I am more than aware of the difference between design patents and utility patents. That doesn't make Apple's rounded corners any less of a frivilous design patent, nor does it make Touchstream's casting patent a frivilous utility patent. Just because an idea seems obvious after the fact does not mean someone can't be the first to implement and patent it.
