And, I wonder when the tsunami of refugees pouring across the 49th parallel into Canada, and the Rio Grande into Mexico, is going to start. Good luck containing that, DHS.

Why would they want to contain it? Those people would be leaving the sink^H^H^H^Hcountry, wouldn't they?

Unfortunately, Mr Stanganelli won't get to see this, as I can't post it as a comment on his article because the registration procedure is four screens long and wants every last detail of my domestic and financial circumstances.

The three technologies he cites, online video, image rotation, and search bar autocomplete, were all well in use long before the so-called "inventors" "invented" them, so I cannot but agree with the judgement that the patent is invalid.

It sounds as if Mr Stanganelli is simply suffering from a nasty case of sour grapes because he simply doesn't understand the technology: he inhabits this bizarro world of patents and attorneys where it's seen as perfectly OK to hijack an existing piece of work and pretend it's your own.

We've lost our mojo and I don't think we'll ever get it back.

I'm afraid you long since handed your mojo (and pretty much everything else) over to corporations, who bought up the government and now run the country as their private fiefdom, much as Britain used to run it 200+ years ago. And you did this because of a pseudo-Jeffersonian belief that Government is Bad and Business is always Right. You can get your mojo back by the simple expedient of removing the turds who govern you and replacing them with ones who are not beholden to corruption (and good luck with that :-)

"You" plural, of course, not you personally...
