Throwing more developers at a problem doesn't always help things. Sometimes, it can actually makes things much worse. One very talented middle-manager can often lead to more productivity than adding 20 inexperienced developers to the mix.

Oh, I agree. I don't have an idea of how to properly run such enterprise, but had fun playing pretend. Though I'm serious when I say that I'd love to work with or for a company that would focus on software/hardware R&D. More so if someone would be kind enough to give me some funding to try and make such thing work. I don't aim to be rich, I just want to build stuff. :)
