#2No one can expect this to stand. A cursory glance at the Wiki gave me "In 2005, the Liteye HMD was introduced for ground combat troops as a rugged, waterproof lightweight display that clips into a standard US PVS-14 military helmet mount." That's actually on the field a year before Apple even applied for this patent.

Looking at past, i can't say that it won't stand. Software industry will pay price for this mindless patent abuse in worse ways.

#4If Apple turns around and sues Google using this patent, I think it will be time to unplug completely and join the people in the mountains looking to escape EM radiation.
And really, they had to add CRT displays to the patent? Seriously Apple, CRT? Did Apple figure out a magical new way of getting "retina" resolution with a millimeter-long tube that can somehow feed the entire field-of-vision of the person wearing it? Come on.

#5I have hope both that Apple is secretly working on an amazing set of augmented reality glasses and that the patent will be somehow overturned.

Or you could just get rid of your Apple crap and get a nice Linux machine (if indeed, you haven't already). It's a pretty good system for hackers and the inquisitive.

I believe part of the point is that if Apple's patent abuse continues unchecked, there won't be options like nice Linux machines...

#8It looks like Google should have spent a little less money on skydivers and a little more on lawyers :(

I take it you couldn't be bothered to read the article.
If you did you would have noticed that Apple is projecting stereoscopic 3D images using two displays. Does Google do anything at all similar to that ?
No. Case closed.

Yes because Linux only come onto the market this week and hasn't been around for 20+ years without a lawsuit from Apple. Or how about the fact that at one stage Apple had their own Linux distribution (MkLinux) and contributes a lot of core technologies used in Linux e.g. CUPS, WebKit.
