networkworld.com — Why settle for WebEx when you can be like Obi Wan and Luke? Microsoft is seeking to patent technology that would allow companies to conduct holographic virtual meetings. Along those lines, it is also seeking to patent gesture-based computing and a magic wand.

You can blame Microsoft. They are making the decisions of their own free will.Feral behaviour is understandable amongst the desperate creatures of this world, but they are hardly desperate.

I have no idea what your silly feral creatures reference is all about but this is the patent system the US has and thus it's the system they have to work within. They are doing nothing wrong by the definitions of the laws and regulations regarding this as set forth by the government and justice system. If you have any problem with the behaviour than it must go against the system and not the participants because it would moronic to believe that individuals or coporations should gut their chances of success by ignoring how the regulations work.

Hi disgruntled old man. Nothing in the past 50 years? Ever hear of the "computer" or maybe the "internet"? I think grandpa needs his pills and a nap.

Lets understand:Microsoft will patent an Holographic meeting without:1) Creating a holographic machine themselves.2) Researching into how to create a holographic machine.I will therefore patent a button that is pressed when someone uses a time machine.I will not myself invent a time ,machine,I will not even bother read up about time travel.I will just patent something that i will put little effort into and sue the crap out of people for actually eventing it, just like the people who sued people for using hyper links when they themselves did f**k all in creating the internet.The patent system is bulls**t.
