Apple sues HTC for infringing 20 iPhone patents

[Engadget has the documentation][link]. I’d like to add my voice to the chorus of people decrying the use of “user interface” patents. This kind of thing can be pretty vile. For example, one of the patents is for:

>”Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image,”

Which is absurd.
