There's no sense even commenting on this one.

Quick! lets go patent all other shapes in relation to laptops so they have to license it from us! lol

Wouldn't stuff predating the patent render the patent moot?

I read somewhere that Steve Jobs has authorized $1 Billion exclusively to make sure they sue the hell out of everyone who is NOT Apple!!

In theory but who cares PATENT IT ALL!!!!

I should patent cuckoo clocks since I'm sure there aren't any currently in force. Sure, they've only been making them for 200-300 years but WTF? What've I got to lose, right?

I've got nothing against Apple attempting to patent this at all... really, I don't. I do have a problem with the morons who authorised the patent...

I'm going to go hide in a box now and pretend the world doesn't exist...

How much did Apple pay the judge who awarded the patent ??
