I have to say, the patenting of touchscreen UI design elements seems pretty nuts.
I mean, there are a finite number of ways in which it is possible to touch a screen, and similarly a finite number of ways in which those can be mapped onto interactions with a UI.

It takes two to make a fucked-up internal conflict.
Yeah, the division of catholic and protestant.
Even without that religious divide falling on even sides when it came to nationalising or breaking with England, the Irish have had a fantastic capability for civil unrest without England's help.

Well, the industry managed to find a million bad ways to do it before 2007. They could go back to some of those.

its so hard to argue that the current patent shit is in any way good for anybody
its so shit for consumers and wastes so much human effort

That's partly the resistive vs capacitive thing though.
There are even fewer ways in which it is possible to touch a resistive touchscreen.
i don't really have an opinion on touchscreen UIs but even though apple is sort of the big guy on campus right now in terms of a war chest with which to be corporate assholes... there have been some real blatant design thefts recently. like, one of those samsung series ultrabooks? the 's-voice' thing?
i'm not saying that the rest of the tech industry had it coming, but as someone who doesn't really follow these cases at all, some of the egregious copying has actually had me O_O. like, i would look for the commercials on youtube later to make sure i actually saw what i saw. it's that flagrant, on occasion.
Stealing ideas is a valuable part of improving shit. For most software, a first mover advantage should be enough to incentivize innovation. I'm not really seeing the need for fairly long lasting patents.

I made spaghetti with Prego garlic sauce and ground beef and it tastes so bland. What went wrong? I did freeze the beef but this pasta is about as tasty as cardboard.

also the dogs that find bed bug infestatiosn are fucking cool
So did you guys hear that Apple won a billion fucking dollars from Samsung?
I think the best part is that they're going to turn around and order effectively free parts from Samsung for new iPhones and iPads.
It's getting harder and harder to have a professional respect for Apple.
eh, I hate me some Apple but not because of this case. It's just one battle in a loooong series of patent trollings and counter trollings between the big players. Why do you think Google paid 12 fucking billion dollars for Samsung? The company is not worth a fraction of that. But they have patents like wow.

the idea that somebody might buy a company purely to troll with their patents is just hilarious because it shows how utterly fucked up the incentives are
re: patent length yes there are competition models that simulate the ideal lenghts for patents, but the assumptions are very unrealistic
although the general outcome is that you want really short patents in 99% of things

oh yeah. They bought moto. Had the name Samsung on the brain and got it mixed up.

Not samsung, but of course it is about patent trolling. Which is because our patent system allows such horrible trolling.
Though the apple v. samsung case will be appealed and keep going and going and going.

sitting down to listen to that mix I did

As though anyone honestly expected an American jury to rule against Apple?

Hopefully, Samsung fixes this on appeal.

It's glorious.

If Castle knows where you are right now, that means he's breaking into your empty house and robbing it while you're out.
