I'm retired, you insensitive clod!
Now excuse me, I have to tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.

NeXTSTEP 4.0 Alpha; sometimes mis-called Beta on web sites.
The software featured tabs across the screen bottom for various window types. (We cribbed these for Mac OS 8.5 after the merger, as the tabbed window feature.) The Documents tab was a window which presented icons of documents, each of which could be a preview of the actual document, badged to indicate the associated application.
This implementation nicely meets all the claims, but predates the patent application by 5 years. I won't bother going through all the details, but Cygnus is boned. Software patent litigation as a business model is so last decade...
Hmmm... I wonder who would have the most to gain by undermining Apple
No, no. The ultimate target isn't Apple. The ultimate target is anyone who tries to apply restrictions on their software via copyright and license.
It's all about legal acquisition without obligations. For example, Evil, Inc might want to acquire software that happens to fall under this license: http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html It might be neat to take all that stuff, tweak it to run a settop box/game system/file server/toaster and not have to worry about those pesky restrictions like making source code available.
Not that anyone would actually do something like that...
Apple has failed to deliver a fully compostable computer built solely with clean straw and dung from goats on a macrobiotic diet. This is particularly disappointing when one realizes that other companies have been delivering dung-based computing technology for years.
I haz a prior art. What I do wif it?
This is all part of DisplayPort, the display connection. Like HDMI, the digital display connection for HDTV gear, DisplayPort includes an end-to-end encryption mechanism. (Take a look at HDMI/HDCP.)
The end-to-end secure data path is something the HD content providers insist on.
In which your character must decide whether or not to take a bath, with or without the aid of servants!
Ah, truly thrilling gameplay at it's very best. The quest to find double-walled pails with lids; the confrontations with kitchen staff; and certainly not least, the challenge of racing from the kitchens to the bath before the water cools, while minimizing delays from Guardsmen checking to make sure there were no knives hidden in the water.
I can hardly wait. No, strike that. Yes, I can.
