Of course there can be a billion reasons as to why some packets will take longer than others to reach their destinations.
However, if you do enough sampling over a period of time, you can make averages and see if some types/destinations of packets are possibly being messed with.
It's not perfect, but neither are averages in general, etc.
What makes it newsworthy is that such a simple idea was granted a patent.
Not as in "it replaces Windows and Mac OS X" but as in "more and more people are buying Linux computers", which are those small netbooks.
The general public started buying Linux machines without really being aware of it. They don't need to know about Linux, all they need is a web browser, email, IM, etc.
And I predict touch computing will kill the mouse just like computers killed paper documents: barely.
Touchscreens make sense on small/portable devices like a PalmPilot, an iPhone, a Nintendo DS. But they replace the mouse interface where a mouse is not practical, kinda like the Nintendo Wiimote.
Didn't someone say that the mouse was supposed to kill the keyboard, anyway?
Simply add touch-screens to your list of input devices, the other ones aren't going away.

I would've expected such an idea to come from Switzerland.
No it's not. I get spam from a lot of places besides Canada.

Everybody knows that sarcasm contains no iron.
