Hmmm, while I think that patenting ideas is ridiculous and that the U.S. patent system is at best broken, I find it funny that this raises Jason's ire, but he wasn't particularly concerned about Nokia suing Apple, Apple suing Nokia, Kodak suing Apple and others recently (and countless others going back the past few years). Everyone's been suing everybody pretty much, but in this case Jobs is in a childish rage because his target is über-gizmo manufacturer HTC? I highly doubt that emotion played any role at all. Rather I think this was a cold, calculated business decision.
