It isn't their pov. 90% of computing patents are basically 'X on a computer'

Eg the Amazon 1 click buy patent

Sure, things within the discipline of computing can be patented, but imagine if somebody just patented the entire discipline of computing.

Somehow 1 click buy doesn't quite feel like it's in the same category as humanity conquering the skies.
