Big Ideas to Deliver

New Yorker article: In the Air: Who says big ideas are rare?, by Malcolm Gladwell. A view of Nathan Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures company.

Nice article in the New Yorker's 'wordy narrative' tradition about the vagaries of invention, and how to make a business of it. Also, a mention of the Gray-Bell patent primacy book I recently reviewed.
