Except from Monsanto's perspective the neighboring farmer doesn't own the seed -- he just licenses it.

What are terms of the license? The farmer is just using (inadvertently) products of licensed technology. If I get a Nokia phone, I'm not getting a license on Nokia's technology.

It does not have to necessarily mean that he is so lucky. I but only stuff that I have to. If I really need to have X, then I buy X. The price does not make a big difference. Because if it did, it means that I need X if it costs less and I do not need it if it costs more. If there is a possibility that I do not need X, then I really do not need X.

reduced the entire UI to a single button

Why is that modded "+5 Funny"? Every office printer these days has only one button. You press it briefly to do make a copy, you press it 5 seconds to clean the cache, you press it 10 seconds to print a test page .... There is also only one LED to helpfully indicate various error codes such as paper jam, out of toner, no paper in tray. Clearly it must be the most ergonomic interface ever, because every printer vendor does this. I don't see why this would not work for desktop UI?
