<i>&gt; Neither ideas or disclosure of ideas are in short supply in the computer world today.</i><p>Personally, I don&#x27;t see much innovation in the software industry, mostly just reinvention of the same wheels over and over and over in slightly different contexts. Most of the really innovative stuff is locked away in various data centers and all we get are tantalizing glimpses when their developers deign to publish a paper or a measly blog post.
