Here's a video of James Gosling showing the the Star7 PDA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ahg8OBYixL0 It's absolutely mindblowing what they built in one year in 1992(!). It had had a touch screen and inertial scrolling.
Wouldn't that be prior art to Apple's scrolling patent?
Invalidating prior art? Well, that's a very different question.
I'm no javascript expert so this is probably not the prettiest way of doing this, but: javascript:void(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].bgColor="#eeeeee");void(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].text="#333333"); Makes the article readable

If you want to set up a quick way to make any article readable, you can make a bookmarklet (Javascript bookmark that runs on the current page) for it here: http://readable-app.appspot.com/setup.html Not affiliated.

Also, 1992 was late for touch screens. Plato (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato_computer) had one in 1972, and wasn't even the first (http://billbuxton.com/multitouchOverview.html)
So, like almost everything in technology, once you zoom out enough, things that seemed outliers start to fit in patterns.
