patenting is turning out to be more and more evil. It stiffles<br>
innovation and competition.<br>
Apple patented multitouch, that is the sole reason that no other<br>
smartphone in the US comes with it. With open source and a some<br>
flashing of this smartphones, any other smart phone will have such<br>
features.<br>
Patents are evil, Apple patented multitouch for the iPhone, therefore<br>
Apple is evil, do not buy evil products.<br>
let the Geek inherit the Earth.<br>

--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>God is not an excuse for lack of discipline<br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br>Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#39;t feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.<br>
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others. <br>
