Ah. So... since basic science research is supposed to be supported by private industry, and not the government, what percentage of your gross income is devoted to R&D? What do you focus on? Quantum computing? Holographic data storage technology? Genetic computing?

What high-risk science does your company do?

The percent that the companies I buy software and hardware from spend on their R&D. It's called capitalism. I spend my $$$ on the most cost effective products - if they want my money they spend a fraction of what I spend with them on R&D. Those fractions add up from small businesses like mine and fuel products that people actually want. The market place at work.

I'm not in that business, nor is appropriate for everyone to be in that business.
