This sounds really corny, but I think it would be awesome to be super rich, and give money to people who have great ideas, and watch them succeed... Knowing you'll probably never be mentioned, but knowing that you helped them accomplish their dream... awesome...]]>May 5th 2006 10:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/james-father-of-the-lcd-fergason-gets-500k-award-defends-pat/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/05/james-father-of-the-lcd-fergason-gets-500k-award-defends-pat/

Which is why you're posting in comment section here and not inventing some world changing device that can save billions in energy costs alone, not to mention function better than existing display technology, and reduce the amount of materials (many toxic) used to manufacture it. But you go ahead and keep playing "scratch-offs" maybe you'll win it big and keep it all to yourself.

I hope he's not defending the latter, because there is a special kind of hell reserved for those who promote software patents.]]>May 6th 2006 7:19PM
