In >fact, >they may BEAT the first company to market. Uh huh... and this, instead of keeping things at the MINIMUM would open the doors for CREATIVE COMPETITION, as well as business competition... In other words... they really would have to have a better box, because having the same thing wouldn't really be any better... this would force companies to actually seek out better ideas even MORE to compete. Besides... how many really "new" ideas are out there these days... wouldn't that be a poll... see why not pool the entire internet on a website and call it NEWIDEAS.COM and have the "end user Joe Shmoe" put up every friggin idea they can... so that the folks with the $$$ can look at it (since they're too busy watching the books to have good ideas), and freely pick and choose from the gargantuan list of KILLER IDEAS that the end users continually provide? Don't get me wrong, I understand competition and I understand manufacturing difficulties... that's why we have patents and copyrights, etc., to protect people with new ideas. I have an awesome new invention for guitarists, but I can't get anyone to manufacture it, and I can't afford to do it myself. I've had it for nearly 8 years, but can't find a way to get it to the public... it's not always easy, even though every person who sees this thing says "BANK, dude!" I guess all the companies can cry "lack of funds", just like me... but I think it's a little different when you actually have the ability to create something and don't, just to chince a little more profit out of the deal, than when you actually cannot pull together the means in the first place to get started.
