[citation][nom]Crush3d[/nom]Everyone has to start playing the game and patent anything and everything before their competitors do. Patent shapes, colors, patterns, buttons.. EVERYTHING.If you try to play nice now, you won't be playing at all in a few years.[/citation]
Google is web based company. If it does not patent web based funktions, somene else will and forse Google down... But yeah, it is stupid that you can patent something like wysigwy...
There should be lwas that protect against patenting these kinds of thing: wysugwy, rentagle, small computers that are narrower in the other end, and so on...
