We need to stop awarding patents based on the 'what' (ie electronic gifting) and go back to awarding patents based on the 'how' (where how is more specific than 'on the internet/computer'). My father is a chemist, he has some patents attributed to him. You can't patent something like a color (the what) but you can patent HOW you achieved that color.

I don't know off hand, but once developers start writing their apps for GTK3 because of GNOME Shell/Unity, wouldn't that make then incompatible with a forked GTK2? It was my understanding that Cinnamon/MATE came about because people didn't like the UI of GNOME3, not because the didn't like the toolkit.

Wow! Look!! A stray meatball!! Let's interview it!
