Fun patent of the day

It seems that Microsoft was awarded patent #7,415,666 on August 19, 2008. The bleeding-edge technology, which was evidently invented around 2005, is: "In one implementation, pressing a Page Down or Page Up keyboard key/button allows a user to begin at any starting vertical location within a page, and navigate to that same location on the next or previous page. For example, if a user is viewing a page starting in a viewing area from the middle of that page and ending at the bottom, a Page Down command will cause the next page to be shown in the viewing area starting at the middle of the next page and ending at the bottom of the next page."
