Well, I'm in no position to argue yosithezet, but I can think of a lot of anecdotal things anyway that have been developed in Israel that have been nicely developed/used. Don't sell yourselves too short.

I've myself used or seen the fruits of many innovations like electronic phone recording in call centers, electronic taxi dispatching, internet firewalls, etc. That gastric camera capsule was developed in Israel right? The Centrino chip? (other Intel innovations?)

Anyway, I'm sure you can point to lots of other developments that haven't been exploited as well. I just think there's still a lot to be proud of.
