You can sue for coffee being too hot, for cigarettes giving you lung cancer, for Xbox360's killing your baby, so why not do some good old patent trolling and sue Apple for some technology probably a million people around the world have been dreaming up forty years ago already? Maybe it'll annoy Apple enough to make the suit disappear with a handy little settlement check. After all, moolah is all this suit is about, or was SP Technologies (which is probably a shadow company for Columbian drug lords) ever going to have an actual product with that patent?
