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).

They don't care about patents (don't care about copyrights either) and the governments of China, Japan and Korea choose Linux. So I guess we'll see a lot of innovation coming from them.
Explain. I do agree that the U.S. patent system are out of hand, but your argument suggest only that we'll see a lot of stolen ideas incorporated into Linux by Asian nations, not 'innovation'.
