WTF... this patents are not right...

so can I patent the pixel???

so anyone who uses pixels should pay me a tax right?


plus this is wrong, because the patents are very expensive... for example... can I patent my app? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDJPBnSv0wc ? or my "alternative to multitouch gesture"?

no, because I don't have 100K or whatever worth a international patent... so maybe some company would patent my idea and I'am left outside, and my app becomes a app that stolen an idea... guess my youtube video counts for something...
