Apple is not the new Microsoft, there is a critical difference: people like using apple products. This means that people will potentialy overlook a lot more

Interesting blog entry by ex-CEO Schwartz, apparently Apple is no
stranger to legal threats:

Which is yet another pointer that Apple is the new Microsoft.

Side note - you can't patent algorithms, only implementations of
algorithms.

And how about this pathetic patent:
http://www.google.com/patents?id=Szh4AAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom= ...

I'd say a linked list is very much an algorithm and no implementation
is mentioned anywhere. Of course, the bulk of us would like to slap
those patent guys with some of Knuth's thickest books!
