Well, that does it. I'm gonna patent my own little self defense system and demand royalties everytime some one punches, kicks, chokes or other wise attacks/defends using any part of their body. :erg:
That's totally ridiculous. I'm almost sure that I've seen PDA programs designed to do this -- launch different programs using the same few hardware buttons depending on how they're clicked. I guess all those authors are going to be sued or forced to deleted their programs or something. Maybe I should go download as many of them as possible now in case I want to use them in the future. Sheesh. I'm almost amazed that they'd let someone patent something that's been in use (albeit in a slightly different medium) for a long time already.
