Nice definition harvesting, jerkwad.

No, you are wrong.

Something new. I taker an mp3 player, then make a different way to control it, that IS something new.

What you, and others' seem to think is that something new means something no one has ever thought of and is built in complete isolation and doesn't use anything anyone else has ever used before.

It was nice of you to leave off the other definition that prove you are wrong. from the same good damn site:

innovate [nvet]
vb
to invent or begin to apply (methods, ideas, etc.)
[from Latin innovre to renew, from in-2 + novre to make new, from novus new]
innovative , inno

and the from oxford:

Text size: A
A
innovate(innovate)
Syllabification:OnOff
Pronunciation:/invt, /
verb
[no object]
make changes in something established, especially by introducing new methods, ideas, or products:
the company's failure to diversify and innovate competitively
[with object] introduce (something new, especially a product):
innovating new products, developing existing ones

Apple innovates.

and stop using 'ergo' wrong. The first part need to actually be true.

but philanthropy and plutocratic excess are, equally, signals of money that isn't being invested in R&D or being left in customers' hands with lower prices...

Although I have no particular fondness for Bill Gates, it's fair to say that his money is his own, and he is entitled to do whatever he pleases with it. Neither the corporation he founded, nor its shareholders have any claim on it, and he is under no obligation to ask for your opinion on the matter.

Let us use this logic in a historical context:

"Although I have no particular fondness for Blackbeard, it's fair to say that his money is his own, and he is entitled to do whatever he pleases with it."
