USPTO Rejects Amazon's One-Click Patent

And it only took many many years to remove what would have been obvious to the most incompetent web developer.

    So, recently we heard that the One-Click Rejection was rejected, which has now itself been rejected and now the one-click patent has been totally rejected?

    I read that there was a rejection review during which the rejection examiner found prior art that was obvious. This however was not the case and so the rejection was rejected and now I hear this guy making claims that some of his obvious prior art is infact obvious and should be counted on so the patent is now invalid.

    What I don't understand is What is a Wookie doing on Endor?

    Can someone give me one thing I can click which will explain this whole thing?

      I could, but I'd have to get your promise that you'd click twice to get to it...at least until this whole thing blows over.
