Space, the final frontier, these are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its mission … to boldly go where no man has been before. Unless Apple ruins the party, obviously.

This Star Trek spoof shows what could happen if Apple’s unnecessary and unjustified stranglehold on patents related to mobile technology continues on into future generations.

None of the technology that the crew of the Enterprise relies on to communicate with each other and to fight off its numerous enemies is available to them any longer.

This video was made before Apple won its battle against Samsung in the U.S., a victory which makes this spoof even more compelling.
