Ho ho ho! Apple's Samsung ban bid pushed back to Christmas

Re: It Seemed A Little Too Quick

Scott Pedigo - "So I was making the point that Apple didn't invent the idea of using icons (versus a hierarchy of text menus), but they did pioneer the use of touch screens for activating those icons. See the difference?"

So, my Sony Ericsson P800 (and all the P series) didn't have icons and a touch screen:

Nor all my Xda's which I had from the practically unusable original (2003?) to the Xda Exec and Xda mini S, which was released in 2005, nearly 2 years before the iphone.

Did Apple pioneer the pinch function, or did they pinch it?

Hackers pierce network with jerry-rigged mouse

'pc link'

We used laplink and had to make our own laplink cables, being poor students and all.

Playing Doom2 multiplayer by serial cable, you had to be drunk to enjoy it.

Mumsnet founder: Our members are 'very keen' on PORN ...

The title is required, and must contain letters and/or digits.

Maybe you should go on mumsnet and post the link to them and simply explain how it can help them.

Maybe they have to pay for the service they want, but if they are made aware of such things then they might calm down.

Historically, thin people were poor, they couldn't afford the amount of food to make you socially over weight, hence there were a lot of thin people.

Painting is a job, the rich generally had extra money to get their pictures done, therefore you will see an good amount of paintings with generally large richer ladies on.

Larger ladies were rare and as well as rich, so large ladies were considered beautiful. Times have changed and the thin girls are now rare.

Girls generally get dolled up, not for pulling blokes, but trying to out do other girls when they are out. Its a shame that most of these didn't get trained in applying makeup and slapping it on with a paintball gun doesn't make you look any better.
