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).

(providing this is the same Trollaxor of /. and K5 fame) is a convicted BSD fan. I never knew he's a MacSlash editor, but let me tell you one thing I definitely know about this guy... he'll make a damn good journalist.
His articles almost always provoke in-depth discussion, be it "trolling" as some might label it... but as a whole, discussions are always a good thing, provided something positive comes out of it.
In this case, this particular article attracted Eugenia's attention and manage to provoke her enough to come out with a full-blown rebuttal, with insights from "the other side of the fence". More discussion follows... and to me, more exposure, thus more good things.
