Yesterday Apple aired a
bizarre lawsuit against smart
phone
maker HTC, who manufactures the hardware for the HTC Hero (Android 1.5)
and the Nexus One (Android 2.1). The suit seeks to block the import of
the phones from Taiwan. In the suit Apple claims to have invented,
among other things,
cell phone CPU undervolting, object oriented graphics on a cell phone, touch screen unlocking, and
multi-touch gesture control.
The first response to the article had a clever little comment in later posts:
"Sorry
to break it to you, but I just checked with the patent office.
Apparently, Apple patented the act of thinking differently quite some
time ago. Be advised, any and all brain activity henceforth may be in
violation."
