Inventions - The Little Guy

Great great article in the NY Times today (is it just me or is the niche for newspapers really evolving into a sweet spot for authoriatarian indepth articles and leaving the breaking 'headlines' to the online press).

The article covers a number of topics, from government sponsored competitions to patents but part that really got me was the inventiveness of the little guy and how great ideas are definately still out there to be thought of and implemented.....oh of course and the rewards to be plundered :)
