  1. From his bio... by MadCow42 · · Score: 1 · on USPTO Issues Provisional Storyline Patent

    The about section of the website for the lawyer prosecuting this is hillarious... not only has he only graduated law school THIS year, but read this:

    The connection between patent law and unique fictional storylines necessary to conceive of Storyline Patents may never have been made if Andrew Knight did not occasionally dabble in fiction.

    I guess that seeped into his patent applications themselves too.

    He also seems excited about a business model for advertising only a link to a web page in your local classified ads, and posting most of the info on a custom-named website. Prior art is everywhere, including an EXACT implementation of his patent I did a couple years ago to sell my car: www.cazabon.com/car (even the format of the URL is identical!)

    How do I submit prior art to bust that one? :)

  2. Other cheap, portable technologies by MadCow42 · · Score: 1 · on Beyond The Cell -- Journalists' Video Phone
    If they don't need real-time uploads, there's a lot of "cheap" consumer-level products that can create digital video of sufficient quality (between their current phone and real video).



    Personally, I use a $200 Kodak camera (MC3) to shoot video while skydiving... it's not as good as a video camera, but more than enough for use in these situations. Going into the $500+ market, you'd get even better quality. (for samples, see: My Skydiving Weblog )



    Sure, it'd be a pain to upload video manually after shooting, but you could still do it on your satellite phone, and it'd be better quality.

  3. Create a "Virtual Tour" of your office... by MadCow42 · · Score: 2 · on What to Do on the Nightshift Besides Work?
    Like my old tour, or my new tour (still in development... database driven).

    The new tour is driven by a Perl script and a standard database... if you get bored and want source code, just ask.
