In the same way that a car is capable of moving stuff
provided someone drives it, is the car not capable until
someone gets in to drive it? So the driver of the car
is a patentable improvement over the car without driver?
Just like the computer without software has the capability,
but until software is run, the capability will not be realized.
The act of controlling a machine is not changing the machine itself.
It is simply using the machine for what it was designed for.
While a car is not specifically designed for a trip from your
home to your workplace, such use it not outside the capability
that it had as it rolled out of the factory. So your climbing
in to drive your car, to a place this car has never gone before,
is not a patentable improvement to that car.
So no matter how useful loading some software may be, if you think
that should be patentable, then why not patent your 'improvement'
to your car by your getting into it and driving.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oh, side point:
