I get some of the iPhone hate, but does it really have to be in every thread about the iPhone?
And using an article from 'the staff' of the Sun of all places to rationalize more hate.
You realize this story was buried under one with the headline "Deadly Sausages more salt than crisps" and another story of all the middle aged ladies at the Take That concerts with photos!
IF (and that's an if bigger than the belly on the right, courtesy of the Sun) Apple did file a patent, one should realize it doesn't mean it will actually happen. Claiming and patenting intellectual property is worth $$$.
