    Can we get a link to the open source materials, or am I just missing it?

    What is really too bad, is that this didn't happen until election day. I'd have built one of these into a backpack so that I could shut off video of the debates in public places while I was eating.

    Why did his patent attorney's brother (and not his patent attorney) convince him to get a patent? And contrary to popular view, patents do not "[stifle] 'the creativity that patents were supposed to encourage'."

    @ZAPPO1123: You're adding an 's after attorney that isn't actually there. His brother is the patent attorney in question.

    @bobojuice: Sorry, I just figured it took a truly brave man to admit that one's own brother is a lawyer.
