What portion of detecting whether code sent to you over the network is doing something 'strange', do you find simple?
I hate it when people preface comments with "Simply enough" or "Obviously". It automatically makes anyone who doesn't understand what the person is talking about, feel stupid.
That seems like a naive point of view. There are plenty of "best technologies" that have failed, even without government intervention, and especially in cases where the worse of the two technologies is already entrenched in the market.
"With the graphical OS chip, GUI development can shift to the marketing team, allowing engineers to concentrate more on their core competencies. Marketing teams that have a closer relationship to a medical device manufacturer's customers--and herefore their end-users--have a clear understanding of how a device is used in the field. In that way, they are closer to the process of developing a GUI that is the most intuitive to the user."
"A graphical OS chip eliminates the need for a marketing manager to possess a certification in C++ or other programming languages to develop the GUI. Rather, all that is needed is a PC, a commonplace text editor, and perhaps even the most basic and widely available graphics programs, such as Microsoft Paint."
This is fucking hilareous.
1) There are people that understand that GUI design is about ease of use, not about making the GUI as pretty as possible. These people are not marketing managers.
2) Gathing customer requirements != Design != Implementation. The marketeer's job is to gather requirements from the customer, not design a solution. Once you start to mix those two, the marketeer is going to start pushing solutions on the customer.
3) What the fuck is a marketing manager doing designing the GUI? Is this so that the device LOOKS like it contains every single feature under the sun? "Well, the button is there. Why won't the device image?"
4) How many marketing managers do you know that have mastered HTML, let alone understand how to use MSPaint, well enough to create a GUI? Typically engineers are much more familiar with both the tools and the concepts required to create anything on a computer.
5) Yeah... we wouldn't want one of them Human Factors enineers to design the GUI or anything. They have no compentency when it comes to designing Human Computer Interfaces. Let's leave it up to the marketing manager.
6) Um, we're talking about a medical device here, aren't we? What the fuck is a marketing manager doing designing, let alone implementing, *anything*?
7) A C++ certification? As far as I know, most medical design/manufacturing companies don't offer development jobs to someone that has *only* a C++ certification. Most likely, if you're a marketing manager, you haven't been designing software for the past 10 years.
8) Last I checked, the engineering manager was in charge of choosing design tools and was responsible for how well the finished software works. Why would any engineering manager make the decision to hand off GUI design to marketing?
Ah salespeople... they just don't quite understand a little thing I like to call reality.
"However, this requires developing an enormous code base that necessitates increasing the memory on the board. This method exponentially increases design complexity and cost."
I'm not even going to go into the amount of misinformation that is presented in this statement.

Something like that actually happened in Japan recently:
The rest of the article talks about many of the different cell phone malwares out there.

"... or be on some shared network." Uh, the internet?

After all, creating a 5 year old boy 'robot' will be a lot easier than faking a moon landing. ;-)
