Editorial 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).

The only way to fight back is to have control, and FOSS is not going in that direction, and proprietary software is definately not going in that direction. FOSS would have to focus on system implementation, empowering the developer, buy FOSS doesn't have any leadership.
