"" Shuster does have time on his side, Aharonian said. The pop-up patent was filed in 1998, and under patent law, challengers would have to show similar technology being used prior to 1997. ""

Once a crook, always a crook...
Next thing you know, he'll be claiming that he invented the internet and that he and his wife were the basis for 'Love Story'. :moon:

Can someone help me out and explain how you can get a patent on something that is written right into javascript? Wouldn't Sun or whoever wrote it have the patent on it? All your doing is using a command, "window.open"... that is like claiming you have the patent on power switches because you turned your PC on first.

Serious horseshit.

Robin Nixon was the first to build a program around pop-up consoles, but I remember others using pop-ups before abc-web.com.
Brian Shuster is trying to become another Acacia. Hope he never needs anything from anyone in the business.

Yup. Nice consoles :-)

Haha. I just followed a link to Spanker's "Win a date with Spanker" contest from that page.

I think Torone sums it up very well..... probably a pearl.

I will change it a little...
