I for now welcome your Malware killers overlords...
all in all, by doing so they are actually doing their jobs sparing processing time and hard-drive workload with phony data. yeah it maigh be not much, but when you put this in multi-million-access scale. It benefits both Google and its users.
A normal signature is a picture drawn in a certain fashion with a specific flow and strokes.
We have had signature recognition for a while.
Whats new?

Yes I make mistakes. Don't we all?
very funny your comment and now take a second look at your signature....
Look, this one is easy to bet, he will tell the story backwards, no it is not in flashback, it is really backwards... So watch the last episode, on the pilot show...
it will actually help you social skills, when you say that you have a HYBRID hard drive, it will make people think that you are environmentally friendly, the chicks will stop and listen to you. Even if you say that the hard drive is just for porn.
"First of all, it's not just "checking a box." It's clicking to toggle a checkmark, and dragging across a bunch of other checkboxes to toggle them all on (or off, depending on the state of the first one you clicked).
Second of all, I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, it really bothers me in a cosmic sense that there was a patent granted for something so patently stupid. (Pun slightly intended.) I'm sorry, but this falls squarely in the realm of obvious to me. I mean, really, are programmers expected to patent every single frickin' thing they do out of fear that someone else might? Because that's the world we're living in, and I'd really like for it to change.
On the other hand, I'm sorry, but the Lotus Notes selection model is one of the most frustratingly stupid things I've ever encountered in my life. Almost every other piece of software follows the old click-first-item, shift-click-last-item model. (Or ctrl-click individual items.) It's been in use since... Well, as long as I can remember using a GUI, and I'm really hard-pressed to think of any other way that selections work. Except for Lotus Notes, where they use this asinine system of selecting messages which means that if I have several pages of stuff to select, I have to scroll past each. and. every. one. Frankly, if IBM is the only company that can do this and it prevents any other company that has the bright idea from implementing something like this, then I can almost bring myself to say that this is a good thing."
did not know what to say, so I just used your reply, for you did not patented it, or attached any license (c. commons, and etc)
Well, IMHO, MS has prevented in part the evolution of new software and tecnologies, but ITOH they also gave quite a wild platform to carry us this far, if we are in the wrong place well, no one to blame here. It is indeed a nice attitude to ISO OS's, it is also a dream to imagine an mutant platform OSX+windows+linux, that could support your favorite app? we have enough horse power to run virtual machines to support this kind of things the only real issue here is not technology, but business plan, if one could answer this simple question that the major player will ask:
How can we profit from it?
Then a ISO OS could not one come true, but also survive in the years to come.
So far I've read all this thread and not a single person really welcomed the ultra-inteligent inteligence, so just for the hack of it, let me type in here, the two of our most beloved phrases...
I for now welcome the ultra-inteligent overlords... Now imagine a Beowulf cluster of these machines.
No sir we don't, but accidentally, we crashed into you gmail account, and accidentally we forwarded all the porn e-mail to your mom, your perv... Thanks for enjoying our flightsim.

thanks.
Canadian chicks are soo cute,
I could drink a case of them and still be on my feet,
still be on my feet...
..could suck the chrome off a Harley...
Harley also outsource, they have a plant in Brazil.
They're not in Kansas (alone) anymore.
Asta la (windows) vista....
I could write long response, to support you, but my keyboard driver is not stable enough in this vista box.
...ubiquious in ways computers never could be. Even laptops don't get into places you will find phones.
Sure, i can see it how far, places like the botton of a toilet seat, you kitchen sink, street mail boxes... you name it...
"With the screen area so small what will happen is that ads will appear on separate screens before the content"
By separeted screens, you meant: into (wichever) cell phone happens to be next to me, right?
sweeet.

HUmmm, your question is not only pertinent, but raises a lot of questioning on WHY DO YOU want to know that??

Hummm, amazing, I think we could use this invention to run free from religious persecution and find a new world to our faith...
I wonder if can read and follow a KML file, that would be soooo freakin cool. Kudos gor the google dude who heard our cry for a flightsim into GE.
No sir we don't, but accidentally, we crashed into you gmail account, and accidentally we forwarded all the porn e-mail to your mom, your perv...
Thanks for enjoying our flightsim.
PS: the NSA looooved some of your e-mails.
