The Armoured hummers have very big wheels, are super heavy and thus need much much much more fuel thus you can wonder how many fuel trucks keep the war operations going thus any war will be totally costly. Actually, only developed Nations can afford a hummer in a war zone. I don&#39;t know what happened to the use of diesel powered armoured landrovers that even the British army use in Iraq, Afghan etc. Will the army ever fund local innovation? Highly impossible, unfortunately. </div>

<div><br></div><div>On the other side though, for software developers its also a real challenge. The list for 2011 for KE was not about inventors but code/developer innovations that had a large impact on social/commercial/economical/end user. This way we can understand more, see where our mistakes have been or what needs to be done to make it to the 2012 list.</div>
