Apple Joins Lobbying Group to Influence Patent Legislation

[apolloa]

I read this somewhere else yesterday and just thought, oh the shear hypocrisy here is just priceless!
But large corporations bullying governments to get what they want all the time is nothing new.

Really?

I think you have no understanding about this situation or what patent trolls are.

So transferring all the patents it bought from Nortel to IV and letting that act as a PAE absolves Apple from the guilt of being a troll? No wonder Apple is successful if all of you are so gullible all the time..

So the only unlock option left was a combination of physical button to activate the touch-screen plus some kind of on-screen gesture. All that Apple invented is basically a direction of slide! The reason no one did it before is because most previous devices had a physical keyboard so didn't have this problem.

Everything is obvious in hindsight. Once I went through the Theory of Relativity in freshman physics, I couldn't believe no one had thought of it before Einstein.
