So here's the issue.

Title: Apple patents
Article: Apple has applied for a patent
So witch one is it? Did apple applied or was granted? Might wanna get your story straight.

Has anyone tried to just patent "electric stuff" yet?

It's called the internet of things. Sorry apple (or not), but it's been done before.

Then again, that hasn't stopped the patent office yet.

Patents should not be granted in such a general way without any form of physical product or method of implementation Coming up with an idea does not mean when someone else thinks of the same thing but implements it in a way not detailed in the patent troll application should not leave the creator paying a patent holder for nothing but paperwork filed with a board that grants these vague patents due to $corporate influence$

Great, now ill know if my package was dropped during its 2000 mile trip across the USA...

I worked in shipping once, and let me inform you they do not treat them like new born babies when they pack them into the trailer. That "impact sensor" will be going off every time it is loaded.

Hello Zak

 

[elbert]

LOL Apple trying to patent concepts in many science fiction movies. If this just pertains to a device they have created then shouldn't it be use of said device? I don't think they should be allowed to coop ideals from authors. Example this would block the creation of nano bots for health monitoring if allowed to be so broadly defined.

insurance company: "well we can't cover that we actually cancelled your policy 7 hours before your heart attack, your iphone 19 detected a heart arithmia and apple sold us the data so we dropped your coverage, enjoy your $xx,xxx.xx bill"

Most packages can take at least a little bit of abuse.

Excessive rough-handling on the other hand can get expensive when companies instruct customers to refuse the package if the seal or box is damaged.

As far as Apple's new patent goes, sounds like another case of Apple patenting the obvious. Make sensors cheap and small enough, you can start embedding/sticking them into/onto everything. Sports injury researchers have been working on helmets and mouth pieces with embedded accelerometers to keep track of potential brain/head/neck injuries in contact sports for a few years already.
