So what else is new?!... I, for one, am pretty used to having had 
something for years and then to see some PC vendor and/or M$ sales 
person hawk the same thing as some sort of revolutionary new 
innovation...

<start rant>

What really irks me is that the hacks who call themselves Technology/IT 
journalists lap it all up as manna from heaven with nary a reference to 
the original... More often then not, after having puh puhed the very 
same innovation when it came out of Cupertino...
