That's just part of marketing: hype. Ya gotta try or you lose your gig. Yup, we are constantly bombarded with lies so that someone will keep their job and get their yearly bonus. Capitalism sucks. And probably they would have to pay a patent fee to someone if they used rounded corners (probably Apple). Really? Shouldn't a patent be something truly unique and complex and not something that just anybody could have thought of and really should be prior art anyway? Capitalism sucks.
