There is an obvious (and not so suprising) method to Apple's N
lawsuits: whatever it takes, as long as it's benificial to Apple.  One
must keep in mind that this is the same attitude that _many_ other
large coporations have taken in the past.

That still doesn't make it right, though, just commmon.  Maybe if
Apple keeps this up, they will set a precedent invalidating their own
claims.  Probably not, though.  Any lawyer stupid enough to let that
happen wouldn't be working for Apple in the first place.

Isn't Law fun?  :-(
