Palm Kills Off Graffiti

Posted by Hemos on from the the-end-of-the-circles dept.

Ed writes "PalmSource, the company that makes the Palm OS, has decided to stop using Graffiti for text input in all future versions of its operating system. Instead, it will switch to using a version of CIC's Jot recognition system, which will be called Graffiti 2. PalmSource was forced to make this move after losing a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Xerox. Jot is already used by the Pocket PC operating system. You can read more about it on Brighthand."

    if it weren't for the fucking 20-second waiting period.

    And also, I had to pull my cock out of Kate Fent's mouth, so that took a little time, too.

    Shit man, you have a lot of problems but it sounds like you need to quit smoking so much cock. Get yourself a Dick-orette patch and slap that puppy on your blistery mouth. Not only will it help you quit your addiction but the fact that you are denying your boy-toy's daily blow, should help twist his arm (or other limb) into gratifying you for once. Damn, your boyfriend sucks(I know not literally), but seriously...he sounds like the kind of guy who will just fuck you in the ass and not even have the common courtesy to reach around and jack you off. And as for the dildo, if you don't wanna have anything to do with it, just don't. Throw it back at him. Ain't nuthin' like a little gratuitous cock-flinging out his second floor window in Lag to get the party started.

    Good luck.
    Love,
    Edge

  7. Xerox has the patent? by sunspot42 · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    According to the article:

    In April 1997, Xerox sued Palm, claiming that Graffiti was essentially derived from its patented Unistrokes technology.

    That's really odd. I thought Pee Wee Herman had the patent on Unistrokes.
