I just found this patent that was granted to Gateway. It appears to be a patent for customizing a web site visitors preferences. I wonder who they'll sue first? Amazon and Ebay both have deep pockets. It looks like another case of an overzealous patent office. I've always been against the patenting of business practices.

There are several patents running around on customization of websites. I doubt any of these will be enforcable.
