Reply to TIL of David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and NBC who suppressed and then stole FM radio and Television from their inventors, driving one to suicide and the other to alcoholism. by Dega704
My Communications professor told us about this while explaining phase and frequency modulation. Said he developed it and exhausted his fortune defending it and died poor. Told us we should look into it because it's a really interesting story. I never looked into it.

Reply to comment by Infernalism in TIL exactly what it means to be “Hanged, drawn and quartered”: “…fastened to a hurdle, or wooden panel, and drawn by horse to the place of execution, where he was then hanged (almost to the point of death), emasculated, disembowelled, beheaded, and quartered (chopped into four pieces).” by CatsKittensCatsBunny
