What Fruits Will Reduced R&D Bear For The U.S.?

lucabrasi999 writes "Here's an interesting commentary from Mike Tarsala at CBS.Marketwatch.com regarding R&D spending by U.S. companies as it compares to overseas firms. It compares today's US tech firms to the Big Three Automakers of the 70's, while saying the overseas tech firms are similar to the Toyotas and Hondas of the 70's. In other words, US Tech firms are about to be taught a lesson in global capitalism. I think Mike is 100% correct. What do you think?"

Probably not enormous, mutant, cybernetically-enhanced mega-fruit that dominate the landscape and roam the earth as the megafauna of a new age.

Nope. Not without research dollars. Just plain old boring apples and oranges and crap.

I told Bush not to lower the "Research" Slider

At only 500 test tubes per turn, we'll have to start stealing techs from the Psilons to keep pace.

What a newb.

Someone will then patent a "patent trial" and then put an end to it all.

No way. There's too much prior art.
