Ralph Baer, father of video games, dies at 92

Sad news. His work inspired an industry that arguably equals or surpasses the whole movie industry.

Also an interesting story in patent law. Many engineers said his simple patent for controlling a spot of light on a TV set was obvious to anyone in the field, but it was repeatedly determined that it was innovative and valid as a patent. One comeback was that if it was so obvious, why hadn't anyone published the idea?
