All they're patenting is the ability to go up/down exactly one page.  And maintaining zoom levels?  Maybe the Pg Up/Pg Dn buttons don't do that, but a thousand buttons within various programs do that already.  Go set your zoom in Adobe and hit the next page button... the zoom level is magically maintained.  Wow!  I can't even think of a program that doesn't do that.   Should something like this really be protected by a patent?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Vidikron (FU)]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 11:34AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmm, this seems to infringe upon my patent on "just plain hitting keys on a keyboard."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[farfisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 9:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hasn't anyone at the Patent Office used a keyboard before? <br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[atlasfugged]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 9:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[The real question is if anyone at the U.S. patent office has any common sense... or at least just sense.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ollie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 1:08PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[Didn't Apple get a patent for inventing the "FANBOY" and "DOUCHEBAG" ? <br>IIRC Jobs was the mastermind behind the web's downfall.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ike Turner]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 2nd 2008 9:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/02/microsoft-patents-page-up-page-down-functionality-april-1st-s/</guid><description><![CDATA[And it appears you're infringing on their patents by being both.
