I don't see anything wrong with taxing it like any other income. Why should someone who earns $250k via salary pay nearly 40% but someone who earns $1M through capital gains pay only 15%?
Income should be treated as income.
Got a tip for us?

Ha! The Galaxy S3 supports up to 7Hz arse oscillations! Very useful if you're playing the Restroom Run game.
Funny some people would just ignore this fact and saying it's a minor insignificant problem.
When something minor and good come off an iPhone? Woww .. Apple really great into detail.
When something equally minor is bad and glitchy? Oh doesn't matter. It's okay to me, 'no phone is perfect' yadda yadda all of a sudden.
Grow up folk, be fair on your judgement and have some OBJECTIVITY, please

Great, we have the lamest bar trick ever.
Maybe it has to do with heat from the friction you're generating against the screen with your finger. If you do it vertically (or diagonally) in the same spot you get the problem after a few seconds. If you move side to side (along the x axis), while swiping rapidly vertically (y axis) i had no issue at all.
Ever noticed that when any iphone is really hot from the sun, you get swipe issues?

This is moronic. Any increase in the capital gains rate will result in fewer people cashing out their gains, which means LESS revenue for uncle Sam.
Rich folk who pay no taxes, are living off of after tax cash they already had in the bank. They will take no salary from their jobs (Steve had a $1 salary as CEO), and instead take compensation in comapny stock which they do not sell, or realize a gain. Whatever other income they have, they offset by write-offs (deductions, charity) so their effective income is in fact actually ZERO. When they do sell their company stock, yes they're taxed at long term (after one year) capital gains rates.
If you want to tax rich people more, all you have to do is implement a different capital gains rate, for those who earned their stock/assets through job compensation.

I think you are correct because I tried rapid swiping without getting close to the corner or edge and didn't have an issue.
But we will see.
This is very simple, but most people like you are clueless as to the actual facts.
The reason capital gains are taxed at a lower rate is because the money used to buy stocks, bonds or anything like that has already been fully taxed as wages or salary.
You buy stocks with money that has already been taxed at regular rates. You are being taxed twice on the same money. That is why capital gains are taxed lower than salaried income. Make Sense? Or is it just that anybody who has worked hard, and invested their hard earned (and fully taxed) money is somehow evil?
I just tried this on mine, rubbing with a stylus (like rubbing off a smudge) diagonally across an inch or so right in the middle of the screen (as not to hit the bezel, a bit more scientific type testing, I guess) and I can replicate it in every app, even the springboard/homescreen.
It seems to be specific directions only, and moving direction slightly causes it to work again. In my phone's case, it's the exact direction from corner to opposite corner and only when the direction changes (the smallest fraction) does the response come back. I'm assuming that this is similar to the Nexus One X-Axis issue (which I also had), which'd mean it's a hardware fault.
Edit: just tried Autodesk's Sketchbook MobileX, which isn't optimised for the iPhone 5, and the touch response is even worse. Trying to shade diagonally with a stylus isn't consistent at all.

Not a valid use case for normal users
Why someone would scroll like a mad? Even in games do you swipe your screen which practically blinds the content if you do this act continuously?
May be I have not but can someone illustrate beyond this mad scrolling?

Please be careful, with your nail you might end up peeling the gorgeous display panel ;-)

There is a similar problem if you use your iPhone upside down and your testicles are wrapped in aluminum foil. Do you think we should report that problem too?
Are you F'in kidding me?....this video and the knucklehead who discovered the problem needs to get a REAL job.

In addition to what others have said, you must realise that investing isn't a safe process. One is not guaranteed to make a profit. Any effective tax rate on capital gains already makes it difficult to invest, as it (along with brokerage fees, etc.) cuts into the percentage gain. Imagine I've invested $1000.00 each in two companies, and one stock under-performs and I lose money while the other makes me slightly more than I lost with the former. With such a high effective tax rate, I'll end up losing money on the ordeal.
In other words, it makes the risk involved in investing/trading too great for many (or potentially most) people. Plus it will hurt the small-time investors disproportionally more than the large; those with more money have greater access to diversification.
What if this is a function of the in-cell touch sensing they're using? Since touches are supposedly read between the screen updates (screen refreshes have far too much noise to reliably read touch points) maybe there's some logic in the touch screen controller to reset and halt sensing for a moment when it thinks that it needs to take a moment to recalibrate.
Yeah, I'm making this up on some background knowledge in signals and what I read about in-cell screen tech.

Bollocks. You can scroll down in Safari as fast as possible, you have to do it at least 5 times faster than that to trigger this.
The amount of people in this thread popping up saying "I've noticed this" when they blatantly haven't or even better the ones applying this to the reason why they think they're keypad isn't as responsive as the 4S. Brilliant. Sigh.

What a shame
I noticed this immediately after using my iPhone 5. I have so far only noticed it in Safari, when I am attempting to very quickly scroll down to the bottom of a long webpage. After four or five swipes, the screen stops responding for a moment and sometimes even send me backward. I had assumed it was a Safari bug.
so the guy in the video just found out a non-issue for which is the only one to care for, great
just an issue for fruit ninja addict or serial masturbator

Non fault for me in real world use, much like AntennaGate. The iPhone 5 is an awesome phone as far as using it everyday.
If this really is a problem in some games I'm sure Apple will rollout a fix in their usual manner - Unlike Androids ability to keep their devices up to date, and I've seen plenty of software bugs that people just seem to live with on Android like its expected to have a few bugs.
Apple users expect perfection, Android enthusiasts like to jump on the band wagon pointing out the faults.
It will always be so. iOS vs Android, ATI vs nVidia, AMD vs Intel, Mac vs PC, or any other Quality/Simple Design vs Performance/Full Control.
