Apple files color-changing device patent

"Several readers point to an interesting Apple patent on a Computing device with dynamic ornamental appearance... The invention pertains to electronic devices capable of dynamically changing their ornamental or decorative appearance, i.e., the outer appearance as seen by a user...."

Based on the CK Sauce LED stuff according to CK.

Sort of a 'factory case mode?' [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Guess I'm patent infringing. I have a CK Sauce Style color changing LED as my power light. It's a Mac though so maybe they won't sue.

I hope Apple does a better implamentation of it than the gimicky color changing stereos and such that are appearing in stores.

Of course no one had thought of additive colour mixing before CK, just like they invented PWM to control LED brightness.....
