What Will Apple Do With Swedish Eye-Tracking Technology?

andylim writes "An article on recombu.com explores the possibility that Apple is gearing up to launch eye-tracking technology soon. Citing a patent filed in 2008 that mentions 'gaze vectors' and a recent purchase of units from a Swedish eye-tracking company, the author suggests that the inclusion of eye-tracking tech in the company's forthcoming tablet would be Jobs's magnum opus. 'What better flourish to a career that began with the popularization of windows, icons, mouse and pointer than to usurp them all?'"

Left to Google, you would have a subtle ad show up around the point of vision on your browser.
Microsoft - sorry i cant think evil today.
Yahoo would just keep the patent on a shelf and implement some unwanted feature three years after the patent expires.
Apple - i just dont know but I know that i will love it !!
