I've always found it interesting that the most talented people I've known have usually been the ones that were least interested in profit. What ever happened to science for the very sake of discovery and innovation? America has become a place where people feel that they should be compensated for every misfortune and expect property rights for every token thought. In the end, people that are willing to sacrifice everything for what they believe have the most to give. It sickens me that someone would rather restrict an advancement rather than risk not benefiting from it. 12 years ago as an undergrad I stood in awe in front of a piece of ENIAC (UofM EECS lobby) at 2am. I ended up "borrowing" (statute expired) a bulb, which I still have (I think LEDs weren't yet in production when ENIAC was built). I think Mauchley would have smiled!
