Next Gen iPod escapes the Apple Mutant Hand of Death

I couldn’t resist commenting on this one as Apple patent illustrations are a favorite topic of mine. Anyway, Apple is contemplating a front / back UI something akin to that in the goofily named Samsung Upstage. That’s cool, good for Apple. Personally, I don’t care what they patent as long as it doesn’t feature that HAND OF DEATH in the patent art:

Yeesh. That thing gives me the shivers. I think I’m going to get a t-shirt made with that hand and the caption “we come in peace.”
