Gemstar must die!!! they are evil!!! How could they think that they could patent a grid!!! Grids have been around forever... (eg... Excel, Visicalc, the ancient Egyptians...) I'd hate to own their stock now...

HALLE-friggin-lujah! At least the courts saw thought GemStar. Hey I thought of a program grid when I was 8 before I ever saw one printed. Everyone is infringing on my idea. Right?

That's good. It seems Dish is getting out of hot water with several groups or people right now. LOL. Who's next?

Dish stock was up about $2 after hours (they need to recover more than that). GemStar stock was halted. :D
