Patents

[new_age_reject]

On the back of the new, and frankly ridiculous, patent proposed by Nintendo, I was wondering what the escapist thought were some of the best and some of the worst patents in history.
There are quite a fair few out there so get digging!

For my choice:
Worst - The comb-over... yep, somebody patented the comb-over.
Best - The new one for an invention I am creating, in reaction to Nintendo, that will punch gamers in the dick every time they lose and ragequit.

Worst: The DVD rewinder.
Best: sliced Bread.

And who shall buy this magical dick-punching device that you suggest? Surely, a man is not wont to sully his twig and berries with bruises unbeholden to fornication.

Every serious gamer should buy it.
Gaming is after all SRS BSNS!

Agreed.
Pre-sliced > Whole loafs.

It's basically free money for him.

Obviously it would be bundled with the console. We'd also call it something innocuous like "Feedback-Induced Intelligent Behaviour Adaptation System".

All of the patents are bad... Actually, the entire idea of patents is bad.

Although if I have to...

Worst: The DVD rewinder.
Best: sliced Bread.

This.

I think it will be a smash hit among sadists
