Of iMacs...when some people I know bought them just because of how they looked, not because of what the computers were actually like. I don't see why anyone would need blue neon lights and a clear case like that...
Also, unlike fancy looking cars, fancy looking computers don't get you women.
From the article: "We broadcast data into the body using radio waves," he explained. "It's like a radio station that only has a range of 25 millimetres."
This means that in order to pick up the signals, they would have to use some device that picks up signal within 25 millimetres of the glasses. This means that they have two choices
1.Go to a lot of trouble to get much less than a centimeter from the person and get a 10x10 b&w image
OR
2.Get sorta near person, and just look with own eyes and get infinite resolution, full color image that can be instantly viewed.
The example picture shown in the article is barely recognizable. If I hadn't been shown the source image, I would NEVER been able to figure out what the output image was supposed to be...
Oh well, its sorta like playing Atari on a B&W TV, I guess...
If an optical mouse was programmed to be a barcode scanner...it would be a CueMouse of course! That is assuming that the fat cats who run the CueCat company don't sue...
Just think about how long it would take the cable technician guy to get to your igloo if your internet goes down! I live in the same state as the cable company, and it takes at least a month for the guys to come to my house and fix the cable!
He tried selling this thing a total of 4 times, each of which he recieved NO BIDS AT ALL!
It took him 3 times to sell his Actual NASA Mission Control Console Computer. Here are his attempts to sell that:
First: Wanted $199, no bids
Second: Wanted $175, no bids
Third: Sold that thing for $50
Chances are by the time he sells this, it will be around $1000...
That's basically what I'm trying to say. I don't think that this technology will be very effective. There will be tons of false positives probably...and what will they do to determine if they are worried because they will be late for an appointment, or if they are going to blow up the plane! They can't just ask the suspects "why are you so anxious", because they could just lie about that! So all I'm trying to say, is that chances are this thing won't work.
Security officer 1: What he thinking...
Security officer 2: I think he's thinking..."Someone set us up the bomb!"
Security officer 1: We get brain signal!
Security officer 2: We better not let him on the plane...

You could do this, but unfortunately all the beer in your refrigerator would vaporize at the same time unfortunately.
Actually "Sight for the Blind" is a step backward in progress from making the goal of "Sex for the Ugly" possible.
Still, I think the second way for the FBI to see what the guy is seeing would be the better choice ;)
Think of all the legible text can be viewed in a grayscale 10x10 image. Wouldn't be much use unless the product happened to be one letter long.

If the system vaporizes most of the RPG, wouldn't the metal tank become partially vaporized in the process too?
Two words: Pledge Week
Public television is supported by pledges...so someone must be paying them. Therefore, use this method for all channels.
I jammed caffiene pills in my linux box's floppy drive...
One would think that being mute would be the main characteristic that one would need this invention for...not specifically deafness.
The same procedure applies to monitors.
You can take the hubble space telescope, point it at the sun, then put whatever you want to nuke in front of the part that views the images...
Except its backwards...First they have RenderMan, then RenderMonkey.

Napster and its successors are obviously not the problem...its just like the article says...its those damn cassette tapes! Ban them!

Well, so does my old 286!
It would be a good idea for your son not to have the lcd screen out while he is practicing his fencing moves.
If he wants a gaming screen for an XBOX, one company is developing this.

I would definitely consider letting Microsoft upgrade MY software for free...
