Google has too much money, too much time and too much employee deadwood on its hands. Why would anyone even bother patenting this? It would have required the employee to ask their boss who would then have to pass it up the chain of command

Here we go again, the same old corporate mantra trotted out once more, about maximizing shareholder value, to excuse a company's unethical behaviour. So why doesn't Google and every other company move to Dubai where corporation ta
