Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS

siliconbits noted an interesting little tale of a recently surfaced Apple Patent covering an iMac Touch with a flex base that switches from iOS to OS X based on orientation. There's some interesting food for thought in there ... I can't decide if I like the idea or not.

Incoming sockpuppet troll odies/sopssa/SquarePixel

[Anonymous Coward]

Which sockpuppet will be used to troll this thread?

Remember it moderators, odies = sopssa = SquarePixel, three sockpuppets, one stupid troll! His posts are simple: repeat ad nauseam what the article posted, add a few 'Captain Obvious' style facts and then add his anti Linux/Google/Apple/USA innuendo. Or it's a simple China or MS apologist post that turns into a straw man, and you guessed it, it's against Linux/Google/Apple/USA.

Peace out!

iOS is on their every other line of devices and the walled garden apps economy is a significant money maker for Apple.

Stop lying. App Store makes very little money for Apple. sopssa, I don't recall how many times you have to be reminded that Apple expects App Store to barely be even, profit wise. That's not where they make their money. But I guess getting first post and trolling is more important that checking facts.

Keep on trolling boyo!

Ahhh ... the irony!

"Steve Jobs isn't stupid"

this is the same guy that got fired from his own company, and tried to tell us we were not holding it right, are you sure about that statement?

FUCK APPLE AND FUCK APPLE'S BITCHBOY

Slashdot, you're so fucking pathetic now and you don't even know it. How the fuck does this story make it to the main page? This is fanboy jabber, not news for nerds or stuff that matters. How about running a story about housing sales in the U.S. down 27%, a 15-year low? That shit that fucking matters.

Seems like every time Steve Jobs farts there is a Slashdot story detailing how stinky it was and what it smells like.

I've never seen any of the sockpuppets you mention post, but I see your retard drivel here every day. I think you're the troll.

If you say "troll", you get modded troll. Wait a sec . . . nooooooo . . . D:

Anywho, back on topic, I'll be damned if I let iOS touch my pretty computers. I like Mac computers (not computer wannabees. I'm looking at you, iPad), and I like OS X. Call me a fan boy all you want, though I personally don't give a damn for Apple itself or their fashion shiny-of-the-year devices.

I didn't have a 3gs, but an old-school 3g.

I know, but the 3gs is still on sale, and for half the price of the cheapest iPhone4. And without the attenuation issues :)

There's no doubt in my mind this iPhone gets the best cellular reception yet, even though measured signal is lower than the 3GS.
