P.S.=> It makes you wonder sometimes probably (it does me), just how far ahead things could REALLY be, if they opened up the 'patent safes' & "R&D" results to the public, instead of holding onto them for the "competitive edge" in business, only releasing them when & if needed to outdo the competition! apk
