    The biggest relatively recent invention was from Americans Robert noyce and jack kilby. What does china bring...magnets? You do realize they tend to replicate more than innovate or invent often times right? The iPhone is American. The iPad is American. Windows is American by an American. The list is fucking massive...you are right, you have no hard proof. Just making an incorrect statement to try an prove a point.

      Jack Kilby was a pompus ass, though (met him several times). It will be a while to top the integrated circuit, though.

          He made damn sure everyone knew who he was. I hated working in the Kilby Buildings. Try to work a HAZMAT incident in HIS building and tell him that he can't go back in. Old fucker... LOL
