All true except for the productive part. Apples aim is to inhibit competition through force. Their patents are at best weak and mostly BS but they have a lot of money and the prohibitive cost of fighting these battles has already kept some from enabling multi touch and other features. This was their goal, to hinder their competitioin, so they have been productive but I do get what you mean about "real" productive work.
