Some porn dude just received the patent for internet pop up ads. This guy can either make it difficult for popups to be used, or easy. I hope he does the right thing and makes it costly.

The patent is explicit, describing computer code that can "interact with the browser to modify or control one or more of the browser functions, such that the user is directed to a predesignated site or page, instead of accessing the site or page typically associated with the selected browser function."
