Why when I want to see an image in the USPTO page, it asks me for QT?

It's very annoying; they should use regular PDF or something like that...

Cheers!

No way Apple would launch a product with eight buttons, however they might just see the patent as a reason to gain income from companies actually making smart pens, like Livescribe and Logitech.

@jhansonxi I think the patent found at http://www.ipmenu.com/archive/AUI_2001100012.pdf will blow your mind. It was given to a Patent lawyer in 2001, who wanted to prove that the patent system was flawed... case proved... still no one seems to have done anything about it :-(

Or just freaking JPEG pics!! Anything except a dumb format that makes you install extra crap (especially apple crap) on your computer.

EVERYONE

you are missing the point.

when you move an ipad, and an ipod touch from vertical to horizontal the way things are displayed changes.

they got this patent for THIS FEATURE ALONE... nothing more.
