There are precious little truly original concepts left. The entire patent process is a mess and getting in the way of innovation. I respect a company's ability to make a buck on their own ideas, but what price is the world paying by all of their bickering?

“Just as Word competed with WordPerfect and Excel with Lotus 1-2-3, we have had some fantastic competitors. IBM said it would put us out of business with OS/2 – what were they, 10 times our size? I hope someone has kept a copy of that for the museum.”
Way to stab IBM in the back. Work to help them develop an OS, market the OS, then diss them 10 years later.
