Google Handwrite - write with your finger on your phone! 1st August 2012 2:36 PM

“I fear that is because handwriting is fast becoming a lost art. thumbsdown

I think it could be most useful in situations such as Steve suggested.”

I see what your saying but from looking and the video I'm not sure if I couldn't search for information just as fast by typing it in.

I do think that handwriting is becoming a lost art but do you think an application like this willk revive it? Also never been a big fan of handwritting recognition software/application unless using a stylish and even then its not always great. Give me a good old pen and paper anytime.

Samsung Galaxy banned in the US! 1st August 2012 9:24 AM

I'm sure you guys have heard about the recent cross patent lawsuits currently going on with Apple and Samsung. Interesting as they provide some parts to Apple.

What makes this interesting is that there is going to be a jury led trial. Can't wait to see the outcome of this:

Olympic Seats 30th July 2012 11:17 AM

To be fair this happens quite a bit at the Olympics and some other major sporting events so it doesn't come as a big surprise. Think at Beijing they put a number of school kids into venues so that they wouldn't be masses of empty seats on TV.

There will be events like the 100m men's final were there are unlikely to be mainy empty seats but you can't force corporate sponsors to show up, they should really of reduced the number of corporate and media allocations in the first place but they don't really have a choice.

As for Lord Coe of course he is bound to say the games have been a success, would be surprised if he said anything else.

Like you I'm thinking of all sorts of ideas! But will it become saturated in 6 months and lose the novelty factor, or will it become established I wonder?

QR codes seem to be getting more accepted, so I wonder if this will take off as well.”

Looks interesting. Bit of a spectic lot us guys over here when we see stuff like this that sometimes claims it is going to be the thing that everyone is going to use and is amazing and doesn't really result to much but a cool little app. Hasn't augmented been trying to take off for a little while now. Anyway look forward to seeing what becomes of this

Hey shareholders got to get paid eventually Steve. Anyway think a lot of us saw this coming. There has been quite a few over inflated social networking valuations. Wonder if this news will cause investors to be a little more conservative with their valuations of future flotations of social networking companies.

p.s. Apologies for not being on the forum for a while, just been a bit busy. Also could you tell us what what has happened to our signature on our account, it no longer appears on our post.
