I say lynch the morons who grant these patents. They probably line their wallets with kickbacks while the public gets shafted. ]]>Nov 29th 2007 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/Nov 29th 2007 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/Nov 29th 2007 5:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/29/patent-office-upholds-tivos-time-warp-patent-echostar-not-so/
