Palm/3Com Graffiti A Patent Infringement on Xerox

Posted by Hemos on from the no-more-scribbling dept.

Olmy's Jart writes "According to this article on money.cnn.com, a judge has ruled that graffiti, the one stroke shorthand used on Palm Pilots, infringes a Xerox patent for "unistrokes". Really light on details and no links to betters sites, unfortunately." MSNBC also has the story.

    BTW: if the damned registration system worked, I wouldn't be an Anonymous Coward. Why can't your script send me e-mail? The address IS correct and valid. Since your bug tracker is incompatible with IE and Netscape refuses to go for more than a few seconds w/out hanging or otherwise misbehaving under OS X, I can't register on Source Forge to report the bug. You got that, I can't register on SF to complain that I can't register on /.
