I don't see anywhere in his paper that says he implemented his IDCT in hardware. Yes, it may be VLSI-friendly, but his paper describes the algorithm, not a circuit diagram of any specific hardware design. This guy shouldn't get the patent.
Whenever I'm coding, I queue up a bunch of goa trance and dive in. You don't have to pay attention to the music, and it has a beat which keeps me going through the long haul coding sessions. I can think more clearly with goa going in the background than with other music with harsher beats (ie. metal, rap, industrial) or music with lyrics.
