"Apple did not invent designs for the iPad but just nicked ideas which had been kicking around the technology industry for a decade. According to Samsung evidence, which is being presented in the patent trial, Apple’s IP is invalid. Samsung already argued that Apple’s pinch-to-zoom patent was stolen from Mitsubishi’s old Diamond Touch and yesterday it showed the jury with videotaped testimony from Roger Fidler.

"Apple started selling its new iPad at stores Friday, and the launch drew long lines around the world. Post reporter Sarah Halzack tries to make sense of why people keep flocking to Apple stores on the first day of a product launch even though there are other ways to get the Apple item..."

"Some people treat "PC" as a kind of country club, keeping membership in the group narrow and therefore constraining the definition of a PC. Others would go so far as to say that anything that does real computing, is personal, and is powered by a central processing unit is a PC. And then there's a whole lot of us in between.

While Playboy does have an app in the App Store, that doesn't offer anything near the content of the magazine.
