Apple's 3D Desktop Patent Filing Examined

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.

Not that I use Apple products, but it'd be a huge mistake for those faggot punk bitches to do away with buttons. We all remember the "no-button mouse".

Fortunately, Steve Jobs is dying of AIDS and cancer so the company is waiting quietly for him to croak(just as the population of Cuba is waiting for Fidel to croak) so that they can make smart decisions such as Make available OSX for all hardware platforms, put more buttons on their shit, fire all of their homosexual industrial designers, and extend multi-fingered gestures to more than just simulations of gay sex.

Using finger gestures for zooming in on a picture of a man's asshole or cock'n'balls is a hot trend on the gay scene, but the anti-Jobs coup brewing within Apple sees a huge market in heterosexual male users.

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!
