Synthetic Vision

The new device uses satellite imaging and land profiling to build a 3D representation of the world in a soldier's goggles in real-time. This would enable troops to see through sand storms and oil smoke of the kind currently hampering operations in the Gulf. I imagine one could also remove mountains to allow remote viewing of approaching territory."

Re:Unproven = untrustworthy = low SAT scores!

[adzoox]

That is a false analogy (Unproven = untrustworthy).

The Apple iPod is a good example.

Untested waters for Apple, Apple not "well received" by entire PC population, different, semi-unpopular connection scheme, new type of hard drive never released on mass consumer scale- low profit margin market - what else could have been more unproven about the iPod? It has become one of the most critically acclaimed gadgets of the past two years and is made to a very high quality (typical Apple, but always exceptions) standard.

Your analogy would earn you a low SAT and fits in with my signature, read below :)
