Re: Douglas Adams : Genius

"On a windows machine, there is CTR/ALT/DEL. Is that not 'multi-touch' ?...Madness. Utter f#*!ing madness."

Oh, it's much worse than that! I mean, think about it--have people not been using fingers for a long time? Have they not touched things with them, even simultaneously? Did not at least some of those touched things react to said touch?

It's absolutely outrageous that Apple could patent "multi-touch"! Have they and the USPTO no shame?
