    Hollywood doesn't make a profit. Just ask any studio accountant~

    You are correct. Funny, I'm in a software union and I work 40 hour weeks and make a livable wage. I find that when paid by the hour the amount of extra work you must do after 40 hours approaches zero.

    Did you know most software developer who are paid salary shouldn't be?

    ": Apple did not invent rounded corners."
    They where the foist to use it in a tablet. The type of patent they got for that is to prevent other people from making a device that looks the same to ride off Apple coat tails.
    granted, there shouldn't be design patetnt, their should be design 'trademarks'.

    Anything that you need you hands free to do.

    Running fibre through an aircraft? you can look at the design and pathway and still run fiber.

    A doctor could have your vital view able without looking up from the surgery.
    A Juggler could get an audience count while still tossing 9 torches around.

    You can get info on someone without taking your eyes off them.
    I can look at a recipe while having both hands covered in oil.
    If it was just like a smart phone, but you don't need to actually take out your smartphone to do anything, wouldn't that have value?

    "When the inventor can't easily explain what the best uses for their invention are, "

    In the hardware industry, the best application seldom come from the company that developed it. Best game seldom come the the console makers, then best application for the iPad didn't come from Apple, and so on.

    BUt laws gte passed based on alarmist media stories.

    The number of deaths comes from a report where they assume a 1/3 where on their cell phone, because that how many statistically, have a cell phone.
    That just one example.
