Well, judging by the amount of money that Apple and Steve Jobbs lost byhaving patents on "their ideas", such as the GUI, etc. I'm notsurprisedthey are *finally* trying to secure their piece of the pie. Had theystartedtrying to patent everything they displayed before, history would nothavebeen as kind to Billy Gates as it did.
Bullshit. Both Jobs and gates stole those "idea's" from xerox. IP is a
bad idea.
Apple paid Xerox for the right to use ideas from Xerox PARC. Microsoft did not.
