USPTO Again Rejects Apple's Claim of Pinch-to-Zoom Patent

Well if this very article mentioned prior art or obviousness because of science-fiction movies, your facts would have been relevant. Apparentely that's not the reason the USPTO rejected the patent, so your facts are a bit off-topic.

Other than being off-topic, are you sure your facts are also correct? I haven't watched the whole Minority Report movie recently, so I don't remember if there are multiple scenes with the glove/screen thing, but looking at this scene on YouTube, there is definitely no sign of pinch-to-zoom. It's more "clap hands to zoom" at 0:27.

Hi Acidsplat,

Would you be kind enough to direct me to the patent Apple submitted for rounded corners? See, I keep hearing about it, but I can only assume it's FUD spread by Samsung as I can't find evidence of it anywhere.
