ACTV claims that Disney stole the idea for enhanced TV from them. The problem is, these guys are nuts. I met them when they came to our office, and they seemed be genuinely 100% clueless. Best of all, once the upper-level guys left, the worker bees said that even they figured the "HyperTV" patent was just a plan to shake down other companies.
I hate this crap.
