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."

    i have been trying to tell everyone of my desktop genius ideas, and no one will pay attention to me!
    homos! retards! hippies! idiots!

    i think Palm should give me a job. i could be head of their user-interface department and then people will
    listen to my ideas! like my time-machine desktop rewind idea! it's so smart! and we'll change Palm to
    run Amiga's OS! i hope they have lots to eat there, because man i love to eat.

    hopefully they will see how experienced i am! i have THOUSANDS of desktop background tiles! i wrote
    a shell script once, too! boy will they be impressed. and if they're not, then their a bunch of ass-ramming
    jerks who are retards! fuck them! i bet they like porn! i don't, that's for SURE. never did.

    Cheers,
