What do you think about Apple patenting the "slide to unlock" feature of its phones?

Asked by PhiNotPi (12681points) October 27th, 2011

I just found out that the “slide to unlock” feature on iPod Touches and other products has been patented. No other phone is now allowed to use the same gesture to unlock the phone. What do you think about this? Should companies be able to patent stuff as simple as a gesture?
