| Re: Top judge: ditching software patents a "bad solution".
Judges have a
hard time understanding that there is nothing fancy about computing software -
it's just MATH.
Where you take an human analog funtion (input),
then,
add the binary to meet the math requirements to run on the "chips" or the
computer that is nothing more than a "design" invention for patent purposes. To
clarify the digital myth
please watch this CSPAN and Library of Congress video for the segment called
"Digital Future: Meaning of Digital".
This is a CSPAN Digital
Future Series presentation where Brian Cantwell Smith's lecture is titled "And
Is All This Stuff Really Digital After All"?- ...where the speaker notes that
future generations will *not* be so impressed and fooled by "the Digital Myth),
...then, after the digital myth part finishes it's run, you end
up with analog (output).
Same above is true for all data types (inculding
audio and video).
Wireless, is just packet radio, something that the HAM
radio folks did for a long time. Same digital myth.
The magic of the myth
(has been fooling many for years, including judges). And, someday, those
judges will be seen as the fools that they are (including some members of the
Supreme court that ruled wrongly, while being part of the ignorant judicial
majority that ruled the way they did in "Bilski").
The only
remaining question, is when the Supreme Court will get a chance to fix it's
wrong ruling in Bilski? Will it take only a couple of years, or will the damage
caused by Bilski last 5-10-15 years?
