My grandma did have wheels, she was still my grandma, and not a wagon.
You seem to refuse to understand that software improves a computer in exactly
the same way that a cookbook improves an oven.
Computers are not Magic.
Software is a series of instructions.
Nothing more.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

That's how adding software to a computer that can't actually do X
so that it can
do X is improving the machine.
The problem with the
"computer can't actually do X" argument is that it implies the unprogrammed
computer has no utility. Why would it be patentable then? Isn't utility a
requirement in patent law?
I think your line of thinking is wrong in part
because it dismisses the utility of the unprogrammed hardware. This utility
exists and you can't brush it off like you do.
Another other error is that
you can improve things without the improvement being an improvement to the
machine. You don't show how the improvement is tied to a change in machine
structure. The article explains why there is no change to machine structure. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
