Why isn't Bill Buxton suing Apple for a billion dollars?

  Perhaps he has class.

    True, but the schadenfreude in me secretly hopes he sues the bejeezus out of Apple and then donates all the money to people who need to defend themselves against Apple's patent trolling. Apple, more than any other company, not only exhibits but flaunts the "long-nose of innovation" in everything they say or do. They need a healthy dose of reality. I think the best illustrative art they could have used in the trial is to hand everyone a rubber band and asked them to make it larger using one hand. I bet you 99% of them would place the band between their index finger and thumb or thumb and all four fingers. They are the two most obvious solutions for any creature with an opposable thumb.
