Does this mean that there will be no 'Trusted Computing' possible under Vista on existing 32-bit machines? (As far as I understand EFI is a required part of it)
Err.. actually metal oxides (e.g. Titanium Oxide) do exist in the atmospheres of certain cool (3800 K) stars. But then I wouldn't say that they are filled with metal oxide......yeah ok..... he's an idiot.
Just to clear this all up. (and as nobody should take my word for it here it is from a Encyclopedia ):
Kelvin temperature scale, a temperature scale having an absolute zero below which temperatures do not exist. Absolute zero, or 0K, is the temperature at which molecular energy is a minimum, and it corresponds to a temperature of -273.15Â on the Celsius temperature scale. The Kelvin degree is the same size as the Celsius degree; hence the two reference temperatures, the freezing point of water (0ÂC), and the boiling point of water (100ÂC), correspond to 273.15K and 373.15K, respectively. When writing temperatures in the Kelvin scale, it is the convention to omit the degree symbol and merely use the letter K. The temperature scale is named after the British mathematician and physicist William Thomson Kelvin, who proposed it in 1848. Another absolute temperature scale, the Rankine temperature scale, is used by some engineers. See also Fahrenheit temperature scale.
Have you considered using eye-pointing when designing the interface? i.e. glance and blink to switch between tasks.
It strikes me as a very natural and quick way to interact with the system.
I mention this as I was involved with very early research into this area a few years ago. (I was a guinea pig not one of the designers.)
Ok, way back then it did take up half a workbench and involved bouncing lasers off the back of my eye (but did give out a cool robocop whine as I looked around). I bet someone has got it scaled down by now. Perhaps using multiple ccd cameras facing the eyeball and some image recognition software?
Excellent work, well done all of you.

Sorry if this has been asked/answered above...

err... my Japanese isn't too hot but I think the commentator in the clip refers to the device as the "parasite human".
Is it just me or is this really sinister?
They also relate it to robotics research... human robots..
Also it looks like it should be easy to build into standard audio headphones.... perhaps they already have!.... dun dun DUHHHH!
