Accepting the above at face value, the validity of the cal tech patents have not be adjudicated. The US and Cal Tech argument is purely procedural and not substantive. 

I, for one, don't want patents to exist which violate basic patent law concepts such as prior art. 

until it is at least announced it's best not to have an opinion. Same with Project Titan. Rumors are just that -- rumors.

I certainly hope 24” iMac is coming. My 2017 24” iMac is long in the tooth, and is significantly slower than my m1 MacBook Air. What’s my iMacs trade-in value? $75. 

Since Reagan, the super greedy c-suite have been outsourcing product creation to other countries. The last I heard, the US cannot produce clothes, silverware, chips, hospital fluid bags, most critical care cart drugs, many vaccines. The whole c-suite logic was to transform US companies into shell corporations solely for the c-suite suits to pocket all the money earned. They buy yachts, mansions and politicians. 

The US has lost 2 generations of productive workers while blaming China and other "eastern" countries of "taking our jobs". 

No, China and the other countries of doing the work Americans can no longer do. We no longer even have older workers who can mentor younger workers. And it's the US's fault -- no one else is to blame. The government didn't control the Corporations and let them rape the taxpayers for the c-suite sole benefit, leaving the US with little in the way of productive capacity. We've got a lot people getting rich off of money manipulation, but few doing anything useful. 

There's no quick fix for this collapse. The US doesn't have the infrastructure to rebuild.

The Harvard paper is a worthwhile read for background but I gagged when it mentioned focusing “white” light — which doesn’t exist — white is not a light frequency.
