I'm getting so sick of hearing about Apple and patents...

Here's an innovative idea; why don't they take the money they spend on lawyers and reinvest in in their products to make them actually in the price range of comparable products? Then they wouldn't have to worry about cornering the market from a patent perspective.

I still don't get how my wife's $1500 Macbook Pro is twice as good as my $750 laptop (with much much better specs)...

Boogles my mind.

I think I'm going to patent my butt. "A rounded muscle protrusion from the back of the hips, aiding ambulatory movement and locomotion as well as padding the body while seated." Then I'm gonna sue EVERY patent lawyer EVERYWHERE for patent violation as they sit on my patented idea and contribute NOTHING to society.

Sometime is not about spec we care but the OS and durability.
