One of the most useful skills for an artist (or, for that matter, any creative person) is the ability to interpret and re-purpose works created before.
I'm glad you're smart enough to dismiss your observations of a video sent from thousands of miles away as wishful thinking- there are millions that look at that and see God.
This looks to me like it's going to be a design patent when it's approved (you can tell these at a glance by the prefix D on the number,) which is a very specific sort of patent and very different from what you may normally think of in terms of patents.
A design patent protects a particular aesthetic or functional design, not any process or underlying technology.
So, it's quite reasonable that Apple would get a design patent, I'm sure they have a great many of them already. Design patents are also not particularly strong- all you have to do to get around it is make a significant alteration and you're generally all right.
Only sabre fencing is being shown on US TV, to the exclusion of foil and epee.
The reason for this is that the strongest US medal contenders in fencing are sabre fencers.
This is great for people who want to paint their face with the stars and stripes and chant USA USA, but not very good for fencers (who, I think, this is sort of geared toward.)
Seeing this made me want to go and, I don't know, send off a few of the billions of dumb things I made in Rhino (improved GBA gullwings with a link cable AND a GC cable AND headphones AND extended battery built in...) off to a prototype shop.
Thing is, that polymer's fuckin' expensive. I'd spend more on the item than I would buying a couple of new GBA SPs to mangle with a dremel tool.

If people didn't buy overpowered machines, then I wouldn't be able to get a computer capable of running the CAD stuff I need for as cheap as I get it.
Go on, keep buying 3ghz machines for word processing- I love you for it and you are doing a service for humanity.
Because a guitar strum is a sample, too.

You butt out of my work.

It's the users not upgrading the routers that is the problem. I have one myself and it's upgraded- and not hammering those NTP servers.
The models take days to render in an animation. Regardless of how good Doom3 looks, the LOTR models will not fit.
Engines? The engine is Maya.
Both forms of expression can be cured with Prozac.
It would be robocool to fill the list up with random names. Like George Bush's father. And the governors of all 50 states.

I've always suspected that such extremists are opposition catspaws anyway.
Oh no! Who will flip you back over! Not I!

Did you know that "standing army" and "bear arms" have very specific meanings under longstanding European legal concepts?
Who do you think pays for wiretapping, already? Magical fairies?

at least the money comes up front... Not as if you aren't paying already.
...it's a taskbar with three buttons that fill up, and once you fill the three buttons up it tells you to close a task to clear one of the slots.
It is totally not illegal. What do you call business class vs. residential class DSL?
pwnt I say.
it is metaphysical.
Can't you dunderheads read? Cripes.
The Hollywood elite is strongly Republican. Those who own the studios, that is. The actors' opinions are pretty much irrelevant.
...you are a man that has never known pain.
The lesson here is that the best solution in a situation like this is to close the goddamn port.

But it would still be GODDAMN elite.
Anyone who uses the term "cyber" as a prefix when they really mean "has something to do with the Internet" is well worth actively ignoring.
The world's first "Has Something To Do With the Internet Lawyer" is a lot more truthful, and also depicts accurately the stupidity of the phrasing.
I guess he wasn't "wreckless" after that.
