Re-Packagers of Others' Inventions

Weren't Edison, Gates, and Jobs sort of all re-packagers of others' inventions. Not judging. Just saying.

Edison took what others had done, but made it commercial and marketed the h out of it. So did Gates. You could say the same about Ray "McDonald's" Kroc, for that matter. Success goes not to the first but to the canniest. Or something like that.

Ed Anger: He tried over 2,000 materials to find his first light bulb's filament....

My favorite: hairs from one of his lab guys' red beard.
