    Default Intel patents "Multiplying two numbers"

    Ever seen the U.S. patent index? You find some really bizarre things there - Intel filed a patent yesterday (4/19/11) simply called "multiplying two numbers." Yes, the thing you learned in grade school...they actually filed a patent for it.

    Interesting read though: http://patft1.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-...S=PN/7,930,337

    tl;dr: Intel files patent for multiplying two numbers together, and this would apply to enhancing future cryptography models.

    Not sure if we can patent physiological functions but I call "bi-pedal movement"

    Anyway this isn't as absurd as the Spanish woman who filed a claim to become the owner of the sun. Yes..our sun, a celestial body in our galaxy...
