What would be 1-click good for ? If you want to scroll the outer pane and at the same time scroll with the content within the embedded frame, this is really the first solution that comes to mind.

You misunderstand me. 1-click is a patent and trademark belonging to Amazon that lets you buy stuff with just one click because in essence you already logged in and you turned it on. Technically it's about as unadvanced as you can get, but they have a software patent on it, and Apple pay them for it so that the iTunes store can sell things with a single click.
Really AI should be ashamed of itself! This is not a broad patent at all and in fact is rather narrow. I do hope this post ends up first simply to make sure everybody realizes this article is completely bogus.
So I urge everyone to actually read the claims in the patent before responding to this article. The patent is good for Apple but it is by no means broad.
Just read the patent. It is *very* broad, it appears to basically grants a patent to any multitouch gesture for navigating in an app. That is, it grants a patent to the notion that multi-touch gestures interact with the UI as if they are touching a physical document.
If Apple does not license this, it may mean that the competition will need to re-invent their UIs to use a different metaphor. That would be HUGE.
I think that's just the trademark for the term "multitouch", not the patent on the technology itself (which on other sites was described as not being so far-reaching after all).
Gotcha. You're absolutely correct. The matching application dates for the patent and the trademark got me.
How did that "get you"? You just linked to the story (in another thread) a few minutes earlier!
Huh Ummm. . . for the same reason I said. I was confused by the matched filing dates. I then went back and corrected the post you mention in the other thread.
Go to 9to5Mac and you'll see I wasn't the only one initially confused.

More obvious than 1-click?

So Apple could potentially cripple the mobile industry?
No, because the person you were replying from completely misinterpreted the patent. Reading the first few lines of a claim is never enough

I did!
"Apple has been denied the multi-touch trademark by Patent Office"
I can see how that would be difficult for you to understand.
Perhaps you should consider spending some of your time educating and correcting the anonymous numnuts over at 9to5Mac?

Congratulations, piot, on your achievement.
Wow, you do all band together, don't you?
