Data Glove That Turns Gestures Into Commands

Posted by timothy on from the gestures-as-commands-are-always-tempting dept.

ravidew writes: "Three students at Berkeley Sensor and Actuator Center, University of California, have built a motion-sensing glove that can transmit hand gestures to a PC. Within 3 years they hope to build sensors that are no bigger than 1mm and can be glued to each fingernail. Now you can really tell Windows what you think ..." While you're at the Sensor and Actuator Center, check out Kris Pister's smart dust.

    Metllica - Fight Fire With Fire

    Do unto others as they have done unto you
    But what in the hell is this world coming to?
    Blow the universe into nothingness
    Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest

    chorus:
    Fight fire with fire
    Ending is near
    Fight fire with fire
    Bursting with fear
    We shall die

    Time is like a fuse, short and burning fast
    Armageddon is here, like said in the past

    chorus

    Soon to fill our lungs the hot winds of death
    The gods are laughing, so take your last breath

    chorus

    The worst terrorist attacks in United States history occurred less than three weeks ago, and you people are discussing "Data Gloves".
    How does "Data Gloves" help the 6000+ people that died as a result of being burnt to death, ripped to shreds, smashed, blown to bits, jumping from 80 stories to their death to avoid being burnt alive or being pinned between thousands of tons of steel and concrete for a week?

    My *GOD* people, GET SOME PRIORITIES!

    Quite frankly, the 6000+ people who died in this unprecedented tragedy could give a rats ass about "Data Gloves".

    You people absolutely disgust me. You are all poor excuses for human beings.
    I am almost ashamed to visit this site after seeing the terrorist attacks in the news on this site for a few days and then just brushing it aside and moving along as if it was no big deal.
    You people simply play too many computer games and thus have no grip on the reality of this tragedy.
    Its obvious that computer-playing-linux-geeks have no sense of reality, are very self-centered and have no regard for human life.

    You should all be glad that you are alive and well and able to masturbate as frequently as you like while looking at goatse.cx, and not stuck under 100 stories of a collapsed building with your penis sliced off from shrapnel.

    I was watching a nature show on TV. Seems like the Japanese have a real problem with Snow Monkeys. They used to be cute and fuzzy, fun to photograph and drew thousands of tourists to watch their antics every year. But then the tourists began to feed the monkeys. As one biologist said: Wild monkeys are used to fending for themselves. When they can start getting food without working, their behavior changes. They become mean, aggressive and dangerous. If they see something they want they take it. Now, farmers have to hire guards with sawed off shotguns to protect their property (just like South Africa) and tourists risk attack whenever a monkey approaches (just like in any big American city).

    Yes Amanda, our version of the Snow Monkey (Nigger Americanus) behaves exactly like the Japanese species.
