[Sigia-l] Steve Jobs invented the hierarchical list???

[Jake Cressman]

Hi,

Maybe you saw this in the MacUser newsletter. Apple is seeking a patent for
the iPod user interface. And its not for that cool wheel thing either, but
rather for the method of displaying the content on an iPod by means of a
series of hierarchical lists.

You've got to be kidding.

You can read the patent application here. If you've never heard user
interface explained in legal-speak, your in for a laugh.
