You are so right. And let's be fair, Windows is not that bad. It has become more security concious over the years. ----- Original Message ----- From: Rich Ring To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 6:54 PM Subject: Re: say it's not so apple
Trust me, whether we like it or not, FS is still making money. There are still lots of Windows users out there, some of whom are using Windows in a work environment, it is not like they can suddenly decide to use a Mac, it's not up to them. Just a little reality check. ----- Original Message ----- From: Marie Howarth To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 10:47 AM Subject: Re: say it's not so apple FS are desperate, and they're only going to get more desperate.

There are a lot of problems with the FS patent but judges aren't always of the nuances that make one idea different from another. cdh On Aug 24, 2009, at 5:21 PM, Charlie Doremus wrote: The following is copied directly from the Apple site.Find information fast with auto web spots.Many web pages are filled with complex design elements or lack useful HTML tags, making them difficult to convey through a screen reader. So Apple invented new technologies to comprehend and interpret the visual design of web pages, then use the information to assign virtual tags called "auto web spots" to mark important locations on the page. If you're on a newspaper website, for example, there might be an auto web spot for each lead story, another for a box containing weather or sports scores, and so on. You can jump from web spot to web spot with a keystroke or the flick of a finger. And if there's a particular feature on a site you visit often, you can assign a "sweet spot" on that page so that VoiceOver will go there first when the page opens.
