    I didn't know he was celebrate for his entire life because he believed it would interfere with his work.

    What a shame he didn't know the joys.


    He was pretty phenomenal and it's sad how he died.


    His rivalry with Edison reminds me of a conversation I heard happened between Jobs and Gates earlier in their careers.


    Jobs tells Gates ...


    "we're better than you" and Gates replies...


    "it doesn't matter".

      Now that is some seriously freaking awesome stuff, 3M. Thanks for that link!

      Tesla was a tragedy - the suppression of his work is even a bigger tragedy. One that has cost the whole world to keep a few in luxury. We need some independent companies to spring up here and there so we can have energy without strings and damage attached.
