They obviously weren’t trying to patent an app.

What do they gain on Apple patenting the base idea for their application? What do they gain on having their screenshot in Apples patent?

And what is that “microogle” thing about? What’s up with “who have likely already ripped off this interface”? Can you prove that either Microsoft or Google are patenting or ripping off exactly everything they can think of?

Sure, M$ is a patent troll, but they don’t claim EVERYTHING they add to their software or hardware as their own inventions, no matter how old it is. Google don’t even do much at all with patents.

Also, why is it better for them that Apple patents it then anybody else?

Apple may use these patents to bog down the Mountain View warriors while the Cupertino Army attacks their flank with a full assault of such magnitude that the tech industry will be shaken to its core. Steve should go Roman on its arch-rival even if that includes burning down the entire town of Mountain View, CA. It must be done by the grace of God…Steve is on a mission and I suggest you kindly stay out of the way. Signs have been posted….Genius At Work. This ain’t Hollyweird this is REAL life unfolding in front of your very eyes. Enjoy it as this is the most fun you can have with your boots on, Mr. Jobs kicking a$$ and taking names !

Way to make a story out of nothing to draw hits to your site.

– of course, I don’t mean you Om, I mean the developers. Before posting in a blog, tweet or doing almost anything, the developers should contact Apple, get some clarification (or not) and go from there.

They did not attempt to patent “Where To” … the app is just running on the device. It’s the same as if you saw a patent application involving an iPod and it said “Telephone / Lady Gaga” on the screen, that would not mean Apple was attempting to patent the song “Telephone” or claim ownership of the song “Telephone”. iPhones run apps and iPods play music and patent application diagrams are supposed to show functioning devices.

CoughCough* Dan Wood’s “Watson” Cough

Now just waiting for Winer to come back to the thread and admit he was as completely wrong as one could imagine.
