-- a deaf tennis player at Australian Open right now
Australian Open is one of the world's most important tennis
tournaments. And there is a deaf player that is entering the
third round of that tournament. It is Duck-Hee Lee from
South Korea. He survived two rounds in the Open Boys
singles division and is going to face his third round opponent.
Open Boys is a tournament for world's best tennis players,
age 18 and under.
-- a hacked video relay account?
Is it possible for a deaf hacker to get into someone's video
relay account? Yes, according to an angry deaf relay user.
His account has been hacked; the hacker has been hiding himself
through different locations. The angry deaf relay user
had two choices - to change his password or to stop using
that relay service. He decided to stop using that relay
service and switch to another relay service.
-- interpreter at a popular restaurant in Texas
A popular Texas restaurant is using an interpreter to help
communications between the waiter and the deaf patron.
A real-live interpreter? No. The restaurant uses iPad which
reaches the interpreting service. Deaf person really needing
an interpreter if he could just point to the menu? Well, the
waiter may want to explain the specials, not on the menu. Or
the waiter would want to know if the patron wants his steak
rare, or medium or well done? Or if the patron wants to order
a very special drink that the bartender may have never heard of!
