Kill our patent system already. I'm not saying nothing should exist to protect IP, but this outdated system needs to go.

Apple brought that on themselves. I find it amusing to read about apple products being banned after they had/tried to do that to other companies.

It ain't only Apple. It's a revolving door with Microsoft, Google, and Apple, with the little guy being unable to even enter the market. Heck, look at poor Samsung...

It isn't the patent system it is the misuse of the system by predators such as SCO and these guys looking for a quick buck.

Not when the people who are lobbying for change are the very people who benefit from it mostly. What really needs to happen is as a society we stop being sheep and start thinking for ourselves.
