Apple lost a big one today though... trying to block Amazon from using "App Store".
Judge rejects Apple bid for injunction against Amazon
Of course there's a further trial to be held later on that.

Good, every time Apple get's one over their nose is a step in the right direction.
It's called APPlication not APPleecation, isn't it?! ;)
Jobs really thinks that everyone is stupid out there, let's hope the judge is an open minded person and throws them out of court.Quote:

Interesting. I wonder where desktop PCs will find themselves in a few years' time if their interface is primarily touch based? The upcoming OS X Lion borrows fairly heavily from iOS so it does seem like OS vendors are migrating towards a unified interface for both 'traditional' and portable devices.
Don't see the point of a touch interface for a desktop. But no doubt things will go that way
Me neither. The only advantage of touch screens is portability. A mouse and keyboard is a far superior interface.
Do any of you use a Pen?Quote:

it's interesting how others will see me use it, give it a try and then throw the pen in the floor disgusted by how hard it seems. It really isn't and of course it takes some getting used to it.
And of course to each his own - I find the actions on a portable computer by dragging your finger on that small space to be tedious but that's because I have never owned a portable computer.
But back to the question, any pen users out there?
:s mokin:
not used a pen before but I can imagine their use. I imagine it just requires patience as people are so used to using a mouse for mouse functions.Quote:

My god some of the comments on that story!!!!! These are either people who haven't used a PC for 5 years or the sorts of people who buy purely on price and therefore have a really crappy underspecced.Quote:

I'm currently thinking about getting a pen/tablet thingy for a mouse when using tv as monitor, a normal mouse wouldn't work well in that place. That or a wirelss keyboard with a touchpad. :)Quote:
