Where small amounts of rights are allocated innovation is abounding (such as in the cell phone segments), when property rights are almost full conveyed (for example in the junk bands where regulation happens by way of controlling the physical space and what devices are allowed in that physical space) innovation has gone nuts.

[Crave: The gadget blog] Will Intel and USB make fiber optics mainstream? | Deep Tech ...: Right now I have to say I am ready for light peak but they will need to make the light peak enabled devises work in a USB 2.0 as well. such as if you go out and get a phone that plugs into the computer over USB 3.0 but your computer only has USB 2.0 now you can't transfer data between the two, big problem so something must be done to allow either to be used, now I understand that a 3.0 wire would not be able to transfer data into a 2.0 port, what I think needs to happen is the devices need to except both usb 2 and 3, and the computer manufacturers will need to immediately start adding 3.0 ports along side the 2.0 ports at least until everybody can get there hands on a computer with a 3.0 port which may take a few years

[Depleted Cranium] Depleted Cranium » Blog Archive » Compressed nitrogen to replace ...: There’s another problem, as well.   If compressed gas is going to be used for power storage and transmission, it’s going to have to be at enormous pressure.   After all, compressed gas doesn’t carry that much energy as is, and if the pressure is not very very high, the energy will be negligible.  This means the pipelines will need to be capable of containing huge amounts of pressure.   Any weakening or even the tiniest leak is going to be a deal breaker.    If the pipe is corded or has any degradation of joints or gaskets, it will either explode or allow the pressure to escape with an ear-splitting hiss.
