It is when I read articles like this that I have "my blood all going up to my head" (that's a Greek saying for people that get angry). So apparently, Apple is trying to patent "transparent windows that do a certain action after fading away". While I don't personally find this "innovation/invention" patentable, it's fine with me: Apple is doing the best it can to secure its business (maybe I would do the same if I had shareholders on my back).

I don't blame Apple for trying to get as many patents as possible. It is inevitable in the current patent rat race. I wish that companies like Microsoft and IBM would understand that the current situation is hurting the entire software industry and that they would ask the US congress to reform the current patent process and lobby in Brussels to stop damaging new patent proposals.
