Pretty much all software patents boil down to "method of organizing information".

I'll just file a patent on a business method profiting from patents on methods of organizing information.

Sure, they did it. But they didn't do it on a computer. Then on the internet. Then on a mobile device. They are all completely different issues, worthy of an extra patent or two.

I am just waiting for the next big thing, so I can patent everything all over again. Do you think iPads count as computers or a completely new device?

My first reaction was the same. However, I bet Apple tried to patent these things, too. So it would be sort of balancing justice - you want software patents, let them bite you...
