Nice try, Amazon: 'single click'-payment to obviously, patent-> > the register
"By the online-retail payment system giant Amazon patent, the European Patent Office (EPO) has decided, too obvious."Amazon had hoped for, how, who their customers for products by a single Web page-click numbers patent logged.

"The price of a traditional PCR machine is around $ 3,000." So, do people in garages have large PCR machines? Not really. Howabout high school or middle school teachers? Nope.
Howabout of smaller medical test labs or Labs in India or China? Nope. Even some large bio-labs try their luck on eBay. We set out to change. "Josh and I OpenPCR a prototype in about 4 months ago - it was a lot of fun." In May we the first prototype of the OpenPCR all a bunch of crazy people on Kickstarter introduced, 158 people gave us a total of $12,121. With, that we developed and produced a repeatable, works all-the time device - it has a lot of hard work. "Now we are ready and willing to share!"
