    Things are popping up all over the place. This whole verdict will get thrown out almost certainly.

    Steve Jobs response about the party for DiamondTouch technology he basically ripped for iPhone:
    "The Wired Magazine reception is not only a great party, but also a showcase for new and entertaining technology. This year there was a live demo of Mitsutishi Research Labs "DiamondTouch" technology. Simply put, a multi-user touch pad or screen that let's a group of people control an application. In this case, we were playing wonderful new computer games.

    Here's more information about the technology from the Mitsubishi web site. The video is worth a 1000 words.

    -Steve"

    from the Mitsubishi engineer and Steve Jobs:

    "Mr. Adam Bogue who is a Mitsubishi engineer said he demoed a piece of hardware called Diamond Touch to Apple engineers in 2003 which allowed users to shrink and expand images by grabbing and dragging their virtual corners. In essence, this is pinch-to-zoom as we know it today."

    I guess this is what Apple means when they say they invented it. /s

    and of course tap the zoom stuff and sliding screens and UI Apple claims they invented.

    And all of this was just skipped because it "bogged the jury down" in giving a win to Apple??

    and of course mandatory

    The balls to claim you invented something you so blatantly ripped off

    • I had been arguing similar things in the last couple pages. They over-reach their claims of invention.ETM
