also people call people who are foaming at the mouth about Apple mindless followers because a LOT of them ARE mindless followers.
Proof?

Think of this. If the iPhone 5 got a 4 inch screen how many people will clamor over Apple's decision to do so?
Not me, that's for sure. A 4" screen is idiotic.

but when Jobs mentioned that no one wants 4in screens how many people mindlessly agreed with him?
Me. Who will continue to "mindlessly agree" with him if a 4" iPhone exists. Because that's too large.

...design patent that Apple is waving toward? ...Motorola!!??
Interesting. Hadn't heard that. Link?
And why would we object to it? It's intellectual property theft. We'd be just as okay with a lawsuit (as long as it's justified, of course) about intellectual property theft of any other company on any other company in any other industry. It's just that this is an Apple website and we don't talk about other companies in other industries here, really.
For instance...I haven't seen one (or more than one) Apple fan on this site object to the design patent that Apple is waving towards Samsung (understandably IMO) and...Motorola!!?? But I have seen many Android fans happy that Apple is telling Samsung to stop semi-copying and be a bit more unique (I'm one of them).
Well it's really hard to get upset about Apple's use of design patents and community designs to defend the iPad because it's pretty easy to avoid infringing either by simply making devices look different.
On the other hand if you read the threads were we discussed the software patents you'd have seen several of us Apple fans expressing the hope that the courts and USPTO would tighten up the standards on awarding and upholding them.

Stopped reading there, to be honest.

Oh, okay. I buy that. It's completely valid.
