National Association of Broadcasters Calls for Closure of Patent Office, Proclaims that “All the world’s inventions have happened, nothing is left”

 
(Tom Galvin) April 1, 2011 – In a stunning development today, the National Association of Broadcasters proclaimed that 2011 as the “End of the Discovery Age” and said that there was nothing left to invent. NAB also called for the immediate closure of the Patent Office, since there will be no further innovation in the world.
 
“NAB has a long history of supporting innovation. After all, it was our industry that came up with the Yule Log and Infomercial,” said NAB spokesman Diade Inocente. “But after a long review, we’ve come to the conclusion with the development of the DVR, there is really nothing left in the world to invent, so let’s just stop trying.”
 
NAB also called for the Obama Administration to retract its National Broadband Plan, which it unveiled to great fanfare last year. “We don’t need a broadband plan. Does anyone really think there will an iPhone 5? C’mon!,” said NAB’s Inocente. Instead, NAB suggested that 2011 devices, programming and features be locked.
 
“We have enough programming  to last us 500 years,” added Inocente. “Between ‘Murder She Wrote,’ ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ reunion shows and “Kitchen Nightmares’ we have enough quality programming to last forever. And that doesn’t even include the ground-breaking news coming from local television outlets.”
 
When asked about the need for more broadband to support exciting new devices such as tablets and smart phones, NAB’s Inocente chortled: “Let’s be real. What are you going to do with them? We all know the Internet is a fad, just look at those dot-com stocks from ten years ago. The smart money is in Univision, TNT and other companies that are leading the cutting edge of communications.”
 
“Sure Apple got lucky once or twice, but it’s not like you can go on the Internet and watch videos of anything you want whenever you want,” said Inocente. “And anyway, if you could, what would you even call it? Youtube?”

Who would have believed it that the patent reform may finally pass. As usual, however, the devil will be in the details; the first-to-file, prior user, and post-grant issues may still prove somewhat thorny.

When people find themselves troubled, they often turn to something in comfort. Sometimes it doesn't make any sense and they will often do something drastically opposite and turn to something they usually don't do.

Try self-exploring yourself. This way, I don't think you'll be bored anymore and you'll begin enjoying certain things that you like. I'm sure you could develop hobbies if you'd spend more time being active and less time thinking about depressions.

you will never have anything to complain about this Monster Beats Studio. Sound quality is absolutely out of this world, with the open-backed design adding to the comfort and overall qualitative value of any type of music you listen to. You could call these the 'audiophile Headphones Review of the future'.

To basically sum it up, expansionists wanted to enlarge the US as much as was logically possible. Imperialists were more concerned with grabbing as much territory in any part of the world that could possibly benefit the US economically and increase its political and diplomatic clout internationally.

I really like boroughs like Barnet, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Brent or Harrow, they're central and convenient, something I would recommend.

With all the romanticism evident in the upcoming gowns for 2011, don't worry that all the petals and flowers mean less sparkle. You will be seeing Swarovski crystals stitched into the center of tiny floral appliques, as well as larger crystals used to embellish the entire gown, from neck to hem.

For affection, we have persistent think our lives to later, scars, it's all so calm, learned to lonely learned was not do. The end of the story is often so sad...... We prefer to love each other in the injury, is not willing to take the love in the heart, perhaps because they say we're not sure whether we have each other's heart, so we always in conflicts put their love lost! Imperceptible to age to get married. But at this time we really have not in love!
