FT, The difference between Edison and Tesla and Gates and his would-be competitors is that Gates does not take another's embryonic idea and improve on it and run with it. Gates takes down working and viable technology, along with thriving companies and the people these companies employ. Gates is a thief and a plunderer--pure and simple. Holly

FT, I am aware of the work of Nikola Tesla. Much of his work was plagiarized by others including important radio patents stolen by Marconi. He is one of the most brilliant minds and greatest inventors of all time, but clearly a poor businessman. I find it astounding that his generators are still producing electricity at Niagra falls after more than 100 years. I wonder why he is rarely mentioned in science texts and given his due credit. This is a great injustice. Who do you admire more, Tesla or Edison? Del
