A new article reveals that large corporations are investing less in science. From 1980 to 2006, publications by company scientists have declined in a range of industries. The result holds across a range of industries.

Investigators also found that the value attributed to scientific research has dropped, whereas the value attributed to technical knowledge (as measured by patents) has remained stable. Companies appear to be focusing more on developing existing knowledge and commercializing it, rather than on creating new knowledge through basic research.

[Abstract]: The decline of science in corporate R&D

Remembering AT&T Bell Labs, IBM Labs, Xerox PARC, HP Labs, TI, etc. In the current political and economic situation, do you think companies in USA have the will and means to reverse this decline?

    Go for a job interview, with all those pushy unanaimated insectoid morons. It is no wonder that America is losing the battle, because the big boys are all Pajeet poodoos and Nguet Nguen idiots who don't understand a goddamn thing about English,

    Go ahead, save your few bucks. You will lose to Apple!

    Apple also hires Pajeet and Nguen, thank you very much. Jobs is dead, long live the turtleneck.

      I do not believe there is any danger to longevity. It's turtlenecks all the way down.
