RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...

The Global Innovation Index 2012 |
INSEAD,
"The Business School for the World," located in France, has just released
its 5th annual publication of
The Global Innovation Index 2012. The study analyzes a country's
ability to foster invention and innovation. For the second year in a
row, Switzerland lead in overall innovation performance. The U.S. squeaked
into last place within the top 10, with even Ireland
(no disrespect meant to the Emerald Isle)
squarely whooping us. Canada came in at #12. Of EUR
(European) countries Switzerland leads
at #1, the U.S. leads NA (N. America - real difficult)
at #10, Israel tops the NAWA (North Africa-West
Asia) region at #17, Singapore (#3) leads SEAO
(South East Asia Outlook), Chile (#39)
tops the LCN (Latin America and the Caribbean)
region, and India, #64, rules CSA (Central and
Southern Asia). As usual, I blame the pathetic politicians for
utterly destroying the country's ability to create and produce. Their
overbearing regulations, obsession with 'diversity,' social engineering,
national self-flagellation, and pandering to leeches is killing us.
