I've always wondered if one could make a road that talked, and whether having two axles (as most cars do) would make it unintelligible. You'd hear it twice, with a small time delay related to the car's speed and wheelbase.
Maybe the effect isn't noticeable, or isn't objectionable, for music.
In fact I do use a bluetooth headset, but generally only while driving. I'm just tired of wiping skin oil off my screen, and it occurred to me that I never have to wipe the *back* of the phone!
I also think candybar-style phones (my preferred style) would benefit from having the mic and earpiece on the *back* of the phone, so the screen and keypad don't get all greasy.
The initials on the nameplate of this Weapon of Mass Destruction seem to be G.W.B.! It's also serial number 42, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything!
I'll have to go back and reread "War Without Men: Robots on the Future Battlefield" by Shaker and Wise, to see how accurate their predictions were in 1988.

There is a fundamental mismatch between the portrait-orientation of the pad of paper and the landscape-orientation of the screen.
The article left me with several questions:
- Do you have to write with special characters, or will it recognize my native printing?
- Does the pad fold all the way around for when you're not using the computer?
- If so, wouldn't writing on the pad mash the keys against the table?

I really dislike the term "gravitational currents."
How about "gravitational thalweg"? It kind of fits.

I mean, if metallic lithium is just lying around on the ground, wouldn't that be pretty spectacular?

That doesn't make sense to me.
A way to remotely enable the microphone, so you can "listen in" on your child (or wherever the phone happens to be).

There's lots of room for exploitation of geographic domain names, e.g.
