Omg patent the 0 and the 1, they must be crazy. Sell their use for 10cents a piece, they sure know how to make money.

The licensing fees we'd have to pay Microsoft every day would be approximately 327,000 times the total net worth of this company

LOL!!!

"If this patent holds up in federal court, Apple will have no choice but to convert to analog," said Apple interim CEO Steve Jobs, "and I have serious doubts whether this company would be able to remain competitive selling pedal-operated computers running software off vinyl LPs."

HAHAHA

sshh - while your at it Billy, patent the alphabet. I don't think the 0/1 thing will hold up in court.

Microsoft has not yet announced whether it will charge a user fee to individuals who wish to engage in such mathematically rooted motions as walking, stretching and smiling.

lol...great fake article...the only sad thing is that if apple and other companies manage to really make a run at microsoft and get a good hold in the market, gates might just consider it!
