Just thought people may like to know that apple now has this:
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/16/apple-now-owns-the-page-turn/?smid=tw-nytimesbits&seid=auto
So get riid of all your books or Apple might sue you.
*sigh*..... I'm not even surprised. I've heard so much bullshit like this just fromTekSyndicate, that i hardly even reacted to this haha. How the hell are OS's supposed to handle page turning now? Instantly switch pages or something?
Well Barnes and Noble and Amazon both have a page turn animation in their tablet readers, and apps, and have had them for years, broken fucking system.
WTF...this is just getting worse and worse...how can you patent an animation of a real life thing...
This is like creating a walking animation in a game, and then putting a patent on a walking animation...seriously WTF
I want to put a patent on putting patents. -Apple in the near future
Haven't other companies already patented this? Look at this patent by microsoft in 2009: http://www.google.com.au/patents/EP2374053A2?cl=en&dq=page+turn&ei=LUmvUMLQMYTnmAXx_oDYAw
Well, this is going to end up on The Tek 0035
If you really want a laugh just go to Patent search

They patent everything, regardless if they invented it or not.
What's next with Apple? The pass gas sound to be patented?
I just lost all hope in the human race.... *Facepalm*
Oh god, oh god.
