The patent should never have been granted in the first place - Apple are about 20 years late by my reckoning: http://www.google.com/patents?id=7vKrAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract#v=onepage&q&f=false (and I'll bet there are earlier examples than that) One of these days there's going to be a very serious backlash against Apple... n/a

It opposes innovation instead of supports it. - Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen - Make some more box arts damnit! http://create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=285363

I tried asking for opinions in the other thread a few weeks ago but it didn't get all that constructive But honestly, that patent is dead wrong even by the faulty patent laws.
