OT: Intel CEO economic observations

Otellini's remarks during dinner at the Technology Policy Institute's
Aspen Forum here amounted to a warning to the administration officials and
assorted Capitol Hill aides in the audience: unless government policies
are altered, he predicted, "the next big thing will not be invented here.
Jobs will not be created here."

The U.S. legal environment has become so hostile to business, Otellini
said, that there is likely to be "an inevitable erosion and shift of
wealth, much like we're seeing today in Europe--this is the bitter truth."

IDK about inventing big things, but fundamental research seems pretty
healthy here in the ol' U.S. of A.
Some quick googling: since 2008 the U.S. has won 14 nobel prizes (wikipedia
on nobel winners by country), or about .05 per milliion population.
Nobels per million pop rounded to one sig fig for
Germany: .03
U.K.: .05
France: .05
We're still comparable with the big Euro countries.
If you go back a century and count all nobels and divide by present
population (not such a great way to calculate it, but whaddya want from me?)
you get
U.S. 1
Fr .9
Ger 1.3
U.K. 1.9

Looks like we're actually kind of catching up and passing Europe.


And as you will also discover, turning that into product will be done
