    There are six separate patents on the use of a laser pointer for playing
    with a cat. Laugh if you like, I'm putting the finishing touches on my
    patents for pants, beef and television.

    I had a Sony Walkman cassette player that had solar cells on one side.
    It worked very well.

    You can see a photo of it at

    However I'm sure that Apple invented solar cells on portable devices,
    even though Sony sold a product with solar cells 21 years earlier.
