"@xblindx:
Good post it's refreshing to see a level headed and well-thoughtout response from a fanboy of any system, company.
But in the end just enjoy the games is what I say, fuck all the nonsense!"
"@Doomstink: The disturbing part is that they filed it in 2000, 6 *years* after they first came up with the concept, and by that time, others had already come onto the market.
The US does use a "first-to-invent" system (see: [en.wikipedia.org]), but I don't know if the "prior art" would be prior to conception, or prior to filing.
Worlds.com did release working uses of this patent, but they didn't file it for 4-5 years after release, according to your dates.
IANAL, but this seems an uncertain at least, if not shaky, situation for this patent."
