Monika’s Pensieve

The world of software patents is a bit like Monthy Python - the reason why Apple, Google and Microsoft have been hit by a lawsuit is that they use thumbnails to preview files like images and video in their applications.

Some of these are actually very useful - at least I think so ;-P I always thought it would be cool to take my laptop out camping for example, but it never seemed realistic because how on Earth would I power it? With some of the gadgets there it’s absolutely possible ;)
