  Microsoft: 'Page Up' Patent Goes Beyond the Obvious
Time: 00:08 EST/05:08 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

In recent days, some tech bloggers and news sites created a bit of an uproar when they reported that Microsoft had applied for and received a patent for "page up" and "page down" functionality.

"Put this in the category of 'you gotta be kidding me,'" the GigaOm blog said.

"Yup, it's theirs now," said Gizmodo.com. "They called it. You can't touch it. And if anyone takes issue with the clear fact that Microsoft invented hitting a button to skip to the next page of text, you'll have to take it up with the principal and/or Microsoft's parents."
