cant we start http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect effect?

Please some can someone with good knowledge of proxies and etc post it one 4Chan or Posterous or similar site and then post it as Question on http://metaoptimize.com/qa/

Which will get the word out to practitioners in this field ! I currently cant do that since i am on a *.edu ip

cant we just copy it and post it on a shady website such as 4chan or something. And then use site like Metaoptimizee.com/qa/ which is a machine learning Q&A website to publicize it!

dude that guy is surely bullshitting Description of an invention is actually the purpose of the patent! Patent is there to allow other to get knowledge about your invention while protecting your "Commercial" interests!

Any way you are currently on second page of Google Search! Better Post it on a .in Indian Web Address Patent laws in india do not allow software patents + no one gives a shit about C&D!

Create a Fake Email address and post it on a Posterous blog. And then we will take care that it is found out for perpetuity! Also we can try to destroy his page rank by making reference to his name!

WTF Just write at end your implementation:

License: Research Purpose Only

Any patented invention can be used for research pupose!

To quote from wikipedia: A patent being an exclusionary right does not, however, necessarily give the owner of the patent the right to exploit the patent.[13] For example, many inventions are improvements of prior inventions that may still be covered by someone else's patent.[13] If an inventor takes an existing, patented mouse trap design, adds a new feature to make an improved mouse trap, and obtains a patent on the improvement, he or she can only legally build his or her improved mouse trap with permission from the patent holder of the original mouse trap, assuming the original patent is still in force. On the other hand, the owner of the improved mouse trap can exclude the original patent owner from using the improvement.

Add few new features

this statement proved Gruber is an Complete Idiot of first order if he even cites 503 to be sales number.

YUP the same way more people use BBM for IM than Google Chat. (Oh they dont!!) And there are more Black berries than IPhones

I feel FaceTime is a step back. ITs like saying BBM (Black berry messenger) is awesome because you dont need to sign in, yet anyone would agree that GTalk or any decent Chat client trumps BBM. The whole purpose of creating an account is to allow portability. Tieing Facetime with Phone number and restricting it only on WiFi is a stupid.

sorry but so called developing world like india and africa has better cell connectivity than downtown new york (where i work) plus a cell phone with sms service coasts about 5$ month.

So you should rather work on mobile based implementation rather than creating a new device, also rather than web based tweet submission. you should use sms based submission.

but dont underestimate power of mobile in india africa and other places. mobile infrastructure is in very very good shape. though not 3g or data services.
