This doesn't surprise me, it just confirms what I've always thought:

That Tesla is one of the most underrated scientists/inventors/engineers that has ever lived. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tesla_patents)

Nicolai Tesla is almost the engineering equivalent of the Simpsons:

Tesla did it! Tesla did it!

[nuxi → SkyMarshal]

It's Nikola actually.

D'oh!

I wonder how the computer industry would have changed had somebody been able to patent the AND gate instead of having the expired patent in place.

Wow, that is some seriously radiopunk shit. I knew Tesla was awesome, but it doesn't sink in sometimes till you read something like this.
