Couldn't help but share this article!! OMG!!
Patenting features, patenting devices, or even ideas is another thing, but this...??
You’ve read about the patent infringement claims, you’ve heard about the court wins and losses, and you’re probably pretty fed up with hearing the words “Apple” and “patent” used in the same sentence. We’ve always joked about Apple pretty much thinking they own the rights to anything square or rectangular shaped, as any product that has the potential to sell well is always accused by Apple of resembling an iPad. Well ladies and gentlemen, you’re not going to believe this, but the Cupertino company has just been granted a patent that might make take the funny out of those jokes: Apple has successfully patented a rectangle with rounded corners. I wish I could say this was a joke.

I am not really surprised. Patents can be filled for pretty much everything common.
For instance (although it does not applied to handheld devices) — Method of swinging on a swing

Software and hardware are two completely different things. A g2x with a "skinned" version of cm7 looks different than a stock one, but its still a g2x.

Are you scared? Why do you refer it to be "Canadian" takeover? Kinda rude and ignorant comment, Should just refer it by the model #? like p999? Think there are currently 2 relatively small carriers that have the p999.Wind Mobile and Videotron, same one as the t-mobile p999. Rogers may carry the p990.
What do you mean skinned like o2x? Do you mean is the hardware the p990?
As a Canadian I vote we ban laker for being an ass clown.

I've heard they were going to put out this magazine before, and to me, its pretty much a joke of a magazine.
Let me give you an excerpt from the first page which made me laugh:
"In a world full of roadblocks, rules and lame limitations, Droid has none. It empowers you to do life on your terms, in your own time."
I'm sure you are all laughing right now.
Lets see, Droid has no limitations..... I'm assuming they aren't including forced bloatware and forced custom UI's? Right....
"It empowers you to do life on your terms..."
Obviously except for not being able to remove apps you don't want on your phone, or to choose to have a pure Android experience without Motoblurcrap or Sense or any other (I don't really mind Sense, but it's the principle!)
Other than that, the magazine is just trying to sell you accessories and phones. [/QUOTE]
The only reason it was mailed out.
Doc
It was a complete joke and nothing at all like what they were trying to promote before it came out. Marketing bull.
Truly scary would be a magazine titled "BlackBerry!" Can you imagine the sorry crap an issue of that would contain?!
Magazines still exist? Damn.

I can't believe this was even awarded to Apple as a patent. Doing a search on your mobile device is an obvious, why would the patent office ever grant it?
People should write letters to the patent office and ask that the office be investigated. They seem to be granting patents left and right to Apple.

While I don't think it's some vast conspiracy, I do admit some of the patents they've handing out recently to Apple are ridiculous. Universal search and now the vanishing scroll bar...those are both just stupid. They should be considered universal items across platforms and software. Just more patent trolling fodder for Apple.

Guaranteed you can give any one of those people a GS2 and tell them it's a GS3 and get the same type of responses. Sure it's funny because it's an iPhone but there are stupid android users too. I can point out more than a handful that post on XDA, that's for sure.

Yeah an iPhone user wouldn't know the difference between a GS II and III, but I think that a GS II user would.

When you say "android users" you are grouping everyone together and it doesn't work that way. Same thing with "iphone users". There are moronic iPhone users and Android users alike, which is the point I was making earlier. I would bet my week's paycheck that the people in Jimmy Kimmel's video were the exception and not the rule when it comes to falling for that prank. Of course they aren't going to show the people who knew it was a 4S because that wouldn't be funny.
