AJAX Patented. WTF?

Tomorrow I am filing a patent for:

• driving a car to work
• eating breakfast
• breathing fresh air
• sleeping

…. you name it. I’ll hold the whole country hostage

Update (2/23):  Everyone responds in shock.

• USPTO issues patent to Neil for Internet (Al Gore is pissed)
• Oops, AJAX Patented
• PTO Grants another absurd license
• Don Dodge Daily Digest- Patent Lunacy
• Will I Be Able To Keep My Ajax Sites Running?
• Um, doesn’t this patent have prior art?

Update (2/24):  Rich Media patent hype - is AJAX safe?  – good article, originally showed up here as a trackback. Neil, where are your manners, trackback without a link?  I’m deleting the trackback, but since the article is worth a read, I’ll point to it – with nofollow.
