Sitter Downers
I was watching an old Stooge short from 1937 called the Sitter Downers. the basic premise was to get the fathers permission to marry his daughters, the Stooges were going to stay in his house and never leave, until the father gives in.
The new Honeywell Patent lawsuits against the Thermostat maker Nest have the same flavor. Honeywell has had the patents for years and has never (and probably WILL never) make a device the utilizes those patents.
So the consumer gets it in the shorts again.
Sigh
