Most of the worst software patents do exactly what the court said they couldn’t: present an idea (like hedging risk, one-click shopping, etc.) and say that, because it’s executed on a computer, or a generic piece of hardware, it is not just an idea anymore.

Does this mean Amazon will lose their one-click patent?

Hopefully. And refund all the money people lost due to being unable to implement the idea and fight it in court.
