Guys, have you even looked at what the patent has to say before criticizing it. You should take a look at the stuff Apple patents... absolute arse.
Agreed, those who patent stuff just to sue for it later and have no plans to productize it are hurting innovation but again, how do you prevent copycats ? Is there a better system. People just go around copying each others ideas. Apple should pay for using a 2 button mouse maybe.
well considering that xerox had the mouse and apple took it as their own because xerox wouldn't touch it, I would say that companies should pay apple for using a mouse at all. Just makes sense with that logic...
"I'm looking to grab a new phone using a prepaid service. What's the best prepaid phone service in terms of overall price, phone selection and other bells / whistles. Thanks!"

Oh shut up. You know this is ridiculous.
Prevent copycats? you just answered your own question.
If the product you make is better, people with not buy something else.
People don't buy crap, they return it, and if the shop doesn't accept a return, you burn it down.
