This innovation interests me most, aside from the obvious uses, but taking a step further. It would be an incredible educational tool as well as for the average consumer.
Here's the shots they had for this with the article:

This is probably way down the line, but a true simulation of open heart surgery? Driving tests/lessons without having to take students into the streets? How about 3D maps to help us find our way around?
To be honest, I am afraid of the next generation of internet "pop ups".
I realize you did this for the free karma, but for those that didn't read the summary, let alone the article, your comment is misleading.
The article doesn't answer the key question for the average consumer:
Will older models of the aforementioned devices will be allowed this access? Would I be required to pay the premium as I have an older model in order to gain access? DRM? etc.
Couldn't be bothered to click through to the Financial Times article that the above story links to just in case there was additional information.
While I am posting from work, I get the impression that the article is too underdeveloped to even be worth reading by the majority of the/. crowd. (I am aware that most won't read the article at all.) I'm more interested in how they came up with their statistics. If this was a Q&A session as opposed to monitoring employees over a period of time, then the results aren't worth a shit.
I especially love how less than 40% of either category uses their work PCs for personal reasons. Unless you know you're being monitored at any given time, I doubt that statistic.
While this is in theory a great way to help other nations develop much more quickly and better the lives of their populace, why is it at times that it just seems like the US's own citizen are treated like third class citizens?
(I'm so getting modded to hell for this one...)

Tax write off, maybe?
I don't own a car, you insensitive clod!

Even watered down profanity serves the purpose of emphasizing whatever point you are trying to make.
I can't very well start saying "fuck" in the office, but if someone's "friggin" annoying me, people get the gist.

Pfft. How about something useful like the fing-longer or the what-if machine?
