Why isn't Samsung suing Apple about the iPad given that the iPad looks EXACTLY like their picture frame from 2006?
P.S. Thank the LACK of software patents during the early development time that we actually have the modern web and the innovation that followed. If you REALLY want to see who was the father of the modern software, check out the Dough Engelbart demo of the NLS system in 1968. He introduced the mouse, the modern UI with what you see is what you get support, hypertext, object addressing, dynamic file linking, shared-screen collaboration involving two persons at different sites communicating over a network with audio and video interface.
So in reality all of the "innovators" at Apple and other companies have just put a shiny exterior onto something from 1968.
