This company has a website that sells nothing but licensing of their technology...... in which they don't use to make an actual product. Although I don't agree with companies like this...... karma is a bitch.

Da Rounded Corners - what else will they patent? A soft, brown object with rounded edges - a turd?

Speaking about something i dont know is normally not a good idea, but i decided to give my opinion about this even if noone really cares:

Apple has been working too hard to create a system where it would be the great big bully in the classroom.
Its good if they are sometimes reminded that they are not invincible, even if its not exactly fair.

@webbwbb: ARM DOES have a product. That product is not a piece of plastic and metal manufactured in China, but it is just a much a product as any other that you can buy. Their product includes a design, an architecture, documentation, and other components. If I had the $ and the interest, I could go to ARM and purchase a license for their designs and architecture, give that to a fab, and with very little other work start making ARM CPUs. There is a huge difference between that, and say a patent troll that patents a standardized wireless communications protocol that can be described on a single sheet of paper.
