Ford's latest innovation in mirror technology!

[noobie]

yeah. I'm not kidding you. They made an announcement today about this innovative technology.
Sticking a second convex mirror in the corner of your side mirror.

Now how many of you that doing that for years could have made some serious cash patenting the idea! ^_^

Since when you could buy a product and patent it?

Well actually you can do anything in the united states now if you have enough money. They are about to pass a series of laws to protect companies from any lawsuits resulting from bad patent filing.

But, some people actually bought a small convex mirror and stuck it onto their existing side mirror themselves.That's what could be patented. ALthough, of course you realise I was merely being facetious.
