Angry Birds maker Rovio sued over app patents

It seems like Lodsys would patent having to turn a computer on before you use it if they could get away with it!

What happened to needing to actually come-up with a specific concept before you can patent it, rather than just being able to patent a vague (& often self-evidently vital to the use of any relevant device) idea?

They're the Thomas Edison of the computer age...

As far as I am concerned they should have to show financial hardship from a product that is not selling because the other one is just like it.

Well, I assure you, my dig at him has nothing to do with his being American & my being British, if an American invents something I'll gladly acknowledge it; as I believe in giving credit where credit's due...

And it's for that exact same reason of believing credit for an invention should rest with the person who actually invented it that I deeply dislike Edison That, and he electrocuted an elephant just to try to discredit the superior AC system in favour of his primitive DC system

Vive la Tesla!!!

Yes, if. How else am I to phrase it? If I said "when" you'd likely interpret that as me saying it had never happened before!
