- jaspersfather 15y agoThe idea of patenting it has roughly the same amount of hilarity.
- hahainternet 15y agoHe's mocking the triviality of the patent. Patents are supposed to protect an innovative new process or technology. Putting a button on a screen to activate a previously existing technology is just spending money to try and cripple competitors who accidentally infringe.
- dextorious 15y agoTrivial, I agree. But I don't know what is sadder: Apple patenting this, or the fact that very few (if any) phones did it before the iPhone...
- hahainternet 15y agoMany many phones did this sort of thing before Apple. What they have patented is to display a button for it.
