The whole system is a fucking mess really. Copyright and patents. Both originally intended to protect the individual author/inventor. Now it's just got fucking silly.

Coca-Cola has never been patented as they'd have to give up the recipe if they did.

 

Same for Aero (although in that case it's the method for making the bubbles).

 

EDIT: That was meant to be to ALL :(

It's fine, I understand.

Webos update released today. Seems to have same speed/responsiveness as overclocked webOS 4.02.

I caved in and installed the second Alpha release. So far, I've ignored it completely and watched a film on my telly. I suppose I should really install a few things on the tablet since I just risked voiding the warranty on it.
