    Qoobo is a cushion with a robotic tail. A Yukai Engineering designer built it because nothing waited for her at home. Does anything wait for you?

    The bite in the Apple logo has nothing to do with Alan Turing. Rob Janoff drew it in 1977 so it wouldn't read as a cherry. The rainbow wasn't pride either, just proof the Apple II did color.

    Tiffany owns a color. A private Pantone numbered 1837 for its founding year, trademarked in 1998, not a logo, the blue itself. Should a company be allowed to own a color?

    "Keep Calm and Carry On" was printed 2.45 million times in 1939, then pulped in 1940 before anyone saw it. One copy surfaced in 2000. That's the only reason you know it.

    The pull-to-refresh gesture you do every day is a patent. Loren Brichter added it to Tweetie in 2010, Twitter bought the app and got the patent. Billions of pulls later, everyone thinks it was always there.
