Anyone paying close enough attention to know if Apple's patent suit is anywhere close to having merit? Or is it just normal stupid patent law that would have been thrown out before the trial started if common sense prevailed?

It's very much the latter. A bunch of bullshit simple concepts that should have never been patentable in the first place. Suffice it to say, the jury was very much Apple starstruck as much of the rest of the public riding this fashion trend is. It was expected to take weeks for them to reach a verdict with the sheer amount of info they had to process but they came back after only 22 hours. Apple had control of the game from the beginning.
