Another computational idea patent
vendredi 25 mars 2016 à 01:00Amazon has another obnoxious computational idea patent on paying by identifying yourself with a photo.
On the one hand, this might have the good effect of discouraging use of that foolish practice. On the other hand, it might also help Amazon, which is bad.
Regardless of the specific consequences of this patent, it is one more example of why we should not allow patents to apply to software.
