What is Digg?116 Comments
- via509, on 08/28/2008, -0/+153What's up with those ET fingers?
- MrSkills, on 08/28/2008, -0/+149"Apple patents special touchscreen system for people with horrifically disfigured hands".
- Rev0lver, on 08/29/2008, -1/+80The ***** is up with those fingers?
- Velnich, on 08/29/2008, -0/+62Clicked "comments" just to comment on ***** up hands.
- kds405, on 08/29/2008, -0/+44Will it work with my normal people hands?
- katjas, on 08/29/2008, -0/+29We're sorry. The fingers you have used to dial are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the key pad with your palm...now.
- ninjasays, on 08/29/2008, -0/+23Creepy hands.
- FunkyWitDaSysTm, on 08/28/2008, -4/+26well, they'd be morons for not exploring this, but this doesn't mean it's actually coming or, if it is, that it will be here anytime soon. remember those patent applications for the stereoscopic display that required no goggles?
in any case, i certainly hope it's coming soon. buttons/keys are for cavemen. - hughtopia, on 08/29/2008, -0/+16I was more thinking it was Gollum. Yikes!
- chispito, on 08/29/2008, -0/+14I hope they can figure out something to take care of the tactile feedback issue for the keyboard.
- Wootstapler, on 08/29/2008, -0/+12Seriously? Those hands? C'mon Apple.
- punkcat, on 08/29/2008, -0/+12Dugg for creepy hands and early Simpsons hands.
- donsherio, on 08/29/2008, -0/+10OMG wtf is with those hands....
- peestandingup, on 08/29/2008, -3/+12So, after 30 years of making computers, developing the first usable GUI & first affordable mainstream personal computer, Apple Inc is now the "iPhone maker"??
- PrometheusBorn, on 08/29/2008, -2/+10I had hoped that Apple came up with some innovative way that touchscreen typing wouldn't suck. They made the iPhone more user friendly than I ever thought a pocket computer could be. This doesn't look as friendly.
Maybe if they provided a small shock to you each time you hit a key... hmmm.. :) - raydeen, on 08/29/2008, -0/+8I see esc, ctrl, and pgup...THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY ANY KEY!!!!
- cquinnd, on 08/29/2008, -1/+8The hands are proof that Apple has been building devices using alien technology.
- asus2000, on 08/29/2008, -4/+11don't underestimate the tactile feedback..
- scotchw, on 08/29/2008, -1/+8If that's what Apple touchscreen does to your hands, I'm glad I don't have an iPhone
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7Fear the Claw!
- hard2pronounce, on 08/29/2008, -0/+7"For example, control-alt-delete functionality may be implemented. . . ."
Not to discredit the reliability of these documents, but why would Apple be using control-alt-delete as an example for multi-touch functionality, instead of command-option-escape? - punkcat, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6i know, that dude is seriously hoped up on some caffeine.
- mindsnare, on 08/29/2008, -0/+6Shyeah, they are some creepy-ass hands. And/Or creepy ass-hands
- AVigorVermin, on 08/29/2008, -2/+7don't those hands look so relaxed?
/sarcasm - DeFex, on 08/29/2008, -5/+10Those hands look like they were crippled from pressing the "command key" to right click too much.
- AndrewDB, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5Live long and prosper, only severely broken?
- inactive, on 08/29/2008, -0/+5the first pic, the guy is saying "damn you window maximize! "
- raptordrew, on 08/29/2008, -3/+7Honestly, trying to type on a glass surface with no clear-cut way to tell where the keys are without looking is kind of retarded. It sounds so good on paper, but in practice it just doesn't come up as well as you'd think.
/iPhone, tablet PC, PDA user - raydeen, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4He's still trying to figure out what he just said.
- Whaines, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4So... you want high quality then?
- ahhell, on 08/29/2008, -0/+4Why haven't you killed yourself yet?
- knifesideleft, on 08/29/2008, -1/+5Can't digg this enough, oh man.
- EtherGnat, on 08/29/2008, -3/+7I was ready to digg you up until "buttons/keys are for cavemen.". Touchscreen interfaces are perfect for some applications, but they're not (and never will be) a universal replacement for a mouse and keyboard.
- xenon221, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4This is really old. It basically outlines what Apple was originally working on that morphed into the iPhone. Yes, I'm a smart ass.
- asus2000, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3Instead of a stylus it comes with those Halloween rubber slip-ons..
- xcvbn, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have ...
- bradysdaman, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3not to sound like an idiot....but why do you need a camera on both sides?
- raydeen, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3I see four lights.
- laserob, on 08/29/2008, -1/+4It sure is.
- mmijatov, on 08/29/2008, -0/+3How many lights do you see?
- treelovinhippie, on 08/29/2008, -3/+6This is where mainstream laptops will be in 5 years... nice work Apple.
- adammharvey, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2I love the crude hand drawings
- Kyan, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2And don't forget the "ctl-alt-del" reference.
- Skor459, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3Up-vote any comments that even mention hands.
LOL HANDS AM WEIRDS. - cquinnd, on 08/31/2008, -0/+2Them and Braun.
- NaCl, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3So when Microsoft showed it's Windows 7 with multi-touch functions, everyone was, " Who the hell would ever want to touch the screen all the time." But when Apple shows the same thing, now "buttons/keys are for cavemen." Interesting.
- bradysdaman, on 08/29/2008, -1/+3you shouldn't be glad, its awesome
- rossnyc, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2Dude, they're drawings. Give them some time.
- asw66, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2In the AppleInsider forum there were 24 comments before someone mentioned the MUTANT FREEKBOY HANDS. What is wrong with these people?
- inditech, on 08/29/2008, -0/+2I see what you d... wait... what?
