How general can an idea be before it is no longer original?  Where is the line between what is patentable and non-patentable?  There is a deep gray mist that is being explored more and more by the new scope of digital technology.  When a company is reserved a human natural gesture as their own intellectual property it has gone a bit too far.  Ideally we should be able to determine that the act of breathing is a common idea.  Too bad, because I was really hoping to profit from that.

I often find I get frustrated with the smallest delay in the software I use.  Whether it be native applications or web-based applications, I can't tolerate any hesitations.  This is one of my greatest pet peeves.  With the new advances in technology and fiber optics, this should really boost the speed at which content can be delivered to the user.  Google is really pushing the service to new levels and this goes right along with Google's business model of delivering services over the internet.  The current infrastructure available is a limitation to the possibilities of advancement.
