Wow, that's incredible. I find popups and popunders very invasive, so for years I haven't clicked them on principle. I had no idea that it had gotten this far.
I'm going to print off this article (I suggest you do the same) and find the dopey people that I know (the ones who use IE and think sending chain emails is a good idea), thrust it to them and say: "Don't... click... popups!". If that doesn't wake them up, nothing will..
If anyone is interested, I posted the other day about the marvels of Privoxy, which stops a lot of ads, irrespective of browser.
Cores are like girls in 'hot sluts gone wild' scenes - after a certain point you might hardly notice if there's even more of them, but you'd never say "no" to an increase.
But my "operating system" can only deal with one hand- I mean core- at once!
It's mindless, self-indulging, gory, non-challenging (now, not then!), and it's becoming one of timeless those FPS games that won't die because it's story line is simple and not drug out,
In my opinion, DOOM was a good game but it wasn't ground breaking in the same way that Quake was a few years later. It was the first FPS to do real 3D, and gave birth to real FPS competitive play, based on the groundwork that DOOM did with FPS LAN play. Aside from that, the Quake engine led to all sorts of interesting gamemodes and mods that live with us still (Team Fortress was originally a Quake mod), and the physics of Quake 1 still has a legacy today (rocket jumping, bunny hopping).
I think the insurgence of DOOM ports to phones is because the pseudo 3D interface of DOOM lends itself more to the controls of mobile devices. It'd be nice to see more Quake and Duke3D ports.
Well the Samsung Jet uses the same multitouch gesture (I'm pretty sure)
Oops, you can mod me down again, I was talking out of my arse:
Breaking away from multi-touch zoom technology which requires the use of two fingers and two hands, Samsung Jet gives our consumers the ultimate in usability, portability and convenience through the brand-new concept - 'one finger zoom,' which enables one hand operation to zoom in and out. One finger zoom can be used not only for the Internet browser, but also for Photo browser and file viewer to see TXT, PDF and PPT files in four times bigger size - all just with one finger tip while you're on the move.
"One-handed browsing"... maybe I should get me one of those:-D
I've heard rumors, that the zooming gesture won't be officially supported, because it would violate Apple patents. Does anyone know anything about that?
Rumors only so far. Apple hasn't sued Palm for it.
Perhaps, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't infringing

In other words, Windows doesn't suck - The users do. The drivers license analogy is being used to shift some of the blame from the OS to its users.

I forgot to say: Action Quake was another Quake 1 mod, which eventually became Counter Strike.
