Bull****.




No ****, it is the thruth.
Having mass usage in a country does not give you the right to rape the inventors.
Many of US fortunes in technlogies are due to european governments shortsight...
If in Italy the newborn electronics industry had got the needed support now the history of computer industry would be much different.

That's true. He even got a temporary one-year patent for it, but didn't have the money to make it permanent or renew it afterwards.

Telephone - Meucci
Computers - This is not a simple answer, it depends on how you take the concept... So it might be Blaise Pascal, John Presper Eckert & John W. Mauchly or Even Von Braun
Cars - Not sure, but i tend to agree with your source
Nuke - Albert Einstein and Enrico Fermi
Airplane - Orville Wright and Wilbur Wright
ARPANet - US DOD

BTW, most in not all of these things have to thank another invention: Electricity and the first battery, by Alessandro Volta.

Alright, I'll shut up about US/European relations. Wasn't even the one who brought it up.

But yeah. Microsoft deserves whatever they get. I am of the opinion that huge multinationals are intrinsicly evil, unless they prove otherwise. And very few do, so I support efforts to give 'em a legal wedgie.

LOL Well, in a lot of these cases, it's like Television.

TV was invented by a Scot, no doubt about it, however, television was enhanced and it's full potential realised by an American.

This often happens.
