This interview with Ovshinsky has some interesting stuff. [1] He talks about his motivations being socially driven, his vision of how humanity can use science and technology to make our world better, how a car company reduced his 201 mile range electric car (which happened to be his very first prototype) to a 125 mile one at retail, and how it might be a bad idea to go into business with an oil company if their long term strategy is counter to yours. Neat guy.
