Got a reply to the submission of my “Million Dollar” idea from Renault a few days ago. I guess this sort of response was entirely predictable, unavoidable even. Heck, it’s the reason that Howzabout.org came about in the first place, but I still find it vaguely disappointing.

I saw a television show concerning Innovation and Corporations, and a gentleman referred to their relationship as being like teaching a dog to walk on its hind legs – it’ll get up and walk for a minute, but in the end it’ll be back to all fours ’cause that’s its nature.
I suppose that’s why most of the major advancements in most every industry come from outside of the professional circles. I really think there is tons of opportunity to change that dynamic. Don’t you?
