Multi-Touch FTW

FTW is a common Internet parlance that means "For The Win".

The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of newly granted patents for Apple Inc. and they, in my opinion, are clearly a FTW for Apple with regards to the future of computing.

The patents are called:


These along with a 4th multi-touch patent apple won back in 2009 called Identifying contacts on a touch surface clearly illustrate Apple owns touch based computing across any display size.
