- silexia 2y agoI'd love to see the entire patent system abolished. Ideas are worthless, execution is everything.
- userbinator 2y agoMany of those may be actually getting close to expiry if not expired already - the technology is over 20 years old by now.
- unsupp0rted 2y agoI remember doing a report in high school chemistry class, 75 years ago, on the promise of e-ink technology.
- choeger 2y agoYou talked about e-ink in high school in 1950?
- pentamassiv 2y agoThat must have been a typo, sarcasm or trolling. Looking at the users other submissions, they seem to have parents [1], go to the gym [2] and use Tinder [3] which seems unlikely if they are ~90 years old.

- unsupp0rted 2y agoIt was an exaggeration. High school was decades ago, but it feels like a million years. We thought e-ink tech would be widespread within a handful of years. Little did we know.
- bonestamp2 2y agointeresting, what kinds of things are being held back in the meantime? Or, just price/competition?
