Patents on "move your finger on this graphic to perform an action", widget animations, and OO event handlers? You're really going to defend those claims as legitimate innovations that Apple is justly upset over having had emulated? I mean, I really don't want this to devolve into a flamewar on software patents, but just because it's a patent claim doesn't make it any less of a "how dare they" reaction.

I specified "In the context of the lawsuit" quite particularly. I know that it's about patent claims, but it's about paper-thin patent claims which are transparently "how dare you" saber-rattling, not a legitimate defense of significant trade secrets.

The video you linked only makes the dichotomy more stark. Apple's attitude, based on historical observation, has been "Copying ideas and adding value is great...when we do it. If you try it from us, get ready for Lawyerfest 2010."
