Yahoo también patenta estupideces

Yahoo no quiere ser menos y también patenta tonterías, como ya hizo Google días atrás patentando la publicidad en los feeds.
La patente se denomina User-specific vertical search

Techniques for performing user-specific searches are provided. A search engine receives a search query and performs processing to determine whether a user-specific search is indicated. If the search engine so determines, user-specific data is searched using user identity information to generate user-specific search results specific to the user identified by the user identity. Accordingly, the search results include information that is specific to the user determined from the user identity associated with the search query.
