No, he's right. You are stupid for asking him to prove a statement in which he specifically said "probably". Additionally, you're stupid for saying "prove it" in the first place considering it's just about guaranteed a 100% chance that Apple's engineers have been thinking about this for a longer period of time than it took him to write that comment.

So if you're going to be a little bitch about this, why don't you prove him wrong? Go ahead. Do it. We'd all love to see you do it.]]>Jan 24th 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/apple-patent-application-two-fer-new-gesture-inputs-solar-powe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/apple-patent-application-two-fer-new-gesture-inputs-solar-powe/Jan 24th 2010 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/apple-patent-application-two-fer-new-gesture-inputs-solar-powe/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/apple-patent-application-two-fer-new-gesture-inputs-solar-powe/

Not that I think 2 years is a right time for many patents, but I certainly think there should be some such limitation, and many more, to help the people rather than bastards patent trolls and rich guys with cheap cheap low-life tactics. (like patenting stupid obvious stuff to mess with the competition and halt advancement of society in general to protect profit margins.)
