I don't really understand how things like popups and subdomains can be patented by people so many years after they have been created, by someone who had nothing to do with their idea or creation.

Is there no one in the patent office who is at all up to date with technology? How can they approve patents on things they do not fully understand, shouldn't there be someone to at least search for prior art as far as technology is concerned? It's not like the internet was a new thing in 1999.
