How much are they worth?

How simple was the idea to put electricity through a resistance inside a vacuum
bulb to emit light? If you work on it, you eventually come up with tungsten for
the wire and nitrogen instead of vacuum. Big deal, any body can do it, right?
but Thomas Edison was the first to come up with it and that made him a giant.
How much is it worth? You can judge for yourself.

Here are some inventions, designs or just simple ideas of mine. How much are
they worth?

Technological designs and inventions:

The Word Processor, original design with the space padding and even length rows.
The spreadsheet with the famous phrase: "what if I change the value of this item?"
Both were designed to make use of the personal computer and to help launching
it to the mass public.

The Commodor's Vic series: Vic 20, Vic 64 ( just the rough ideas how they were
to be done and the names, not including the Amiga ).

The Adam computer( started well but eventually flopped ), should they sue me
for that?

The Apple computers, The idea: how to start it from the garage. The names: Apple,
Apple Macintosh ( Do they know why? ). The operating system: original terms for
the operating system: User Friendly, Menu, and the idea for Graphic User Interface
( only the idea, not the term GUI by itself ).

The name " Windows " for the operating system ( name only, for the methods, they
probably stole the idea from the Apple which in turn stolen from me. )

Computer Graphics: canned graphics ( where did Corel come from? )
3D shadings, 3D renderings methodology, Fractal Methods.
The name " Pentium ", name only, not any of the designs. Why did they ask me for
the name? Because the numbers given to the processors were not trade markable,
and I was the one came up the successful names like " Duracell", " Windows " ,
" Apple...".
By then, the latest name was 486, the same for Intel and generic manufacturers
alike. The name " Pentium " was so good that when they tried to replace it with the
new name like the "Celeron", it flopped, so they drop the price, degrade the class of
the processor. Now you know why Celeron processors have been such the good deals and
why the name Pentium stuck: Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III...
The Bar Graph and the Bar Graph reading device: the Stylus ( not the name by itself ),
originally design to process checking in and out at the library; later the automated
check out for super markets.

The idea for the Bank Machine and the Direct Payment method.
The Micro Wave oven ( the invention probably existed without my prior knowledge,
but the products have only been produced after my idea was given and the phrase
" cooking from the inside out was definitely originated from me. "

The solution for the VCR, which was having problem with the tape length, speed,
and the pictures quality: in 1975, the maximum time recording for a consumer tape
was about half an hour.

The personal stereo ( it was the design but not the name Walkman by itself )
The portable phone and the satellite cellular ( the inventions and patterns
definitely existed before my time but why the market boom and mass produce only
after my sketch? )

In Cinematography: The following are the movies made from my stories, some
were just the main themes, some were rough ideas, some with story and titles like:
Jaws and Star Wars...

Jaws, Star Wars series: I, II, III, Alien, E.T., Close Encounter of the Third Kind,
Deer Hunter, Rocky, First Blood, Indiana Jones series: I, II, Romancing Stone,
Poltergeist, 48 Hours, Trading Places, Beverly Hill Cops I, Platoon( the story was
not stolen but given directly to Oliver Stone by me ), Die Hard ( 1st only ), Batman
in 1989; previous Batman were nothing but live action comics; I also chose the
main casts; now you know why Jack asked for 60 millions for the role and got it!
Jurassic Park ( the 1st one only ) I also describe how to make the 3D computer graphic
dinosaurs look and act real, Independent Day, Back to the future

What will I do with all those?

Any third world country with a heavy national debt can launch the lawsuit on my behalf
for any of the above and more ( to be updated ) for money with the exception of Platoon
( since it was given directly to Oliver Stone by me. ) Since United States of America is
the front runner for democracy, for justice, Law and order, I'm sure it can accommodate
the law suits without any problem. For the Canadian part, which government officials
act like a brazen gang of thugs without any integrity, if law suit is not applicable, the
whole third world could impose the trade sanction and ask the European community and
the rest of the world to join.

What will I get from it?
Freedom, none of the money. With freedom, without the virtual yoke put on by Canadian
government, I can make money, lots of it.
They might conspire with the KGB to play the terrorist card on the American to set
me up, but I'm sorry, this time I couldn't care less, not any more.

To be continued and updated...
