Amazon Gets Patent for what is essentially all E-Commerce. The irony?
At the bottom of the USPTO page, is [Add to Cart] [View Cart].. the USPTO may be in violation.
Although the patent is for a very complex and complete methodology that is
obviously Amazon's (focused on one click ordering upon login). It is also broad enough to be all encompassing. I only hope their hungry lawyers don't go after all the people (like me) doing simple e-commerce.
Maybe we should get a patent on breathing.. or more fun: patent positions/methods of sexual intercourse?

On that latter point, was this what you had in mind?

Noting that Penn Jillette is the inventor of the device Dan points out makes me smile. He is, of course, 100% twisted..... for instance, naming his daughter "Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette."
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
