sweet if it worked the right way that would be pretty cool i think
Wow at first look it looked funny but after second thoughts it's looks disturbing! Can Apple really get copyrights for something that's already being used and developped by others?
I mean can Apple really go and put a copyright Jailbreaking and softwares that are available on jailbreak iphones?

Not really, Apple has used the image to illustrate a point in their patent for biometric security, they aren't copyrighting any of the stuff developed by others.
Could they be illustrating how a jailbroken iPhone would not function with these new security measures? I wish Apple would allow customizable themes. That would be one more reason for me not to jailbreak my phone. So far PdaNet is a big deal for me. I also really like Poof since I have no interest in stocks and already have my contacts under the phone app. Oh and I gotta have my game emulators.
By the way, Apple is already being sued for a couple thing including the camara. If they win, who knows what else they can get away with.
What do I think? I think some people are going to get a talking to from their manager.
**** you apple! and **** corporate (patent) america
Apple is a bunch of hypocrites.
I have to call this a fake as well since there is no link to where we can se this on the Patent's Office's website.
What theme is that?
Apple is losing itself and is KILLING its rep.
