Msgraph, known for his postings of complex patent applications, posted two new threads at Search Engine Watch Forums.

The first I want to share with you is one that might make you cringe. The thread is titled, Patent App For Behavioral Monitoring Desktop Application. Msgraph explains that this is really scary stuff;

Imagine all of your actions being constantly monitored in order to build personalized search queries. Those last words you typed in a Word document or IM window. The e-mail you just sent.

Little brother. :)

The next thread msgraph started is on Gmail patent application requests, he titled the thread GMail Patent Application Bundle. It is a bundle of patent applications, because he linked to six different applications in that one thread. Here they are;

There is your light weekend reading for you.
