Apple granted patent on capacitive multitouch displays

Apple granted patent on capacitive multitouch displays -- Engadget.

FFS Apple.

The whole patent system really needs fixing at some point.

  • Yeh, it's pretty messed up. I can see the benefit of preventing people from freeloading on the ideas of others, but this shit just slows down innovation.

    Big companies just keep huge libraries of patents they might not even use, just so that hopefully they can do some patent horse-trading to keep from getting sued. It's a disaster.
