Is "on a computer" the real problem here? The problem I'm seeing is that we have things like displaying a linked list, which is trivial, being awarded patents by appending "on a mobile device" or "on a web page" or "On a payment system." I just don't think its possible to have software patents that make sense. Abolishment of software patents seems to be the only sane move here.
