OS X user. OS X features some of the most advanced accessibility software in the world. OS X Leopard will continue to improve upon this awesome technology. I am glad that we have such technologies like this, everyone should be able to use a computer and enjoy it! My jaw drops when I see how amazing and how well these pieces of access software and hardware work.
