This article discusses the patent wars between Google and Apple about banning the import of iPhone into the US. What I find so interesting in this article is that Google quotes Apple's own Steve Job's biography into their brief. A quote talks about Jobs being amazed by the use of a proximity sensor that figured out when you had the phone near your ear, in order to not allow your lobes press buttons on accident.
I think Google is trying to bring importance and legitimacy of their claims against Apple. Utilizing Jobs' words for their own benefit basically makes it seem like Jobs advocating for their technology and therefore, the court should rule with Google.
Let's see if this becomes fruitful
Rhetorically, it is a very strong argument that Google is making when they use Apple's own visionary's words. Smart move by Google.
