Please understand that the process of innovation and invention requires a wide range of personalities to sustain it. You have the innovative and inventive types whose motivation is to see their inventions work. Then there are the business people who would bring these products to market. Together with people like Joel Pan, they pay for and create a buzz about the new inventions, a buzz that we (the bulk of the buyers looking for a good bargain) pick up and follow.
Everyone plays a part in converting innovation into everyday products - it's up to us to choose which part we want. There is no need to mock at those who play other parts.
