one more reason not to pay your bills

Do you pay your bills?

When you do, are you in 'direct control of the amount to be paid and the payment date'?

Congratulations - you've just infringed on Microsoft's newest patent.

Yep - Microsoft has patented Paying Bills. Actually, it's more of a 'managing bills' thing. They also patented IM Invisibility, which Yahoo! will probably challenge soon. (You mean you didn't know that just because you think you're talking to Aunt Alice, you could really be talking to a 15-year-old pimply brat? Wake up and join the 21st century, people.)

Yet another friendly reminder that Redmond wants to rule the world - as if you didn't already know.
