Patents are just ICBMs in the cold war between large corporations. Each corporation stockpiles enough of them that any legal threat will end in mutually assured destruction of all parties involved.

The Inquirer is a terrible rag, as well. They not only copy Schwartz's blog post, they interpret it in cringeworthy ways. Sorry, Steve Jobs had not been "using concurrence so long he forgot what it was called." Concurrence just had graphical effects similar to Keynote, and Schwartz was reminding Jobs that Apple's products had infringed on Sun's patents as well.
