Hello,
I don't know which of you guys have followed it but Bill over at overunity has claimed to be revealing a solid state device that creates a steady input with no output. He plans to release it within the next couple weeks. Although the thread doesn't talk about the making of the device, it is an interesting read.
He plans to release the design of the device to the world. He holds a 'pending patent' which would secure the device from being stolen by other people/organizations that would want to suppress it. He wants to have a full video stream going during the release. He does plan to start a company to develop and market the device but claims anyone could build one in less than ten minutes for less than $20. The conversation got me thinking.
If you have an over-unity device that could literally change the world how would you release it? Would you patent it? Would you release it open source? Would you get a provisional patent to protect it for long of enough time to let it sink into the open source market (so others couldn't claim it before it was accepted as open source)? Would you try to make money on it? How much? How would you make the money? What would you do to protect yourself from non-moral rich people who would go to extreme measures to stop you and protect their income? Etc.
I have some ideas and will share but was wondering what you guys have thought through first. Happy OU hunting!
