OK repling to my own thread, Stylus, dead as in dodo; samsung will disagree but its dead. Touch is in, as in six inches in, and it aint comin out. I remember the Newton for its time it was pretty kick ass; now give me a break.

Whats the point they were failures; not that I'm an apple fan boy, just sayin.

"I'm going to buy it. I'm going to play it with internet connection on. I'm going to be happy in the knowledge that those I'm playing with/against or buying/selling items with will be doing it without cheating." Single player: playing against someone else is not single player its multi player.

He is both English and Welsh; but choose to play for Wales.

I'm not really opposed in principle to Apple using any screw they choose what gets my goat is the fact that after you purchase the product they can change the screws; new product fine existing product not so much. So they are basically saying that we no longer want you to have access to your property after you purchased it. Sony has taught Apple the way to bait and switch after the point of sale so it seems.

I have a bridge you might be interested in...

And then they could accept payment to block certain "apps" or a least slow them down to crawl.

Yeah thats being male and it dosn't have to be a real girl or .. you watched last nights premire of the big bang theory right?

I think the salient point is your getting laid ... motives are irevelent are they not. Or have I missed the whole basis of life on earth?

My kids have played on private servers just like that and it had no effect on their enjoyment of WOW.

My point was that it is not the manufacturers that created this but the public(media) association of the term 'Netbook' with a small laptop. The fact that the term has now become generic should allow manufacturers to use the term to describe their product in that category. Psion still have their 'netBook' Netbook if it even falls into that category. I think they embrace the good fortune of having a genericized product and market it accordingly i.e. The Original Netbook.

just Google 'Netbook' and the hits you get will give you a broad range of manufacturers and specs for small notebooks/laptops that can connect to the web/net. It's a generic term now trademark or not. Generic means that it's manufacturer unspecific, I might want to buy a 'hoover', Dyson, Hoover, Electrolux and DirtDevil all spring to mind. I have already made the association to more than one manufacturer of dust suckers; it's a generic term. Even re-sellers have a category for Netbooks.

I think you just answered the question; Genome Patents are stupid due to the fact they are not invented and not new. At some point in time someone will be born with the mutation that defines x. They are discoveries not inventions.
