I don't understand how some of these are even patentable. The use of an output device? Really?

Does the linking patent apply only to phones? If not, I've been in violation of this one several times in the past.

If you've written a line of code you've violated several software patents. The question is will anyone come after you.

That's why the system is so ridiculous and broken.
