	Graffiti (Palm OS) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Graffiti was originally written by Palm, Inc. as an alternate recognition system for the Apple Newton MessagePad, when NewtonOS 1 couldn't recognize handwriting very well at all.
		Graffiti also runs on the Windows Mobile platform, where it is called "Block Recognizer," and on the Symbian UIQ platform as the default recognizer.
		The original Graffiti system was the subject of a lawsuit from Xerox, claiming it violated Xerox's patent relating to its Unistrokes technology (U.S. Patent 5,596,656, granted in 1997).

	Graffiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word "graffiti" expresses the plural of "graffito", although the singular form has become relatively obscure and is largely used in art history to refer to works of art made by scratching the design on a surface.
		Graffiti culture itself is the creator of its own fairly extensive slang primarily used by graffiti artists and not by the unaffiliated wider hiphop culture, making it unique to style.
		Graffiti artists or "writers" sometimes select their nicknames ("tags"), like screennames, to reflect some personal qualities, but often a tag is chosen for how the word sounds when spoken aloud or how the letters sit with each other when written; usually referred to as how the tag "flows".

	Graffiti - Graffiti Art
		Graffiti is a type of deliberate marking on property, both private and public.
		Graffiti originally was the term used for inscriptions, figure drawings, etc., found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs, or at Pompeii.
		The difference between tagging and graffiti is arguable, but some say it's a clear one: tagging is gang-motivated and/or meant as vandalism (illegal) or viewed as too vulgar or controversial to have public value; while graffiti can be viewed as creative expression, whether charged with political meaning or not.

	Lawlink NSW: Legal Graffiti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Graffiti is generally described as any type of illegal writing, drawing, or scratching on buildings, fences, walls, trains, buses, bus shelters, utilities etc. Illegal graffiti is harmful to the community in terms of destruction of property and the costs involved in removing or preventing it.
		Graffiti may include 'tagging', which is the graffitist's stylised signature, or involve more complex 'pieces' of graffiti art.
		Like legal graffiti walls, they may be funded by State or local government or community organisations as a way of encouraging graffitists to channel their artistic skills in to legal projects.

		But there are also other ways they try to catch graffiti artists: for example they once set up a reward for people to tell them the names of the most wanted graffiti artists.
		They say that a graffiti artist who gets caught has got to clean all his illegal Graffitis by himself instead of paying heaps of money to let them be cleaned.
		On the whole in my opinion graffiti artists should be punished for their illegal graffitis, but I do not think their life should be destroyed by having to pay more money than they possibly can raise in their lifetime.

	Graffiti
		Graffiti doesn’t have to be allowed to continue, it will no matter what, and that has to be accepted.
		If graffiti is accepted by society completely, artists would get up by their skills in the gallery rather than having the most tags around the city.
		Since it won’t gain fame in a museum just because it is ‘graffiti’, artists do their work in the same place where it is respected and appreciated- the streets.
