Is it just me or does it seem pretty asinine that you this concept can be patented?
Stripping away the technical jargon, it comes down to "multiple sized objects on screen simultaneously."
Just a new version of putting air in a bag and charging people to breath.
I think Copyright and patent law are completely off course, accomplishing the exact opposite of their original intention. All they accomplish any more is to give corporations advantages over small businesses and individuals.
Funny thing is, OS X has supported this functionality for years already. Hopefully this filing simply means that apple has figured out something useful to do with differently sized icons.

Nice fight here. I am not sure though if variable icon size is something I would like to see in the Finder.

If so then OK, but otherwise I don't know.

This seems as though it would be the kind of thing found under the Finder Prefs menu, or possibly, the Appearances menu.
