so now wait a sec, let me just get this straight... but apple has a patent on translucent material? and they have a patent on making a computer all-in-one?? that just doesn't make sense to me, first of all i would never buy any of that all in one crap, but for those who want to, how is it that apple can have a patent on somthign like that... so they are saying that pc manufactures have to buy the rights from apple to make a case that holds a monitor and all the other guts? if so then there is a serious problem with patents and copyrights.
