United States Patent: 6,727,830
It's official, Microsoft has patented the double-click. (Thanks to Metafilter for the link). Next on their list to patent: breathing and the color blue. I find this ironic, because I bet they stole the concept of double-clicking from Xerox, just like they stole their operating system. If you don't agree that there's something wrong with the US Patent system, you need to read Techdirt more!

Or Slashdot, which has been bashing the U.S. Patent System since I started reading it (1998).
