i don't know who has the patent on touch screen technology - whoever did deserves a patent.

before you get a fucking patent you should have to produce a working demo of it not just let idiots write down some idea in their head with some technical illustrations.
I agree, you shouldn't be able to patent common sense things. "I"m gonna patent the use of buttons for radios".

It's just like the Acacia lawsuits. They have a patent for "the delivery compressed video files via the Internet". Their patent is so fucking vague it sounds like they are trying to transport musical instruments through time and space to another location.
