Apple Wants Patent On Video Game-Based iBooks

Posted by Soulskill on from the making-your-own-stories dept.

theodp writes "Patently Apple reports that a new Apple patent application has surfaced describing an application that would record your personal journey through a video game and turn it into a custom comic or iBook when you're done playing. Imagine how thrilled little Billy's Mommy would have been if she only had the chance to read the story of her son's foray into Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas or see how he dealt with BioShock's Little Sisters."

      I have hated people who think they though about something before everyone else, even when it has obviously been done multiple time.

      Those people have a stupidly high elitist ego.

      I can't tell if you're referring to Apple or the grandparent poster when you say that.

    The fact that you didn't all-caps Apple in your little shitpost there is pretty telling about how far up Jobs' ass you are. Can't even bring yourself to mar Apple's name while mocking someone else. Sad. Very sad.
