How is this patentable? Isn't this just API stuff?

  Almost everything is patentable. The real test is holding the patent up in court.

    >The real test is holding the patent up in court. Or threatening enough people to sue them for umpteen fantastillion dollars unless they pay you ransom money^W^W licensing fees. Remind me why we still have this fucked up system?

    I assume this will only apply to companies in the US. Unless your name is Kim dotcom

    A test I expect this will fail. Fairly sure there's some prior art for this.

    I guess going by the apple-samsung lawsuit, getting your patent validated in court seems to depend a lot on random chance as well.
