Your question will cause some division among the ranks.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

Sum division? I fear it will be of greater magnitude.

Good summation, it may well factorial into future plans

I'd rather not launch into a rant, but the answer is sumtimes.
Ultimately, what's the difference?

Well, if I were the patent holder, anyway.
So, yeah, I'm the Inventor (1 of 2) that filed this concept first before others.
But, this invention isn't *the* foundational patent upon which all those apps which enable you to buy stuff on that dumbarse phones and tablets; but danged close enuff!

What a crock!
Buying stuff and paying for it (ie. trade) is fundamental to human civilization and has been for many thousands of years.
Since when is doing it on a smart phone app so different as to warrant a patent?

Gee, post something marked as 'joke' and the crowd goes political freak-a-zoid.
(Not that I don't agree with them on the over-patent abuse. 
Then, again, I don't see any of them with patents.  )

Never forget where you are. The Sheldons of this world are really smart, but they have their problems with humor, sarcasm, everything female...

Took me a few moments to see the joke icon and until that I was wondering what the heck you were going on about... then again the coffee still hasn't kicked in.

The news of Google patenting something that is already widely available in different formats is not suddenly funny simply because you chose the joke-icon. The news itself causes a predictable reaction.
Now, next time you try a joke, go for the format "an X, Y and Z walk into a bar."

Even in the case that I could file a non-abusive patent, I would opt for the public domain and a CP-like license. Also do not need to file a patent to have an opinion on the patents that Google files.

Maybe it was the utter lack of humor that fooled us.

I've had my name attached to a couple non-software patent applications but neither panned out. My late brother had 3 patents - does that count?

One does not count as a crowd. 
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
