I read in The Times this morning that Apple has filed for a patent for the idea of using output from the rear camera on the phone to be used as the background to things like text messaging so those annoying sods who stumble around staring at their phones the whole time don't get run over.
Apparently, one 'app' has already been doing this since 2009.
I object to this on two levels. Firstly, those who get in the way because they are more interested in their phone than navigating around objects (including me) deserve to get run over. Secondly, just how ABSURD is the (US) patents system that you can patent ideas like that? How does this possibly benefit the consumer?
I do wish people would see Apple for what it is.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

Does it also pipe the ambient sounds through the ear buds instead of music so they can hear the car coming?

Depends on whether they can patent that.

One worst example so far are probably the sunshines from King who patented "Candy".

Filmmaker Lauris Beinerts beautifully captures what it's like to be an expert in a technical field during a "big picture" business meeting. This short film is based on the Russian short story, "The Meeting", by writer Alexei Berezin.
Anyone understand this story?

I'm sure the people who watched the video referenced in this[^] thread might have a better idea.

 So what is your analysis about it?

Actually,you can draw 7 perpendicular lines assuming you have access in hyperspace. If you move the picture away from you quickly enough the blue lines will appear red.
