Tesla was a much brighter person than Page gives him credit for. Edison never paid Tesla for the work Tesla did, even though Edison promised. This makes Edison a liar. Unfortunately in today's economy, Page is saying that liars are the best innovators, which is itself a lie. <BR/><BR/>Financiers are "headless horsemen" when it comes to raw genius.<BR/><BR/>Exotic_Tropical_Plunge_Crushes_Flotation_CartridgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680411562873444681.post-52304151935630533602008-05-04T22:11:00.000-04:002008-05-04T22:11:00.000-04:00One of my favorite facts about Edison is that, not only did he invent the light bulb... he invented General Electric!<BR/><BR/>That's the reason I was happy to name our new Georgia Tech Edison Fund after him.Stephen Fleminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17768538322937965718noreply@blogger.com
