Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of a still image taken from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey." In a clip from that film lasting about one minute, two astronauts are eating and at the same time using personal tablet computers. The clip can be downloaded online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8pQVDyaLo. As with the design claimed by the D’889 Patent, the tablet disclosed in the clip has an overall rectangular shape with a dominant display screen, narrow borders, a predominately flat front surface, a flat back surface (which is evident because the tablets are lying flat on the table's surface), and a thin form factor.

Not to mention the Star Trek Next Gen Padd. In a gobsmackingly stupid move Apple has allowed iPad users to install an app that makes the screen look like an LCARS interface. I mean even the name "Padd" and "iPad" are too close for comfort.
Yeah, well back in the early 90's the cartoon Reboot had an iPad device as well.
I really hope Samsung wins this one as Apple and many other tech companies patent trolling is getting ridiculous.
