Multitouch was existed for a long long time. Just got more common recently with cheaper technology. Apple rarely invents anything. They just package it better then claim they've invented it. Not to say they suck. I'm not a huge fan of everything they make but they do have some really neat stuff. They should just stop claiming to have invented a lot of stuff.

Just like a lot people say Microsoft follows in the footsteps of Apple, Apple also took a lot of stuff from elsewhere. Either buy out or just take it from elsewhere. OSX had a lot of features people said Apple invented when those features had been out on Linux for a while.]]>Jul 5th 2010 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/

Therefore what was the point of the comment. If you are saying because this article(or the subject of it) isn't using multitouch as a gimmick that is why it's no longer a gimmick that makes no sense because that would mean up to this point it was a gimmick but now no longer is, and there was nothing in this article(or the subject) to constitute that. ]]>Jul 3rd 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/I guess I will rescind, as I think I realize you guys were using gimmick with a negative connotation which I did not pick up on.

See the real problem we had is you aren't using words they way they are defined. I will somewhat let gimmick slide, because it is commonly used with a negative connotation and in some dictionaries has some definitions stating it with a negative meaning as well, but how would you possibly know if I was trolling? If I was trolling that would be some awfully terrible trolling, most definitely not even worth defining as trolling.
I understood what you were implying once I realized you were using gimmick with a negative connotation. It doesn't make any sense when you think of it without, which is why this all started to begin with. And gimmick doesn't, by default, have a negative meaning. Just to make sure, I looked in some of the popular dictionaries and was not wrong.]]>Jul 3rd 2010 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/Jul 4th 2010 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/03/ibuypowers-magic-makes-any-game-playable-through-multitouch-vi/http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=define:gimmick
