• Thank you for explaining the difference. You rock.
• Ummm... I don't know about the rest of you nerds, but doesn't this strike you as a refinement of an existing system? It's not like I looked at it in the same way that I looked at at the Boyer-Moore string search algo. That one made me go "Wow!".

Overall, I view it as a press release rather than something utterly profound. Then again, I designed a DVR in 1989 and the first thing I wrote in my notes was "Needs to read and write from hard drive at the same time." So perhaps I'm exceptional. But I think not.

As a tangent from that, software patents should be obvious to the practitioners of the art. Sadly, the practitioners of the art seem to be VB programmers. Can you say, "One click shopping"? Sure. I knew you could.
