Yeah, and Dell and Gateway are just computer resellers. Imagine if you had bought Dell stock when they went public. Sure, it's gambling, but so is the whole dang stock market:)
You say "If you patent a gene, nobody can USE the gene without a license" If they patent the human genome will we all have to get permission from them to exist and/or reproduce? I am being facetious, but let's get serious... can someone patent nature, or even their view of nature. If you believe in God, then does God already hold those patents?
