Through a device called Nomad, people will be able to read information from a small, wearable computer that projects an image over their normal vision.'" Looks like they've come a long way in the past three years.

    This sounds like great news, unless you travel. Then you'll be forced to deal with the airport Nazi's, and they'll kill all your toys.

    What's scary is the possibility of someone hacking your display. If it paints directly to your eye at a high enough resolution and color depth you might not notice even the more obvious changes. Even if your wearable PC doesn't have remote access someone could still get physical access to it.

    The consipiracy theorists will have a field day. :)
