need someone to develop this....

[Al Johnson]

As I understand it this part of the thread has wandered OT onto the 
generalities of public disclosure and its effect on patentability. There has 
been no suggestion that anyone should knowingly try to patent somebody else's 
idea. The shake-to-pair video is credited to Rene Mayrhofer and Hans 
Gellersen at Lancaster University, and doesn't seem related to Shoogle. For 
all I know Heikki Soerum had the idea independently.
