Comment Re:Uh-oh, they're catching up! Someone tell Apple! (Score 1) 264

Thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to say. The iPhone/iPod Touch is in no danger of being overtaken by the competition any time soon... I almost laughed when I read the bit about MS, Palm, Google, etc. catching up. I know this sounds fanboyish, but to be completely honest, I don't have any product loyalty. I use whatever I feel is the best gadget for me and my purposes, and at this point in time, my iPhone 3G does everything (and more) that I need/want in a phone and mobile PDA. Apple has spent far more time and research on user interfaces and usability than the competitors, I think, and it shows.

How you ever got modded insightful is beyond me, because you really have no idea what you're talking about. As an iPhone owner since the day it was released, and as a very tech savvy geek who is not swayed by flashy advertising and "status symbolism," I can tell you the iPhone suits my needs perfectly. For me, the App Store is probably the biggest thing I like about it. There's just an insane amount of software available for it: I can play all kinds of games on it, I can SSH into my home Linux box, as well as SFTP into it and grab files, I can email, surf, text, watch TV shows and movies. It really does everything I need it to.

Now don't get me wrong, the exclusion of copy and paste for this long is simply inexcusable, and frankly it's absurd. I'm glad this summer they're finally adding that "feature" in with the new firmware update. The iPhone isn't perfect, and there are still a few things I could see being improved, but for the most part, it's the killer phone.

Just use Javascript, watch for either some mouse movements or onBlur/onFocus.. and if those are present, then isHuman will == 1, and you pass that to the server side. Actually, you'll want to have some obscure variable name to make it less obvious.
