If you're in the Bay Area go to the Computer History Museum and inquire with a Mr. Ted Nelson. People have been singing this gospel for years and now that, "everyone's shit out of ideas" suddenly the Bigs get wise to, "humane UI patterns?" I don't buy it. Specifically summoning a text prompt with a UI short-hand is copyrightable; especially if you're Nintendo or Google or Apple. Go ask Larry Tesler if Ted Nelson isn't taking appointments.
