i.e. the technology that is sufficiently advanced to be indistinguishable
from magic. It doesn't have to be very advanced if the bench still
believes in the tooth fairy. But this is more advanced than the old saw
of doing whatever it was "on a computer". Now we are doing it
"via an internet web site." Powerful stuff that Buckleys.
I'm having trouble seeing how "far removed from purely mental steps"

but what am I missing here? This appears to be a business method patent.
AFAICT, the 'unique' claim appears to allow a user to view some otherwise

I am afraid to show this example to anyone, for fear of being considered totally
insane for taking this stuff so seriously.
OK....I'm considered a little nuts already.....but, c'mon![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
