  3. Gibson's Cyberspace on New Goggles Offer Minority Report-Style Interface With Heads-Up Display · · Score: 1

    We're just getting closer to William Gibson's concept of cyberspace. Add some "trodes" for your fingers, slot an OS into the jack behind your ear, and you'll be sipping virtual coffee with Count Zero in the Sprawl.

  5. Re:Lacking faith in the currency? on Bitcoin Kiosks Coming To 5 Canadian Cities · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They have to buy bitcoins in order to sell them, right? While I don't see the need for a bitcoin ATM, I do believe bitcoin is useful to the internet economy as a good method for micro payments. If Paypal or Google created this crypto coin idea, people would probably be more accepting and the conversion rate to fiat currency would stabilize. That's my .0002btc

  8. Re:Oh, great .... now, instead of on New Legislation Would Punish Mishandling of Private Data · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes. Darwin's system. When a company gets hacked and customer's information is taken, they lose business. If they get hacked enough, they go out of business. Do the customers get hurt? Sure. They get smarter too. If a company is smart and secures their data, then they don't get hacked and they keep their customers and the customers don't get hurt. More laws are not always the best answer.
