The latest Microsoft patent

CNET: Microsoft checks off patent win

At first I thought this was a ridiculously broad patent. After reading the details I decided it was still broad and not really worthy of a patent, but it's definitely not the worst I've heard. The technology finds items in source code comments and extracts them and makes them into an external todo list. When you mark the item off of the todo list it changes the source code comment. Pretty nifty if you ask me.
