[gull] Network Associates is granted broad antispam patent

[Olivier Bornet]

Hello,

un autre brevet qui a été accepté récemment: le double-click... Par
Micro$oft. La news sur slashdot:

  kaluta writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Microsoft
  was granted a patent for double-clicking on April 27. The patent in
  question is 6,727,830 and says, amongst other stuff: 'A default
  function for an application is launched if the button is pressed for a
  short, i.e., normal, period of time. An alternative function of the
  application is launched if the button is pressed for a long, (e.g., at
  least one second), period of time. Still another function can be
  launched if the application button is pressed multiple times within a
  short period of time, e.g., double click'. So this is what we have to
  look foward to in the E.U. now?"

En lisant le texte du brevet, il me semble qu'il couvre aussi les clicks
avec durée... Voir (désolé pour ce long URL):

Bonne journée sans double-click. :-(
