US Dir. of Citizen Participation Patents the News 66

Posted by timothy from the overlay-of-obvious dept.
theodp writes "Ex-Googler and now White House Director of Citizen Participation Katie Stanton is charged with promoting open public dialogues. Last Thursday, Stanton and Google snagged a patent on displaying financial news. Google explains that Stanton's invention — Interactive Financial Charting and Related News Correlation — will 'facilitate and encourage the user's use and understanding of financial information,' which does jibe nicely with Stanton's appointment to Obama's New Media Team. Too bad it'll be encumbered by a Google patent until 2027."

It's McIntosh and they had to pay for Macintosh? Argh.

Let's just be glad that this is all about "Apple" and now "Orange", or the world, while not being a colorless place, would have to fumble along with one less color.

BTW, the .sig "There are 10 types of people..." was funnier. By a lot.
