Apple Files 'Transparent Texting' Patent To Make Texting While Walking Safer, But Are They Too Late To The Game? - International Digital Times


this has been on android for 2 yrs... and there are even apps on ios iTunes doing this already!

it just so frustrating to me.. that they get away with this!!!

Crazy isnt it
It doesnt bother me tbh. Let them play their silly games

they will get the patent.. and sue the originals developers to pay them royalties or shut down.
and the isheep will say.. "see, that proves apple invented it first.. so stop hating"

Yet android will still be better to the intelligent peeps. Apple cant do anything to defeat that.
The transparent texting thing is a gimmick anyway. Think i tried it once then uninstalled. If isheep want to think thats innovation then let them.
Ignorance is bliss

The question you should ask is why the US patent office doesn't throw this type of stuff straight out? The societal cost of funding a patent office to check properly and enforce the rules, as opposed to rubber stamping any old garbage and letting the courts sort it out, would be an easy win.

Saw that on the news. Still doesn't stop me from walking into folks texting on their iPhones.

It's not safer. You're not focusing on the path in front of you anyway, but rather on what you're typing. It's a crazy stupid gimmick.

Agree. In order for it to "work" you'd have to hold the phone vertically in front of your face.

Most people I see walking and texting have the phones camera pointed straight down, not ahead.

Its available on the ROM I'm using, but don't find it helpful.
