The English language being used in any type of technology.

Mathamatics
The periodic table
Arthur Conan Doyle....



The pyramid one cracks me up.

[Undertoad]

Using a battery to power a phone
Using a cord with voltage to charge a battery
Using public utilities to create voltage in a cord

Using a display on a phone
Holding a phone closer to your ear to make it louder
Holding a phone in an awkward way to allow its radio to display more bars

A display that rotates 90 degrees to display in landscape
A display that rotates 180 degrees to display in portrait
A display that rotates 270 degrees to display in landscape
A display that rotates 360 degrees to display in portrait
A display you can spin on its axis to show others the display and show you the back of the phone

Rectangular shapes
Voice commands... not limited to commanding electronic devices, but commanding anything and anyone with the use of voice

Now that Jobs is gone, I wonder if the company will mellow out.

[brainless#AC]

The Galaxy and not the phone. I mean the GALAXY!!! Oh and single cell organisms. Well I think that sums it up . Thanks apple I owe my life to you !!!!

[orlanka]

Apple were the first to create www.androidcentral.com and have filed injunctions to shut the site down. Furthermore, all those services that are only available in the US, well, you guessed it, Apple created them too.

Apple will file for a patent on displaying words on a screen!

Patent 029.119923.333 - "Method for conveying spoken language and symbols as a means of communication from a display using assorted patterned lines, colors, and blank spaces."

[bigguy_132]

You guys forgot the most important one. The Cellphone. Apple is going to kill off all other cell phones and everyone will be required to carry an iPhone. (Ha the first time I typed this I literally typed iPhony).

They invented "pooping and peeing" in case you didn't remember.

[chevyguy8893]

Apple created a cult of mostly close-minded people that will spend ridiculous amounts of money for style and bragging rights. Oh, and they revolutionized the insanely long user agreement's.

owning an iPhone isnt even bragging rights anymore, at least not in my area. So many people have them that its almost bragging rights to have something different.


To stay on topic!:

Apple also invented Movies.

[Danv1369]

Apple invented:
1. Inserting the phrase "Thats what she said" after any comment made about the length, size, shape, color, mass, or volume of an object or person
2. Godzilla
3. Chuck Norris
