Anyway, the 2 patents in questions are 2 of the most questionnable patents we have seen: slide to unlock ( that samung dont use anyway, they use the google Android unlock method ).. and the now famous "647 " Quick Links "... ( A patent dated from 1996, who have nothing to do with Iphone, but general computer ( the patent expire in 2016 anyway ).. ( basically, this patent is extremely vague and was filled at a time for different purpose ) If you want to know exactly what is the '647 patent. http://readwrite.com/2012/06/13/apples-647-patent-what-it-is-and-why-its-bad-for-the-mobile-ecosystem#awesm=~oDupmgtEmnn8e1

Well entire idea of wiki dynamic links in text or any search engines like google could be attacked with this. You can include any kind of "form history" where you start typing part of information like email and you get list of matches from which you can pick one you like. This patent should have never been accepted, because it was too general from beginning. It's similar to patenting passive brain function for motor skills where you do not have to think what to do, you just do.
