Apple Wins Patent For Solar-Powered MacBook

While not as bad as some of its recent patents, I'm thoroughly convinced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office just rubber stamp anything Apple submits.
Apple's U.S. Patent No. 8,638,549 for an "Electronic device display module" describes a two-sided glass laptop display housing which carries the usual screen on its front face. On the rear, however, the module holds photovoltaic cells for solar charging, a secondary display and sensors for touch input.
