That'd mean the coffee tables, dining room table and kitchen table in my house violate Apple patents FFS. That's absurd.

Are your tables being sold as competing tablet computers? No? Then they can't infringe on the design patents. Your statement is absurd, not the patents.

I'm going to Comp-USA first thing tomorrow morning and buying a Samsung Windows Tablet before they get pulled off the market because of this.

Samsung Windows tablets aren't likely to infringe since Windows doesn't mimic iOS like Android does. Just remember, before the iPhone, Android phone prototypes looked and acted like Blackberrys. After the iPhone, they looked and acted like iPhones. It's pretty simple.

Using absurdity to demonstrate absurdity is apparently lost on some, or I didn't pull it off very well. In either case, my view is the "patents" are absurd. It doesn't matter if it's curved glass or curved wood. Patenting a "shape" of a material for a function is absurd. I'm going to run right out and patent the same shape on every form of metal and acrylic I can find, then charge for their use in another product. It's the same thing.

Wish I had seen this before I ran out and actually bought one, LOL! Ahh well, it's a great device and I'm liking it already (posted this reply with it.)
