"APPLE PATENTS THE LETTER I"
I think one of the worst patents is the "suggesting autocorrects while typing on a touch screen" one. Didn't we have exactly that before, but with T9 and without the touch screen? Just because it's on a touch screen it's something completely different, or maybe Apple just want to patent everything possible ayuaguadbnhn
I hate Apple with passion.

True fact.
Funny. Almost every laptop I've seen has this "wedge" design, including my own. How the hell does that work?
Apple's going to fucking patent air because their employees breathe it.
The more things are patented, the more people have to be creative!
why havent they patented clickpads yet?
I like how everyone is ignoring the fact that other companies could have patented it first but chose not to. It's not like Apple is the only company allowed to patent these vague and generic items and designs. Apple abusing the patent system isn't right, but if it's allowed and it slows down their competitors it's just making smart decisions.
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;36254365]I would rather have no patents. Ideas should be free or others to modify and improve. (IMO)[/QUOTE] Patents are not for ideas, they are for inventions which are very different things. Anyone can come up with an idea but inventing something useful and patentable is much more difficult. Not that this patent is an invention though, it is just stupid. The US patent system is insane - I'm pretty sure this would not be allowed in the UK, maybe I am wrong but I'd have thought it would be a registered design instead.
this is just horse shit
