Re: Electrical Tape

Harry:

Most companies do not want to hear about new product ideas that are unsolicited. Here's why.....
Companies often have the same ideas for new products that individuals do. If an unsolicited idea comes into a company and they are already working on the idea, it's may be difficult to prove to the external party that his/her idea was not stolen. So accepting external solicitations is a dangerous thing for most companies.

  Here is an idea that i used on my mini-altoids tin camera(which i believe was the first ever altoids camera,btw)
  anyways, a 3/4" flat magnet that can be purchased really cheap, is the very best possible shutter..imho

  for any of you out there who are interested in an interesting story..i asked altoids if they had any interest in this altoids camera that i built,almost a year ago..i only asked if they had an interest because they promote themselves as very interested in the arts in general..they even promote some young artists from what i understand. Funny thing is ,they had zero interest in even hearing about the camera,let alone the number of people that might buy their mints to make cameras..just thought you all might get a little kick out of this little tid bit..
