#2 ...Well, the MSM strikes again. The true inspiration for Q were the gadgetmasters Ian Fleming worked with during WWII to put some remarkable weapons and devices in the hands of downed Allied pilots and Resistance fighters. They predate QinetiQ by about six decades.

Of course, saying THAT would take away some of the snark, I suppose...

#4 QinetiQ was the former test and development arm of the UK Ministry of Defence that was turned out and privatized. Thye've been on a buying spree in the US over the last couple of years. I think they understand that the UK defense budgets are not the path to corporate success.
