Silly Software Patent #25: Browser-embedded News Feed

Al Gore may not have invited the Internet, but Steve jobs is now claiming to have invented Browser-embedded news feeds. In a newly-published patent application, Jobs et al claim on April 13, 2005 that they invented:

A user interface for enabling a user to switch between displaying a file and displaying a feed related to the file, the user interface comprising:

1) a content area, and

2) wherein the user interface has a first state and a second state, and

3) wherein when the user interface is in the first state, the content area displays the file, and

4) wherein when the user interface is in the second state, the content area displays the feed.

So Apple believes it owns any software program that allows a user to switch between an HTML window and an XML feed.  Great.  And they really think no one else did this before April 2005?

(Thanks theodp!)
