Not totally random, my friend with one discovered the hard way. It takes a vigorous shake of the phone followed by a wiping motion with screen pressure.
I suffer from the same problem so a continual problem with tablets that I don't see going away.
I just started using a napkin.
I got a nice anti-glare plastic screen protector for my Motorola Droid phone, which is very resistant to fingerprints and smudges,
Hard to imagine such things won't be also available for the more popular tablets, eventually.
“The dogma in the cellphone community says that it doesn’t do anything. What she’s shown is that it does do something, and the next thing to find out is what it’s doing and whether it’s causing harm.”
So it's not that it's neither good nor bad, it's that we don't know which yet.
Me too. I'd even vote for Jon Stewart with Al Franken as his running mate, but the reverse would be acceptable too. Either way, no matter who the Republicans came up with, the debates would be WICKED!
Sorry, but perhaps you would please repost your comments using different other words. My custom Adblock Plus filter seems to have removed it from the page.
Their slogan is not "100% accurate"; it's "Fair and Balanced", which, from all available evidence, they apparently interpret as a mandate for airing any crackpot viewpoint as valid counterpoint to, shall we say, less sensationalist perspectives.
They did and they got backlash from the anti-monopoly community and other AV vendors for "repeating the IE mistake" with AV.
Well, as for the big established AV vendors, screw 'em if they can't take a joke.
IMHO, the free MS Security Essentials appears to at least as effective as any of the big two AV's, and so far on all the machines I administer (that is, my own machines and mostly friends and family), it has proven to have far lower impact on CPU and/or memory than they have.
In fact, stripping off Norton and replacing it with MS has, in at least two instances, made such a difference in responsiveness that the people involved ultimately decided not to upgrade their machines.
Or that they are unaware that they already have one, or that they just are too trusting when someone says it's failed.
This is, by far, what happens most often among my friends and family, who tend to call me only after the fact, when something major has already occurred (and now needs to be cleaned up).
I have been using Linux for the past 5 years and I have no plans to abandon it.
Since you're on Slashdot, by definition you are tech-savvy and therefore NOT among those generally referred to as "users."
That group means generally refers to "real" users: people who don't necessarily understand that mail in their GMail/Yahoomail/Hotmail inbox is not actually on their own computer.
Just wait until low-cost eyeball tracking is perfected.
Now, if I could only get everyone to wear my patent-pending tin-foil anti-tracking helmets, I'd make a fortune.
I use Adblock too and this demo was slow when I first loaded the page with Adblock running normally, but it played at pretty much normal speed when I RE-loaded the page, without disabling Adblock for the page's URL. Doesn't seem like an Adblock issue to me.

It's not Java that's the security problem ... it's the user sitting at the machine.

Companies don't patent things because they're hard, they patent things so that they can control their use.
Which boils down to "they patent things so that they can generate revenue from them". Follow the money.

Now when you search for her name all you get are results pertaining to this stupid lawsuit, no matter WHICH search engine you use.
One has to wonder if they are also trying to patent the inadvertent "BSOD" shutdowns. They seem much more complex. ;-)
No need to patent that; there's no demand.
Only 25%?
Maybe six figures for a programming job is fantastic for the first five or ten years, but it pretty much loses its luster after that.
This presumes we're still using mice in 2030, of course.
Don't worry ... Finger Hovering for capacitive touch screens can't be too far off.
