individual people are the ones that invent these things. And most of the time, they do it on their own and its harvested by the corporation.

Do you work in R&D? I do. Innovation is not something a corporation does, its something an individual does. And then the corporation that he works for monetizes it. And most of the the time, the person that has the good idea has to convince a gazillion other people to complete it. They usually get a nice bonus for it. So while they are paid by the corporation, its the individual. This is why poaching is good sport in silicon valley, everyone knows its one or two engineers that come up with the good shite.

And in actuality, its not the large corporations that actually bring to market innovations, its usually smaller companies. They get bought or more likely have their ideas stolen. Most of the ipod and iphone were stolen from other firms.
