Philip Houska Apple iri kutarisana neimwezve mhosva patent, asi panguva ino inyaya isingawanzo. Mumwe murume anobva kuFlorida ari kuedza kuunza kambani yaCook kumatare edzimhosva nokuda kwekukopa madhizaini ake akadhonzwa nemaoko emidziyo yekubata kubva muna 1992. Ari kuda muripo weanenge mabhiriyoni gumi emadhora (10 mabhiriyoni ekorona).
Izvo zvese zvakatanga muna 1992, apo Thomas S. Ross akagadzira uye akadhirowa nemaoko matatu ehunyanzvi madhirowa echigadzirwa ndokuchidaidza kuti "Electronic Reading Device", yakashandurwa zvakasununguka se "electronic reading device". Muviri wese waive wakaita flat rectangular panels nemakona akatenderedzwa. Maererano naRoss - makore gumi nemashanu pamberi pekutanga iPhone - pakanga pasina chinhu chakadaro panguva iyoyo.
Pfungwa ye "ERD" yaive nemabasa akadaro anonyanya kuzivikanwa nevanhu nhasi. Paive zvakare nemukana wekuverenga nekunyora, pamwe nemukana wekuona mifananidzo kana kuona mavhidhiyo. Kufamba kwega kwega kwaizochengetwa mukati (kana kunze) ndangariro. Chishandiso ichi chaigona zvakare kufona. Ross aidawo kugadzirisa magetsi zvinobudirira - kunze kwemabhatiri echinyakare, aidawo kushandisa simba remagetsi ezuva iro mudziyo waizova nawo.
Muna Gumiguru 1992, mumwe murume wekuFlorida akanyorera kuti awane patent yedhizaini yake, asi makore matatu gare gare (Kubvumbi 1995), Hofisi yePatent yeUS yakarasa nyaya yacho nekuti mari yaidiwa yakanga isati yabhadharwa.
Muna 2014, Thomas S. Ross akamutsiridza magadzirirwo ake zvakare paakanyorera kuUS Copyright Hofisi yekodzero. Mukumhan'ara, Ross anoti Apple yakashandisa zvisizvo dhizaini yake mumaPhones, iPads uye iPod touch, uye nekudaro iri kutsvaga inokwana mabhiriyoni gumi emadhora ekukuvadza uye chikamu che1,5 muzana chekutengesa kwepasirese. Sekureva kwake, Apple yakamukonzera "kukuvadza kwakakura uye kusingagadziriswe kusingakwanisi kubhadharwa zvizere kana kuyerwa nemari." Nguva ichataura kuti zvichamira sei mudare.
Nekudaro, mubvunzo unoramba uripo kuti sei munhu uyu akatarisa paApple + chete uye kwete kune vamwe vagadziri vanouyawo nemagadzirirwo akafanana emidziyo yavo.
Ndingati anogona kumhan'ara amazon nekuda kwemutsa 3 :)
Zviripachena kuti Apple haina kugadzira pfungwa itsva asi yakangonatsa (kunyangwe zviri pachena) pfungwa yePDA, asi munhu uyu akarasika. vanofanira kumuisa mujacket renjere nekumurovesa hana kuti ane hushingi hwekuremedza dare zvisina tsarukano.
Chandisiri kunzwisisa ndechekuti haana kumbotaura kuti anga ava nemakore gumi achigara mubako?
Ini ndinofunga kuti Apple ichatiza nayo sechirevo chinopisa madota... :-)
