Since the error rate is still about 20%, the radius of the screen being raised could cover that. You're already doing that like Windows magnifier.<br/>But the new feature you can add is that whatever is relevant can be higlighted. e.g. links could glow so if you're radius covers 5 lines of links, only one of them glows so you know which one you actually click.<br/>Same applies for text if you're trying to move to the middle of a word, you highlight the letter the cursor will be in front of.<br/><br/>Also, you should only have two keys just like two buttons on the mouse and all the drag-click should be done the same way. Holding the key should give you drag ability etc.<br/><br/>Just some suggestions.<br/><br/>mikhail.onqa@hotmail.com I have a suggestion after reading the article in Tech Review.

Same applies for text if you’re trying to move to the middle of a word, you highlight the letter the cursor will be in front of.

Also, you should only have two keys just like two buttons on the mouse and all the drag-click should be done the same way. Holding the key should give you drag ability etc.

Just some suggestions.

These days, a "neutral" warning is closer to a "negative". I left two negatives recently when I purchased two camera lenses from the same seller that were in poorer condition then listed. The seller didn't respond to my email and I waited too long to file anything with eBay or PayPal.<br/><br/>So what does the seller do when he gets two neutrals? Gives me a neutral of course. There is a strong incentive to not leave negative feedback if one plans on selling items on eBay (or even bidding on some sellers items) as negative feedback is not examined closely. Not only is it a poor system in that regard but it is also very hard to find the negative feedback in the system by design.<br/><br/>eBay is flawed. They have the market but if they continue in the current direction eventually competition will eclipse them. It will take a long time because there are only players in a few niche markets that eBay refuses to serve (and most of those sites are even worse then eBay).
