The hard part would be to accept that invention actually can (theoretically) also take place outside the US.
Aye, and natives and foreigners alike wonder why people are leaving the U.S. in droves at times. There's very little innovation any more in the states, IMO. Before the days of the
greed (and that's what it is, really) of software patents (and probably hardware alike, although I'm really not sure on it), and other things of the like, the internet was truly free and software could be bought for a mere buck or two. Now, in the U.S., not only is it not free to roam about with, but it seems that with these things in place (such as the Apple/Samsung suit; there's many more right behind them as well), there is no innovation any more, at least not on the scale as it was when software was properly priced. It's a bummer, really. Things like this not only make the world flat (as in lack of humor, lack of innovation, etc.), but they also make it less nice, rather than more nice, to live in, in general.
I realize the UK has its own issues; however they nowhere near extend as far or as deep as these corp whores above.
The greed statement above should be obvious to you; however, to explain, what is the
one main thing that people create suits like this for in the end?
Money. Power. Selfishness. More money. The ''It's mine and you can't have it'' mentality. I don't think I need to explain any further. Instead of to be shared, the world in general with people has become ''Share this? I don't think so! It's mine!''
Edit: I wonder if that mentality comes from the fact that these days, there is very little
real industry in the states, other than war, so when we get something that is unique from war, we get greedy and selfish with it.
