Microsoft Applies for "Device Manners Policy" Patent
Finally, finally! One of the most annoying things when seeing a movie in the theater is when some dimwit not only fails to turn off his cell phone, he answers it!

Microsoft has applied for a patent for what they call a "device manners policy" (DMP). This wireless zone-enforced protocol. It would that allow someone to turn certain device features off or on based on a specified policy.

After all, if you can't give people good manners, give it to their electronics.
