You know, I guess, that you mean 'cojones' (as in testicles) and not 'cajones' (as in a boxlike compartment in furniture that can be pulled out and pushed in).
If now somebody figures out how to triple boot and add Linux then I will be able to boot a good, a bad and an ugly OS (and I'm not saying either which is which!).
Just like car audio systems have the feature to increase automatically the volume with increasing speed to compensate for the engine and wind noise. And by the way, all these features can be turned off.
Powerbooks adjust the brightness of the screen to the available light in the user's environment. The screen can be quite dim in a poorly lit room, which results in less fatigue and less stress on your eyes when you look somewhere else besides the screen (your eyes do not need to adjust back and forth to the different lighting levels).
At least for me, brighter is not better. I have both types of laptops at home (private and work), and once you get used to the automatic dimming of the powerbook, the windows one feels like working with a desk lamp lighting directly onto your face.
Optobionics has been around for a while and have been implanting silicon chips on the back of the eye on human patients. The patients were blinded by retinitis pigmentosa.
The chip interfaces directly with the the remaining cells in the retina so there's no need for external glasses or receivers. Although the person with the implant cannot perceive color, the resolution is good enough to distinguish shapes. The chip itself is has an array of photodiodes with a technology similar to solar cells.
This topic reminds me a past/. posting on pretty much the same topic. It was a review on the Nex II Compact Flash MP3 player that connects through USB and is accessible from Linux as an SCSI drive. The unit is very cheap, around $70 without CF card - I ended up buying it.
You'll find it here.

... and we do 'other' activities together while we are not putting together the computer and *more importantly* while we are not installing windows.
There is a cover on the camera lens which is opened and closed automatically as needed.
Did anyone notice the 'safety shoes' that one of the researches is wearing in the lab (see video) while doing experiments with molten silicon??????
1.1m in the US, 0.7m elsewhere = 1.8m

You can, of course, disable that automatic feature and adjust the brightness manually.
