You didn't read the article, did you? Try this experiment. Sit down
and write a C implementation of the abs function (portability is not
required, so you can make assumptions about things that are left up to
the implementation in the C standard if you wish). There is about a
99.9% chance you won't come anywhere near anything covered by that
patent.
It's about a very specific, very clever, way to implement abs.
