The patent system needs restructuring so we don't have to read about obvious or logical patents anymore. ]]>Oct 25th 2007 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/apple-envisions-tactility-on-touchscreen-keyboards/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/25/apple-envisions-tactility-on-touchscreen-keyboards/
