Well...

I haven't seen the patent, but here's an article.

Next I guess they'll patent use of a keyboard as an input device, or perhaps of switches for computers.

I am not pleased.

The book in progress will be done soon and the migration away from MS products continues.

Next they will be demanding royalties every time we use the word "window" or "office". o_0

I forgot to tell you that I have enjoyed the moon bookmarks! They're great! :)
