So go ahead, patent your R functions and algorithms ( The video shows one important tool) while using the tool at http://google.com/patents to search for prior patents.
Incidentally YouTube has a great feature for promoted videos only open for USD ( incidentally my 2007 email feature is listed as INR so I am still waiting for the free customer support at G Inc to reply that “hey, I can now pay in USD so let me in”.)
Neat Concept, anyways!
