I don't see plugins.js and main.js loading twice. And that CSS warning can only come from other tabs you had open as we don't include any `-o-` prefixed code in the CSS.
I think these are all Opera quirks. It is saying there are unhandled exceptions when all the ones it identified are inside a try/catch. It looks the -o- warnings are coming from the internal feature detects that we use in jQuery 1.8, we really can't avoid those without browser sniffing.
"In making this statement about their awareness of past work, I am not criticizing Westerman, the iPhone, or Apple. It is simply good practice and good scholarship to know the literature and do one's homework when embarking on a new product. What I am pointing out, however, is that "new" technologies - like multi-touch - do not grow out of a vacuum. While marketing tends to like the "great invention" story, real innovation rarely works that way. In short, the evolution of multi-touch is a text-book example of what I call "the long-nose of innovation.""
The link also provides a nice overview of the history of touch.
Would you ever think about patenting a double touch interaction when you were the first to implement a double click action on a touchscreen? I think these things are so obvious I would even be ashamed to call them my innovation.
Well the Palm Pilot isn't multitouch so ofcourse you can't do a pinch there.
But double click just works out of the box on almost all devices when an existing OS is used.
I think you should give this a read: http://www.billbuxton.com/multitouchOverview.html and notice these words: "What I am pointing out, however, is that "new" technologies - like multi-touch - do not grow out of a vacuum."
This note is very clever. A lot of "fact" are just wrong but they are written in a very convincing manner so that nobody will check them.
"sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right"
Well Steve Jobs liked to quote something like this: "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Jobs was clearly spreading the message that Apple liked to steal mastering the "borrowed" product making it into a product of their own. Apple made no secret about stealing design from Braun and Sony. Jobs had great respect for those companies.
And I think the same applies to Samsung. They have great respect to Apple (although today that may have changed) and mastered the iPhone into an even greater product than the iPhone.
"We value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth."
Well they may be the best looking products on earth for some, but they are absolutely not the best products. Apple mouses look great and are great to obtain RSI. MacOs is looking great but I can't get as productive with it as with Windows or Linux. The Mac Mini is looking great but I can buy twice the power for the same price. Most Apple products are looking great but why not supply a standard connector? Well we know the reason for that one. And now they are called the most valuable company of today.
Yes Samsung did look very closely to Apple's products but so did Apple to other products.
We all copy!
-edit1- Brown -> Braun ;) thanks.
-edit2- I also was thinking about a tablet I once bought. This was a complete copy of the iPad. Even the box had the same white design. But Apple didn't go after that company. Why? Because it was a peace of crap. You had to break the tablet before the screen became responsive and the battery didn't last 10 minutes.
It's not randomly. In work I use Iceweasel for private gmail (and Chrome for company gmail), where I have set Results per page to 100 and chose to Never show Instant results long time ago. It simply does not work!
I go to google.com, start typing and Google starts showing me some instant results and hitting Enter gives me only 10 results per page. (The same settings are respected for non-private gmail in Chrome, though.)
Photosynthesis is predominantly powered by red and blue visible light. The manufacture of Vitamin D in our skin is triggered by UV. Also in humans Vitamin D is not an energy source, unlike the sugars commonly produced by photosynthesis in plants.
Also: I'm on Opera and get a lot of CSS errors. Some are strange: "-o-opacity is an unknown property".
