"methods for enabling users to fetch items"
hahahaha... I can't help but chuckle when reading these. Why don't they own the patents for "displaying discrete items of information in a linear fashion", "entering personal information into a computer using a hand operated alphabet device" and "methods for communicating one's emotional state electronically to friends and acquaintances"? Hmm... that last one might actually work.
Of course facebook has little choice but to countersue, but I'll be happy when the ongoing three ring patent circus (or is it freakshow?) is put to rest.
