I. Am. Speechless.<p>I'm no patent expert but to me... these patents are so vague and so obvious that I cannot believe they've been granted in the first place. And secondly, that Yahoo is actually delusional enough to think they'll hold up in court. These are "glitter patents" at best. Things you patent to look strong in front of investors. But they amount to nothing when it comes to actually trying to enforce them. Then again, with our "great patent system with terrible enforcement of rules" who knows...
