Know what tech company files nearly 10 times the number of patents in the areas of UI and what people claim are "obvious" technologies that Apple does? *Samsung*. Good for the goose, good for the gander. This is how every major (and minor) technology company plays the game these days. This isn't Apple's fault, anymore than it's the fault of IBM (huge, huge patent filer), Microsoft, Motorola, HP, Yahoo (also huge number of patents filed every year), Google, Asus or anyone else. I get tired of folks who focus solely on chastising Apple when these sorts of patents get noticed; they seem blinkered to anyone else's insane patents. For fun: take a look at the PatentBolt website and just see some of the "obvious" stuff coming out of tech firms ... Apple is no worse than any of them. A "chameleonic device" that runs different OSes from Google? A laptop with a "built-in stylus" from Toshiba! A hybrid laptop-tablet! Wow! Whatever will these multi-billion dollar tech giants "invent" next!
