Don't forget rumors about patent trolls burning unlicensed copies of the Koran!

Ack.

Then we have the fanatical christians and republicans sueing them and harassing them while the fanatical muslims try to kill them, all in an effort to restore the dignity of their prophets or gods or protect their children or whatever. Gotta be fun to watch.

This isn't Slashdot. None of: christians, republicans, muslims, the Bible, the Koran, prophets, gods, or children are mentioned in the article. Please keep your remarks topical.

He's referring to salvarsan's comment above. And the general craziness of zealots of various hues is quite topical at the moment :-). The Patent trolls certainly deserve retribution more than most.

One has to wonder how long this sort of patent nonsense will go on before the system finally gets improved. Those of us with clue have been telling everyone how wrong-headed it is (because it's completely obvious to us) for years now, and change is glacial. And meanwhile a lot of money is made by bad people, and a lot of innovation is held back.
