Help! Apple has snaffled the WHOLE WORLD'S supply of sapphire glass

Re: Sapphire Glass is crap...

Diamond has a MOHS hardness value of 10, sapphire of 9, Gorilla Glass 3 of 6.

In this business, the name-o-the-game is to try to secretly accomplish something ... and then brag about it afterwards. It comes across as pathetic whining when complaining that someone else has realized one's earlier publically-stated "suggestions". If there's no more AlO3 on the market for the next 3 years, then invest in C coatings and develop the first viable super-thin diamond screen. Absolutely nothing would be more scratch resistant than that ...

THIS IS NOT A PATENTABLE CONCEPT

Since typewriter keyboards have been around over a hundred years and keys have had many shapes over those years, it is immaterial how keys are shaped, and therefore should NOT be patentable. How the keys actually cause letters to appear, however, should be patentable. Also NOT patentable are key configurations and the shapes of keyboards. If this dude is granted a patent for this frivolous nonsense, then it shows that there's yet another patent office out there with its organizational head up its organizational butt.
