[Tfug] Fwd: They patented WHAT?

[Bowie J. Poag]

Software patents are an irrelevant, archaic holdover from the industrial 
revolution when innovation worth protecting came in the form of 
physical, tangible objects. Not ideas.

In any event, IBM holds a patent on the wheel. Yes, seriously. Look it up.

What else is new?
