			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have an LG Chocolate phone, an iPod,a laptop with a touchpad, and a Nintendo DS, all of which are touch-sensitive. But then the term &#8220;touch-sensitive&#8221; is misleading. The devices don&#8217;t want any kind of touch, they need to be touched (or stroked) in a specific area by a specific thing (Hmmm, sounds like an opening paragraph for erotic literature)&#8211; most preferably, a human finger because these touch-sensitive gadgets only respond to objects with capacitance.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s hilarious that <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/01/02/apple_glove_patent/">Apple came up with a patent</a> for a glove that lets you peel back the tip of the finger. Silly, yes, but if you&#8217;ve ever taken a walk on a cold winter day, you&#8217;ll know why this is needed. My house is a 30-min. walk from work, so I often listen to music. Fast-forwarding, skipping tracks, and rewinding can be done with my gloves on, but I can&#8217;t turn the wheel. It&#8217;s the same with my phone. Both devices long for a human touch (or at least something that has a current running through it) It&#8217;s annoying. Sometimes, I try to scroll through tracks on my iPod using my lips instead of taking off my gloves. Yes, I have caught people looking at me in an odd way. They probably thought I was smooching my iPod.</p>
