Apple Inc. Sued For $10 Billion By Florida Man Claiming To Have Invented iPhone, iPod and iPad
 

Apple is the biggest company in the world and with that comes its own set of problems. For example, generating over $50 billion in revenue in a single quarter is seen as a disappointment on Wall Street. It also means that you become a target for lawsuits of all kinds ? both serious and spurious. While a court is yet to rule on it, a Florida man claiming $10 billion because he essentially invented the iPhone, iPod and iPad likely falls into the latter category.

Florida resident Thomas S. Ross filed a lawsuit against Apple this week claiming that a series of three drawings he made between 1992 and 1995 of an "electronic reading device" proves he came up with the ideas that would, 15 years later, see Apple launch the iPhone, iPod touch and the iPad.

The device outlined in the three hand drawn schematics includes dual rectangular panels with a touchscreen, cellular connectivity, internal and external storage and photo and video browsing ? all things which would eventually be incorporated into smartphones.

Yeah and i invented a time travel and teleportation machines.

Just need to wait a bit and become very rich by suing someone.

I don't know who this 'Florida Man' is, but he's very busy.

So this is where LPINK disappeared to..

I invented those in 1974.

My lawyers will be in touch.

If this had any chance of winning, wouldn't Gene Roddenberry be the greatest, and richest, inventor ever?

I invented suing apple. He will be hearing from my lawyers

if it goes through, he's one lucky asshole.

The chances of this going through are about the same chances of 99% of gfyers making more than chump change every month

i hear suing business is boomming.
if you see some recent multimillioners, theres a trend, either they sued or divorced miltibillionair

Such bullshit! This dude just had a good case and thought he'd make money fuck
