DigiTimes Lends Credence To Apple-Branded TVs For 2012 232
It's a rumor that goes back years (here's one example from this summer) that Apple is planning to produce dedicated TV sets branded with its own name; the main question seems to be when. DigiTimes (hat tip to CNet) is reporting that component-maker sources say that Apple has begun the process by ordering parts that hint at an offering next year of Apple TV sets (as opposed to Apple TV) in 32" and 37".

And they'll probably drag up a design patent from 1921 that'll force Sony, LG and the rest to produce heptagonal TVs with screens that face the wall and razor blades on the corners.

I hate Apple's approach to patent wars, but you gotta admit, between how Microsoft is handling building their own patent troll and the way Apple did it...
Apple built the thinnest, lightest, most elegant patent troll. Microsoft, OTOH, hamhandedly threw a LOT of money at Darl McBride. Even in their shady shitty business practices Apple shows a sense of style!

No, it means they won't be able to sell any because you can't carry it down to the coffee shop and be seen with it.
