the '937 patent seems to be obvious since Windows had been popping up windows for controls over the content for quite a few years.
the others seem similarly weak, but I don't have as obvious prior art at the tip of my fingers.
I hope Google guts these patents with prior art (land war in asia, or engaging Google in anything involving searching for information...)

And further back, in the 1950s and 1960s (if I recall), you could get much cheaper rural telephone rates by getting a party line with up to 7 other nearby homes -- each phone number had a unique ring pattern that said "this call is for you". (We never had an 8-party line but my childhood home had a 2-party line.)
