What do the people in this article have in common with Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Steve Jobs? They're all the innovators of their generation. The only difference is that instead of developing world-changing inventions, these folks created some hacks that make life only slightly easier. But at least they're entertaining.
