this particular chap invented the small flat transistors used in flat screen tv's, components that made fax's and photocopying possible, the batteries used in laptops, modern mobile phones and the toyota prious hybrid car, all recent electric vehicle prototypes/ production models of the past few years have used the same batteries... you muppet. Have respect for a very old man...

I had the pleasure of being employed by Stan for 7 years.He is the most intelligent, caring CEO I've ever met. No deductions for our healthcare, Stan paid that. Wall St. came in and pushed him out the door. At 84 years old he had better attendance than most of his employees. He has over 400 patents and you need a prototype? The man is brilliant!
