...and Italians invented spaghetti carbonara :p :
Companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, Nokia, IBM, and dozens of others have done nothing but capitalize on two “inventions”, without which just about all their products would have not been possible:
The microprocessor, invited by (arguably) Intel, and;
The theory of Quantum Mechanics, “invented” over the last few decades by a host of mathematicians and scientists.
Well of course Apple and most other mobile smart phone manufacturers rely on the invention of low power consumption CPUs, first invented by Acorn Computers in the UK.
The point of the clip seemed to be made about Apple's paranoid attitude towards competition and some of the seemingly ridiculous suits they've started. You can't start suing other companies for building devices with round shaped corners or leaving holes in the bagels. They behave like they invented hot water. You say they innovate. Alright, but they do seem to behave as if they invented all this stuff, don't they?
Big Ben, i agree with you. Just look at TV's they all look the same. A rectangular screen with a black frame.
But do they sue each other? Do car manufacturers sue each other when they loan some design futures from each other?
The answer is no they don't.
I also have no faith in the USA courts that will decide in the matter.
Apple have several times been caught with using fabricated evidences,
mainly consisting of images that have been photoshopped by Apple to support their case.
Who says I don't like Apple? I just didn't raise them to the cult status others have. I like some Apple products (all in all I'm pretty satisfied with my iPhone even if it's berfore yesterday's news) but I still find this tactics pathetic.

So it seems Apple copied a product from 1994 when they made their Ipad.
The current patent tit for tit isn't helping anyone and is stifling innovation.
