Apple Patents Technology That Would Force Users to Interact with Ads
Its distinctive feature is a design that doesn't simply invite a user to pay attention to an ad — it also compels attention. The technology can freeze the device until the user clicks a button or answers a test question to demonstrate that he or she has dutifully noticed the commercial message. Because this technology would be embedded in the innermost core of the device, the ads could appear on the screen at any time, no matter what one is doing.

This is one of the silliest ideas I've heard in a long while. Forcing people to interact with ads or have the device locked down until the user complies? 
I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker. ~Voltaire

It's Apple, and I'm honestly not surprised. They would do something like this.

This might be useful if Apple wanted to subsidize sales of its devices. Cell-phone providers could offer two variations of the iPhone, one that is ad-supported and one that isn't.
The one with advertising would sell for very cheap, and the ads would display for the duration of the user's contract. I'm sure a lot of high-schoolers would grab a discount iPhone and then click through ads.

One day, walking down a relatively populated walk in the park, talking with your girlfriend on your iPhone:
You: So what's up?
GF: Nothing... I'm so bored! Wanna hang out?
QUICK SUDDEN VOCAL ADVERTISEMENT: WOULD YOU LIKE TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF YOUR PENIS?
You: Sure.
You: WAIT! WTF? NO! NO! I don't need to do something like that!
GF: Oh, so if that's how you feel, then maybe we should just stop going out?
*Hangs up*

Supporters of Proposition 8 will argue California does not discriminate against gays, as the current law allows them to get married - as long as they wed a partner of the opposite sex.
