You can bet no one will be able copy them.

He tried to make fun of it (and really, "patterned"?), but yet, others have used this type of screw before. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tri-Wing):
Kyocera uses Tri-Wing screws on their phones.
Nintendo uses Tri-Wing screws in its Game Boy, DS, DS Lite, GameCube, and Wii products.
Sanyo uses them in its cell phones.
Nokia formerly used them in some older phones and chargers.
Fujifilm used them in some of their digital cameras.
Sony uses them in one of the panels on the bottom of the laptop model VGNS380P and in some of their PDAs.
Telecom New Zealand uses them on household external junction boxes.
Microdrives (Type II CompactFlash Cards) often use them.
Panasonic uses them in some of its cell phones.
Microsoft uses them on the backside of the Zune HD.

And my favorite:
Apple Inc. uses them on their older wireless keyboards and for securing the battery to the case in their entire MacBook Pro line of laptops, beginning June 2009.

When he believed that MS was inventing a new screw type, it is grounds to mock them. But now he will say MS is copying, correct?]]>Sep 26th 2009 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/
Haha I've never heard anyone say that before. I just call em the Nintendo screws if anything because I've had a Nintendo handheld in my pocket since I could walk.]]>Sep 26th 2009 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/

Before acting like a troll, did you consider that perhaps he was talking about the fact the screws were also painted with the design? The ones in the picture aren't. I don't know what the Atomic Zune acutally looks like, but it sure sounded like that is what he was talking about.]]>Sep 27th 2009 12:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/
I don't think Noh0ne's being a troll, but with the recent Microsoft articles continuing to be shat upon by Apple fanboys (and vice-versa if that comment offends you), it's really hard to see who's being specific in their comments.

Just a misunderstanding, not trolling.]]>Sep 27th 2009 1:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/

As for this comment of his, the first line there was nothing wrong with it. The second line, however, shows what he was getting at. I believe he was trying to write patent rather than patterned, which was him taking his usual jab at Microsoft implying that the only innovation is the screws they used to bolt the HD together. I was trying to show that the screws were not some special innovation by MS, but something that other companies have used, including Apple. If his reply was then that MS copied Apple, then I was going to write that others have used the same screws before Apple.

Oh, and kharnellius, I have been called both a MS fanboy troll and an Apple fanboy troll. I am trying to call somebody out for their trolling.]]>Sep 27th 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/26/atomic-zune-hd-explodes-all-over-ebay/P.s.

His auction has a question

"Q: where did oyu get that design on the zune?
A: i dont know because it just a gift from my friend."

But his feedback is selling nothing but Zunes, new but unboxed.
