Maybe I missed this today (sorry if it is a duplicate) but there was an
interesting comment on a recent patent from Apple on the Macrumors site
today:
http://www.macrumors.com/
Newton chunk:
" Readers are cautioned, however, that this particular patent, however,
may simply represent Newton technology patents finally becoming
processed. The patent summary notes that the rotation feature would be
"especially advantageous for pen-based and hand-held computers".
Apple's Newton 2x00 handheld computer did allow for this same portrait
and landscape rotation."

Why would newton patents just now be processed?
