Brian, I think your issue is with the patent office for granting the patent, not with Apple for defending its patent. Apple is obligated to defend its patents – if they don't the patents become invalid. And you can't honestly expect Apple (or any other company for that matter) not to try to patent every piece of technology it develops. That's part of technology development.hopefull copy dvd can solve itWhen a comment exceeds your ability to not pee your pants laughing, it sort of becomes…magical.That, and I have to delete and unistall/reinstall everytime I want to upload a picture…. >:(Of course, because top notch French researchers have no greater ambition than to work at Apple.
