I had the same problem involving a customer about a year ago, and it did look very convincing, except that it was sent by post not email. It was only because the customer decided to run it by me first that they avoided the scam.
It's probably a good thing to have multiple projects working on this, as it will help generate a bit of competition between them all. Hopefully creating a better end result.
If they get to a point where they are able to target specific memories, for example it could be very helpful to people that have suffered a traumatic event. But from the article it sounds like it's just a plan old memory wiper by switching off a running process, and there's no real control over what gets erased. I suppose that's OK if you really don't mind losing the last couple of years.
I am sure there's a list of negative points that could be made against this technology, I just cant remember what they are.
Doesn't the majority of the noise come from the CPU fan? I thought they were already well on their way to fixing this problem with ionic cooling
after all it's not the noise of my hard drives that bugs me, it's the noise from the CPU fan. Fix this problem and I would say the sound problem is pretty much solved.
Proving that if a large enough amount of people do it, then there's nothing they can do about it except lower the prices.
I am sure this is going to encourage piracy even further in China for Microsoft, not prevent it.
Clearly some people have a little difficulty remembering pin codes, but in my opinion its the best way.
When you start adding security features that require a human component clearly a bad idea.
"The results were skewed as 12 people in the trials dropped out because of illness."
Shouldn't that merit further study, to see whether the 12 that took ill are in connection to the mobile phone masts? Or at the very least, add to the claim that they are causing health problems.

"20/20. For the first time, the space agency will consider applicants who have undergone successful refractive eye surgery."
I wonder does it matter what type of corrective eye surgery you have had, I only ask because I remembered this article.
I think the majority of Moray Eels are nocturnal creatures so "They Mostly Come Out at Night...Mostly"

Point taken, I realised my mistake after I hit the submit button - To late now.
Sounds similar to the new hybrid electric car that Dean Kamen & the Norwegian company 'Think' are working on. I put it on my blog not long ago.

"the difference between humanity and machinery and how super computers don't care when they are losing."
With this in mind, its probably the only game you would never want it to play. After all it wouldn't care if we both lost.Doesn't the majority of the noise come from the CPU fan? I thought they were already well on their way to fixing this problem with ionic cooling
