Umm, there's no debating that the charge-coupled device (CCD), the light sensing device of most digital cameras, was invented in 1969. Fairchild was
making commercial CCD devices by 1974... I don't see how this is "whistle-blower" worthy news...
*The first astronomical CCD image - taken in 1974 with an 8 inch telescope. Not a terrible picture either.
