I'd really like to know what the details are:<p>> <i>since LG employees can go off, form a startup and -- if everything collapses within three years -- come back to the company no questions asked.</i><p>Is this an open offer to all employees, or just to those that decide to join these sanctioned startups, and how does one go about getting your "crazy project" inside LG turned into a startup. Is it in their contracts, or just spoken? It's certainly an interesting approach.<p>I think there's an interesting idea here - and an interesting article to be written on the topic - but this one didn't go where I wanted it to.
That Acanvas self-charging design is brilliant. You hang up the painting above a wall socket and it drops a cord down to the socket to charge when the battery gets low. Then it pulls the cord back up so it appears wireless the majority of the time.<p><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acanvas/acanvas-the-cord-free-art-display-and-streaming-pl?ref=video" rel="nofollow">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acanvas/acanvas-the-cor...</a>
This is the first "Nordic-style" startup plan I've seen from a major tech company. Have any of the other majors tried something like this?
