what an arse, the ability to have multiple areas being touched and recognised at the same time by the screen is a product of capavitive sensing (comes from capacitive coupling), which has been around since the '90s, so dont give me that crap, steve (you dont deserve a capital letter)
Invented my ass. Implemented would be the better term. He should have been sued just for saying that. Microsoft had a few Multitouch devices built for the Government. But Microsoft didn't invent it, and they didn't blurt out bull like this. The military always gets the cool stuff first.
"In 1985, the University of Toronto group including Bill Buxton developed a multi-touch tablet that used capacitance rather than bulky camera-based optical sensing systems."
Jobs can lie until he rots away. The truth always comes out in the end.
Indeed it does. And if you're gonna quote a wikipedia article (without bothering to cite the source) you could at least be honest enough to quote the line almost immediately following your quote.
Here ya go:
"… Except for such area of application as capacitive mobile screens, which did not exist before Fingerworks/Apple's technology."
im sure Steve Jobs like to think he invented OS phones and Mp3 players, cant wait for jobs to hit the nail so that company follows him down the drain.
