    You know, this is exactly the senario you would see if someone from our time traveled back 30 years and tried to cash in on things they knew were going to happen. This my Gizpeeps, is proof of time travel.

    @NurseDave: That was my thought as well.



    I could totally see myself traveling back 30 years to patent something early then run out of cash and can't keep the patent valid.

    Another case of a design being too far ahead of its time.

    Contrary to your earlier assertion, Kane Kramer is not the unluckiest Briton; that distinction is held by the gentleman in "Let It Be" who telephoned the constabulary regarding the noise and had the rooftop performance shut down.



    The 30 January 1969 performance was the Beatles' last live performance and the man who called the police is shown in the film footage. He, not Kramer, is the unluckiest Briton.

    @OMG! Toesies on the Nosies!: Actually, I'd say he's quite lucky. He was able to get the Beetles off of his roof.

    @OMG! Toesies on the Nosies!:

    "In the end the policeman, Number 503 of the Greater Westminster Council, made his way round the back. ‘You have to stop!’ We said, ‘Make him pull us off! This is a demo, man!’ I think they pulled the plug, and that was the end of the film." - Paul McCartney

    Not a bad design, actually. I bet he wishes he sold it to big tech before his patent expired.
