I hope they aren't infringing on any patents this time!

  Rounded Corners: ✔ Rectangular Screen: ✔ Black Bezel: ✔ ---------------------- Prior Art: (does not apply) ---------------------- Infringement: ✔ (*it's not the rounder-corners that gets you, it's the combination of that with the additional "dress")

    Really ? I expected the incredibly dumb "Apple patented round corners" meme from somewhere like Engadget not HN.

      It's getting pretty prevalent here too, unfortunately...

      The fun part only happens if they get in trouble for those specific attributes. That honestly wouldn't surprise me.

      What can you do. In a court case as convoluted as Samsung V. Apple, you just have to expect these kinds of things to rub off on the populace. If the user doesn't understand the case itself, they're going to go off with their gut on whatever bias they pick up from external news sources, which means more and more people will inevitably perpetuate the "apple patented pinching and rectangles" meme. Hacker News isn't impregnable.
