It's understandable that consumers will always have mixed emotions about any company from which they’re buying products, and for the large part, big companies like Apple, Google and Samsung are always going to do something that draws a negative reaction from some. With that said, one thing that Apple in particular can't be accused of is resting on their laurels and remaining stagnant in the marketplace. Although the Cupertino company has recently announced and launched their revamped EarPods headphones alongside the iPhone 5, a new patent suggests that they are still working on further advances in that area.
Whether product releases are out of season or at full-blown launch phase, seldom a week goes by where Apple doesn't see at least one new patent approved, and although it can often be difficult to keep track of them, a new one - United States Patent Application 20120250914 - is of particular interest.
Although Apple may still be going through the district and county courts in an ongoing battle with Samsung over alleged patent infringements, it certainly hasn't stopped the creative minds at the Cupertino company from coming up with and submitting applications for a wide variety of patents. We all know the technology giants are no strangers to the patent system, something that has been emphasized today with the United States Patent and Trademark Office publishing a total of twenty three patents awarded to Apple.
Google has literally given technology aficionados a glimpse into the future with its Project Glass, which makes a pair of spectacles the focal point of the experiment.
