At first I laughed when I read that, but then I felt angry, how dare they patent simple shapes?

Hold on guys, be fair to Apple.

It is not just a patent for rectangles, they have discovered rounded rectangles which is a break through advancement in shapes you know. I dread to think how much R&D went into this.

Wow how on earth did that get passed?

I thought patents were to protect profitable "ORIGINAL" ideas:(

The English language will become interesting when they patent the letter I before a word.

Sorry nteresting wouldn't want to pay royalties 'm too cheap for that
