Apple's 3D Desktop Patent Filing Examined

Posted by timothy on from the tastiest-apples-have-three-dimensions dept.

phantomfive writes "The patent office has released some patent filings by Apple which indicate that the company is working on a 3D desktop of some sort. They call it a multi-dimensional desktop, according to the patent filing." There's also some commentary at ZDNet; both stories link to a detailed run-down at AppleInsider.

    This may not yield to a product. It is just a Patent. So if apple does come up with a 3D desktop no one else can sue them stating it is theirs.

    And anyone else who might come up with it in the event that Apple fails... is fucked, and by extension we all are (because the only one who can, is the one who didn't).

    Don't patent it till you have it, assholes!
