<p>It's hard to write this, but before my grandmother died about 45 years ago, it felt like she'd lost almost all her memories, but was easy to take care of. She was in her late 80's.<p>My mom & aunt took yearly turns keeping her in their homes. If you kept her away from the stove, she still seemed quite happy helping fix her own breakfast, taking her meds, etc. Give her a warm washrag after, and she'd wipe down the table and then proceed to putter all around the kitchen, wiping and straightening. She preferred cartoons on TV (easier to see, I guess), and was always glad to fold clean towels or clothes, if she had the chance.<p>Once, she actually recognized me, and remembered my name. It was a very precious 5 minute chat, but then the memories were gone. Still, I'll always remember her that way, because it was just like how I remembered her, when I was a child.</p>

<p>My dream:
"Good evening, sir. May I take your coat?"
"Dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes. Your guests said they will be arriving very shortly"
"May I serve you a drink while you relax in the sitting room?"<p>The reality:
"Good morning sir. Would you care for some assistance getting out of bed?"
"Please let me know if I can give you any help with your morning routine."
"Your low salt, heart healthy high fiber breakfast is ready now, and I have all your pill bottles lined up on the table for your approval."</p>

<p>I get people want to protect their kids. But I don't agree with age verification.<p>If people can't figure out parental controls, maybe they can buy a phone plan that has it already set up in advance. We don't need laws for this.</p>

<p>(Speaking of menu/drop-downs with underlined characters for alt commands.)<p>> This works poorly if you intend to localise your application. Great if you don't though.<p>Sure that's true. But remember M$ allowed you to fairly easily edit those underlined-characters in, oh, for example Office 2002 and 2003. Even if you didn't have a lot of default underlines in your current language settings, it is still possible for someone to add their own underline-shortcuts.<p>Back in those days, the first thing I did on any personal new install of Outlook, was to disable the shortcut that marked all email as being read. (That's cause I hit that button by accident too many times.)</p>

<p>"Just as it should be possible to perform every action with a pointing device, every action should also be possible with the keyboard."<p>"It should be possible to move around and interact with every part of your user interface using the keyboard."<p>Yes, finally. It works both ways; when I have hold of the mouse, I don't want to reach for the keyboard, and vice versa. Windows has had this problem for ages, and probably always will. There are some workarounds, "ctrl-esc" (I do this all the time) and "windows-button", but some of them require really jumping through hoops.</p>
