In my experience, with plenty of relatives who have never used a Mac until they came to my home and used one, some of them with absolutely no computer experience, none of them had any difficulty figuring out two finger scroll.
Got a tip for us?

Here you go, reading is fundamental. Or not.

That's the same piece you quoted earlier.
It doesn't change anything. You're still confused. And frankly, that piece is a hive of FUD to begin with...

Keep dismissing and ignore the acts. Read before commenting or sniping.
I hate to be a Wikipedia Warrior but...
Does Google licence it? Motorola? HTC? Verizon?
I'd say reading is fundamental for sure.

There are two people at fault here.

And the naive.
Ok, I missed the "through" in the original post, sorry.
However, you did manage to cherry pick the one version of Windows "through 3.X" that looked and worked the least like Mac OS... (and which many people have probably never seen).
Meanwhile, if you want a real MAC-OS look-and-feel rip off, look at GEM:

Now they did have it coming... I had an Atari ST (aka the 'Jackintosh') for a while, which managed to avoid the Apple lawsuit and kept the original look-and-feel.
You can't actually know that without having seen the prior negotiations between Apple and Samsung. Beyond that if they believe they can prove patents to be invalid, they're doing everyone else a service by eliminating something which never should have been granted. The same can be said if Apple invalidates trivial patents granted to any of its competition.
What a biased writing style. From that link.
No I didn't. I went with Version 1.0 of each. I didn't spend hours looking at all version and picking my screenshots.

Which has zero to do with Samsung. Until the courts declare against Android and tell folks they can't use it, Samsung can only be hit on hardware and software items they changed or added to Android's core version. Not that core version. Just this week the courts refused to allow discussion of that core in a suit against Samsung, confirming that that is an issue with Google.
Yep, anything is easy once it's shown to someone.
To be clearer, I was referring to scrolling a div or frame on iOS. I ran across people all the time who didn't know about the secret need to use two fingers.
(Like pinch zoom, it makes "sense" once you find out. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything in the iPhone manual on the frame scroll topic, so knowing about it totally relied on either a lucky discovery or reading an explanation on the web.)

Dismissing a fact with an unrelated counter argument "oh but it doesnt effect me so the facts are Fud"
Is a bit of a silly comment
Stealing a product and sticking your own crap ontop of it isnt anything to brag about. Samsung, Android Google are being dragged into court per Steve Jobs because thier products didnt exist before Iphone. Ipod 2001 is the start all of this form factor crap. iOS is the start of All this android court crap.
The droid reference for the 5-10 very deeply misguided and severely delusional readers that are chuffed with their retorts is:
Illegally taking something for free will get back to copycats in some manner. Jobs story isnt fud, its a bit of revenge.
HTC knew this and so will Samsung. But dont let their 1bn loss get in the way of your party.
Are people really this dense? Better yet, it seems people do not know how to read.
Dont you know how to read? Seriously, dont you know how to read?
Lets repeat it for the billionth time. No, lets repeat it another billion times.
Apple has not won 1b dollars. They havent received a cent.
With the appeals, apple may never see a dime.
The people on this board. Is this a damn joke how dense people here are?
They aren't trying to stop Android's success. Just success based on someone else's ideas.
The issue is really more of a semantic one. Some folks define 'stolen' as an act that involves a physical object wretched out of someone else's literal possession. Others use the term in a broader sense of any violation against anyone's legal rights.
And in the broader sense there is potential that Android is a 'stolen' item. The potential needs to be tested and confirmed which is what the courts are for.
Until that test is actually complete it is annoying to hear folks making blanket statements of confirmed guilt whether the party is Google, Samsung, Apple etc
After reading your comments on this thread, I can say with confidence that yes, I live in a different reality than you do.
Good and please do close the door behind you. They certainly look alike, but quite different.

Thanks Judge Judy
As of: (looking at watch) November 17th Apple has won the lawsuit until things change (if they ever do!)
Blabbering about semantics is the very reason Android clan is in court because they slice and dice reality until even thievery becomes an honest living.
Next case Judge?
Uh, not again.

Your surprised yourself with that one, eh?
So you admit what you've been doing is silly ? How many times do we need to prove to you that "Droid" is a Verizon license from Lucasfilm before it starts to sink in ?

As a matter of fact, they did change :
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/10/apple-rubber-band-patent-invalidated-by-previous-apple-patent/
One of the patents that is part of the 1 billion $ verdict has been invalidated. This thus changes the verdict (can't infringe and don't have to pay damages for invalid patents).
Samsung has a motion due for hearing on the 6th of december for Jury misconduct which could also greatly affect the outcome of the trial.
One a judgement
Another pending
Thanks for playing the recolving door Android Semantic game.
I bet you that you can't find any single virus for Android. This summarizes your knowledge
Windows is a stolen OS. Android is just highly inspired by iPhone OS. It's not like they ripped off the OS and its specific features.
If Samsung did not exist Sharp, LG, Foxconn, HTC, etc. would just be larger to meet consumer demand. The world would get along just fine without Samsung.
