I have been an AMD fan for a while and I "attmpt" to keep up with the processor market.
I was reading Tom's Hardware this morning and I stumbled upon a very interesting article concerning the lack of thermal protection for two AMD processors.
IMHO, this video is a "must-see" as the viewer watches two processors "go up in smoke" literally, after the cooling systems are disabled.
in my field and in others. Imagine if Dragon came out with a WinCE version of the popular Dragon Dictate software. I would be able to take notes while performing experiments at the bench. I could keep an electronic lab notebook on the fly because my hands would be free.
Also, it would be of great use to physicians, especially those in the ER. As an emergency patient rolled in, the doctor could fill out all the forms electronically (once again with Dragon Dictate-style software) and electronically send them to the nursing station and the "board". It would be very efficient and save critical time.
I do have a question about the hardware. Does the display track retinal movements to position the mouse pointer? That would eliminate the need to open all of the software and menus with vioce-operated commands (perhaps an extended blink could serve as a mouse click).
All in all it's an interesting concept, perhaps not for the general popultaion.

Below are two links to the same video. Enjoy!
