Mule Radio (I work there, you may know us as home of John Gruber's The Talk Show) donated $1000 to the EFF to help fight this patent. You can, too.

On another note, it's nice to see Nathan Myhrvold getting called out as the patent troll he so clearly is, despite the bogus persona of a modern renaissance man he so carefully cultivates.

Well, he's actually both. I've been a critic of Myhrvold for almost as long as Intellectual Vultures... ahem, Ventures, has existed and I am very against software patents but there is no denying he is very smart, very talented and quite adept as a practitioner of quite a few activities. Him being a patent troll, as distasteful as I find that, doesn't negate the other stuff.
