article.. *shiver* thats some scary stuff
no springloaded folders, no trash, no iTunes clone, no config option
for "Close, Expand, Hide" buttons, and even no 'fruit in the left top
corner' of a menu bar.. Hell even a cron w/ gui.

Cheeri,
Calum.
I talked with alex l. on irc yesterday about those, and it appears that
most of those are design patents. Basically they cover apple's design of
the trash can, window border buttons and itunes etc. Why they need a
patent as oppose to just copyright perplexes me.
