Translator - is an amazing 45 language translator - it hooks into your messaging too
DIRECT TV NFL - To a couple million subscribers Sunday Ticket is a huge deal

Did you try these apps before you called them "lame"?

Craig,

ADD moment, but could you add an "f" to Official in the thread title. It's giving me a headache.

Pogey, I think you mean OCD moment.

That too, but my attention to the thread keeps wavering as I look at the missing "f". It's like when you see something shiny (hot girl) while talking to your wife....

This is what you're saying when you say Poach. This is what you assumed you meant when you used that word. So you're accusing palm or the develoeprs of stealing another's property. That's why we jumped on you. Had you said "oh but these were available in homebrew already" and left out the word Poach the only point most people would have made including me is that "Yes they were, but this means there is new progress in that new Developers were allowed into the official app catalog.

There is such a thing is context, but people are on too much of a hair trigger around these parts to recognize it. If I was accusing Palm of literally stealing, I wouldn't say "it's progress" in the same post. Even moreso, in my second post before most people complained, I explicitly spell out the context in saying that I noticed apps withdrawn from the App Gallery before appearing in the App Catalog, then call it "good news".

Apparently, I wrote everything but the word "poach" in invisotext.

What context? That was your first post using the word Poach. If I take poach to mean what I learned in English class, I could replace the word poach in your sentence with steal and it'd mean the exact same thing.

Wow....just when you think you saw it all.

I guess the little "thanks" icon isn't enough for some. Maybe we can expand upon this....

PLEASE DONATE:
1) If I've made you laugh
2) If I've pissed you off (I should get rich from this one)
3) If I've clicked on your thanks icon
4) If I've done really nothing whatsoever.

Treo/PreCentral should charge him for the advertising space.

Seem a little 'off' to me.

I do not expect nor require anyone to donate anything. I am happy to help in anyway I can.

But if I spend two hours of my time helping you troubleshoot an issue and you feel the need to buy me a hamburger or two then you are welcome to it.

Some people just go to far, thats my personal opinion.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

**mrloserpunk** · 09/03/2009, 11:42 PM

It means what ever he wants it to. Duh.
