So apparently a genomics company patented already existing genes based on the idea that they "could isolate" them. They were chiefly using this for exclusive rights to a test for cancer. Well, that sort of immorality has been overturned. Yeesh, what a horrible thing to do.
While they didn't excercise it, I can just imagine someone discovering they have these genes, and on top of the cancer issues, their parents get sued for copyright infringement. This is the problem with patenting the fundamental recipe of life, it's just too fundamental.
Specifically the search box, where instead of having to find a program threw a maze of menus I can just type in it's name. I have a XP machine also, when I get on that one I'm like "man this sucks! I have to actually click on shit now."
