IBM sues Amazon for patent infringement.
Unbelievable that IBM actually holds (and is enforcing) these patents.

* US 5,442,771 - Storing Data in an Interactive Network.
* US 7,072,849 - Presenting Advertising in an Interactive Service.
* US 5,446,891 - Adjusting Hypertext Links with Weighted User Goals and Activities.
* US 5,319,542 - Ordering Items Using an Electronic Catalogue.
