More than patience, he's the one that sought out this discussion. He messaged me, not I him. As for me, I am getting to where I don't see the point of arguing with people who keep asking me if i'm of the body of Landru.

And for your information, Apple's patents you so blithely want to dismiss were upheld by the US Patent Office in 2013. . . and the reason why Samsung is so desperate to appeal the verdict and have it set aside is that if it goes against them, Apple can force Samsung and all Android makers to stop using capacitance touch screens and go back to resistance touch screens which are no where nearly as accurate or use Windows as a system on their phones.

I follow the same methodology I have always followed. I look through the threads until I see something of interest, I then look through that thread until I see an interesting message. I thought FredZarguna's message was particularly funny, and I commented on it.

Next thing I know, you are trying to talk me out of something which seems very evident to me, and I think others; That the tablet computer didn't spring fully formed, out of the brow of Apple-o. (Yes, I know it's Zeus, but I thought a terrible pun was appropriate. :) )

Whether they won a lawsuit or not, it appears to me that Apple taking credit for the idea of a tablet computer is like the rooster taking credit for the sunrise. I wonder if the Kubrick estate is getting royalties?

Given the number of examples where you said Apple invented this or that, and then I looked it up and found out it wasn't true, I would say the Pot is calling the Kettle black. :)
