I discovered this through German news (http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/amaz ... 68464.html). Amazon has basically just patented photographing something in front of a seamless white background:
http://www.diyphotography.net/can-close ... ess-white/ - YOU CAN CLOSE THE STUDIO, AMAZON PATENTS PHOTOGRAPHING ON SEAMLESS WHITE
and
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014 ... ch-patent/ - Amazon’s latest patent is sillier than the peanut butter sandwich patent - Groundbreaking process includes angled lights, elevated platform, white backdrop.
In other news, it looks like Apple is buying BEATS headphones.
What Will They Patent Next?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

I own the rights to breathing. Each time you all breath, you have to pay me $1. Fact!
