Apple Patent Reveals Voice Recognition Technology Could be Coming to the iPhone

,----[ Quote ]
| As per the patent, one of key components is a hardware component 
| called "voice-to-command analyzer" which would determine whether the audio is 
| meaningless or represents an action request. This would save other processors 
| the burden of deciphering speech.

Software Freedom Day (Party!)

| The problem is patents. LLVM’s license allows more room for Apple to use
| software patents than the GCC’s licenses do. And Apple now has the
| opportunity to maneuver themselves into a place where through those patents
| they can dominate the software that can be run on their machines. Those
| bastards!

Steve Jobs Patents "The Dock"

,----[ Quote ]
| If you're a PC, you may be unfamiliar with The Dock, the bar of icons that
| sits at the bottom or side of a Mac and provides easy access to Apple
| applications. But don't count on it becoming a standard on the PC. On
| Tuesday, the USPTO awarded Apple — and inventor Steve Jobs — a patent for
| their User Interface for Providing Consolidation and Access, aka 'The Dock,'
| after a rather lengthy nine-year wait.
