Patents don't kill other products, products do. I could make a patent for a magical frosting generator cannon but until it's on the shelves in a way affordable

Patents don't kill other products, products do. I could make a patent for a magical frosting generator cannon but until it's on the shelves in a way affordable to consumers, who cares?
I'm starting to realize more and more that my annoyance and frustration with HN is more related to the horrible state of the media's quality.

I could make a patent for a magical frosting generator cannon but until it's on the shelves in a way affordable to consumers, who cares? Captain Obvious to the rescue. The write of the article of course takes for given that when he talks about "a patent that could kill radio" he means "a patent that when developed into a product could kill radio". The second part is so obvious it doesn't even need to be stated.
