Steve Jobs was certainly loved by the HN crowd if this gets a positive reaction.
- shashashasha 15y agoI might be wrong about this but I think the people of HN (and people in general?) have better opinions of hardware patents than software patents.
- yonran 15y agoBesides, almost all of these patents seem to protect the ornamental design rather than the utility. Most people here don't object to patenting the design of cases and the like.
- sukuriant 15y agoThough I'm now beginning to wonder. Could someone copyright the design of cases and sue for copyright infringement/plagiarism? Or would that open up an even worse can of worms?
- pygy_ 15y agoThat's exactly what's happening between Apple and Samsung in Europe and elsewhere, right now. Apple complains that the Galaxy tablet is physically too similar to the iPad.
- shinratdr 15y agoWell, also, out of 30 stories on the HN frontpage, all 30 are about Steve Jobs. That's a pretty good indicator too.
- yannis 15y agoYes! We all loved him!

- bgarbiak 15y agoThis is just 'the most accurate you can get' list of things Jobs invented or co-invented... No need to start another patent dispute over it.
