Switch Control allows switch users to interact and control their Macs. Switch users are users who are only able to activate a few large buttons and who don’t have the ability to interact with the complexities of a keyboard or mouse. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For example, a quadriplegic may be able to activate switches mounted on their wheelchair with their head. Switches come in all different sizes and configurations but they give users who are unable to interact with the keyboard or mouse the ability to control their computers.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/apple_oct_invite.jpg?w=704" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="315" src="http://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/apple_oct_invite.jpg?w=704" title="Apple invitation reads "We still have a lot to cover."" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Today <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/09/apple-confirms-september-10th-iphone.html">Apple</a> sent invitations to members of the media for an October 22th event. The event comes just weeks after the release of the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-touch-id-fingerprint-sensor-on-new.html">iPhone 5s</a> and iPhone 5c. Rumors have suggested that the event will focus on an updated full sized <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/08/inspiration-maps-for-ipad-mind-mapping.html">iPad</a> and an updated <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2012/10/apple-announces-ipad-mini.html">iPad mini</a>. The full size iPad will likely feature a new design with smaller side bezels similar to the iPad mini's design. It is also possible that the new iPad models will include some of the new features found on Apple's latest iPhone possibly even the <a href="http://bdmtech.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-touch-id-fingerprint-sensor-on-new.html">Touch ID finger print sensor</a>. Of course all of this remains speculative until Apple officially confirms the details. If you are in the market for a new iPad it is difinitely recommended to wait and see what Apple will announce next Tuesday.
