PEACE???

Not one word of peace while Jobs rules the roost!!!!

Oh wait...

SOny et all must go thermonuclear on Apple. They used 'stolen' material.

Sony patented the triangle long before Apple did.

Apple is very good at suppressing its bad news. If it were Samsung or the like, you will find it splattered all over Google News and the like.

Apple's solutions are quadrangle based - so they're more complex and financially less competitive, but it suits the needs of top quality oriented customers better, as proven with independent research studies. I guess, they should patent the flat design of mobile phone too.

I would recomment them to patent the option that you can make a phone-call with it too;-)

"Apple's solutions are quadrangle based" = ValeriaT

With rounded corners, which makes it an Earth Shattering innovation. Nobody had thought of rounding corners of a quadrangle before.

But Apple is of course infringing on the Sony triangle patent because of the triangular relationship between producer, product, and consumer. Apple's use of three sides of Sony's triangle is the infringement.

Now if Apple had a middleman between itself and the consumer then it would again be quadrangle based.

But as I see it, every Ipad, Ipod, and everything else Apple sells through it's iStores are infringing on the Sony triangle patent.
