Who knew !? Man - that *crap* has been going on forever. You think it's a coincidence that there's a childrens play area only in a McDonalds ? I've yet to see one in another fast food restaurant.
By the way, in my opinion, business practice patents are *complete* boloney. Oh, so I decide to resell widget X by running around screaming and naked, patent my running around screaming and naked while selling X, and now, voila, you can't do that. Oookkk...
There is one at my local Burger King.
AOL filed patent violations for buddy list and instant message. I don't believe they won, so I doubt Netflix will get far. Otherwise you have a monopoly situation; ie: only one company could make fast food burgers delivered through a drive through window.
Saw a children's play place at Chick-Fil-A and I think one at Burger King.
