Apple Believes It Invented Wireless Charging, Patents Idea

Fuck apple, really. And fuck the US patent system.

It says Wipower applied for the wireless charging patent. Why is no one yelling at them about telsa and how electric toothbrushes had it first?

[citation][nom]kommenteer[/nom]I recently switch every Apple device I had out because I believe this behavior is unacceptable. Everyone else should do the same #capitalism.As an added bonus, my laptop was 1/3 the price and better than a Macbook, and my Liumia 920 kicks ass. Hiyo.[/citation]

Capitalism is why you complain about stupid technology and not where to get your next meal!

Think about it

Hrm yeah or the idea has been around since Nikolai Tesla, and the patent office better be damn specific that Apple's patent only applies to Apple devices.

Trying to patent wireless charging is akin to patenting ambient radiation. It should just not be allowed.
