after this farce can wait too. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

<sarcasm> or maybe not, depends if I can patent the 3, 4 and 5 finger
combinations to cover all the possibilities.
If the patent explicitly says "2 fingers" then it doesn't cover more
than that.
And, is a thumb a finger? Maybe a specialized, opposing finger, but could the
patent be considered as meaning two of the four fingers and not the thumb?
Time to patent the use of 1 thumb and 1 finger <grin>.
</sarcasm> off now (or maybe not...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Noise:Signal ratio has been so high lately a lot of nonsense is slipping
thru the filters. e.g. embedding an html link in a TXT message belongs to a
troll. Or so he thinks.
The New York Times is leading
the fight to prove him wrong.

Apple products have become status symbols especially in emerging
markets such as India and China.
A lot of money has been made in China and
India very quickly. These newly rich Chinese and Indians are no different than
the newly rich in the western
world.
The newly rich feel insecure or feel
the need to display the fact that they have arrived. One of the means in China
to fulfill this need is buying Apple
products.
The difference from the
western world is that in China and India there are a lot more newly rich than in
the western world.
This verdict strengthens Appleās brand
image.

When is the last time you even remember using a floppy
disk? Technology
moves so fast, we have already forgotten
about them. Let us take a moment to
remember...
It was
the floppy disk that turned
microcomputers into personal computers. The floppy
disk
seems so simple now, but it changed everything.
Perhaps the
greatest impact of the floppy wasn't on
individuals, but on the nature and
structure of the IT
industry. Up until the late 1970s, most software
applications for tasks such as word processing and
accounting were written by
the personal computer owners
themselves. But thanks to the floppy, companies
could write
programs, put them on the disks, and sell them through the
mail or
in stores. 'It made it possible to have a software
industry'
Today,
you can still buy new 1.44MB floppy drives and
floppy disks but, as they
disappear even from memory, we
should strive to remember just how vitally
important floppy
disks were in their day. Without them, our current computer
world simply could not exist. Before the Internet was open
to the public, it
was floppy disks that let us create and
trade programs and files. They really
were what put the
personal in "personal computing."
My
first computer technology class had a CP/M server with
an old Winchester drive
that sat in the corner. It connected
to individual Z80 powered terminals. We
used 8" floppies to
back up our work. I still have one today, and on it sits my
first program, written in Z80 assembler. However, of course
I have no way to
read that disk, even if the data is still
viable after all these years. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not really off topic. Wouldn't what the jury foreman did be like bringing a
dictionary to the jury room? It's a big NO NO. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
