Apple sucks and the notion that you can patent rectangles with rounded edges is patently ridiculous.

Absolutely correct.
Whatever this silly Apple-buttkissing article says, the samsung-apple fight is FAR from over.
Google “apple samsung verdict” and see for yourself.
I live for the day Apple gets their well-deserved smackdown from the US courts.
“Apple sucks and the notion that you can patent rectangles with rounded edges is patently ridiculous.”
You view it as ridiculous. Yours is an opinion. The Patent Office viewed it as law.
Well, you can at least read a Samsung press release pretty well. The jury, on the other hand, actually looked at the facts which included emails from Samsung executives scrapping their existing designs and intentionally copying Apple's.
Samsung certainly doesn't think Apple sucks -- after all, they're the ones copying them lock, stock, and barrel and claiming in court that Apple's design is the only workable design out there.
But as for the argument that Apple's designs are non-patentable because they're the only way of doing things, Microsoft, of all companies, proves that false with their phone designs. Note, however, that Microsoft did license Apple's patented technologies that they used, while Samsung refuses to do so.
However, to see the other side of the story, Samsung defends itself from charges of copying Apple.
