Oh crap, and I went to that exact same press conference too. Sadly, this is not an April Fools joke.

I dont really care much about ones and zeros i much rather have the number 7, i like the number 7 its the best number of them all. So from now on no one can use the number 7 unless they get a written letter from me stating that they can use it.

 

[Counterfit]

42 is obviously the best number ever.

Oops looks like you accidentally tapped the 2 key after the 4 key. Silly silly, we all know 4 is the greatest number.

Typical of M$ to patent the 1's n 0's Apple has already patented the 2.

"If this patent holds up in federal court, Apple will have no choice but to convert to analog, and I have serious doubts whether this company would be able to remain competitive selling pedal-operated computers running software off vinyl LPs."

Mmmmm....vinyl... wasn't that the medium Windows XP was released on, fifty years ago, when it first came out?
