I think the difference here being that AMD, Motorola, GM, Ford and others don't proactively find ways to patent shit that any child could have come up with given a touchscreen phone (or other assorted technology).
It's not about parroting what others say, it's about the fact that Apple is patenting trivial garbage, on top of proactively seeking lawsuits to stifle competitors and force themselves into a pseudo-monopoly.
Maybe if you stopped hastily generalizing everything you could avoid looking like "some idiot that like(s) to parrot what others say without actually thinking". There is more to the problem than a broken, trivial, meaningless patent.
Also, one more thing: Goddamnit America! Fix your damn patent system! Canadians don't get many new phones and this is only making things worse.
