There is more than one way to implement a solution, just because this is similar to what Fingerworks did doesn't mean they are infringing on patents. I do believe Jeff Han was developing this (for a while) at the same time as Apple were putting the technology into a phone.
I think it is really a great product, very interesting, everything in the demo seems to simple to use, very Apple like. Microsoft has taken a clue because it seems something like Apple would do when it comes to ease of use. Just placing a memory stick on the table downloads its contents? Brilliant! I'm really happy that something like this is coming out, lets just hope it gets to us mere mortals sooner rather than later.
It might suck for you maybe privacy wise but they don't bother me at all and what happens anyway if there is another crime and the camera proves you were somewhere else, thus letting you go scott free?
Surveillance systems are becoming a part of my studying degree and I'm slightly biased towards them, I'm not sure I can agree with you that I should feel like a subject and not a free individual. They don't bother me and they serve a legitimate purpose, people always see the negative but what happens if the same video evidence also clears me because I was being watched?
I wouldn't say it was inappropriate, it is being used for decent enough reasons, I'd say you found a flaw in the system, nothing is foolproof, the system should be re-written to excuse such actions as yours. Maybe a speed camera combined would solve this problem?
Your example is silly, we wouldn't do that without a camera pointing at us. To me, a camera would take place of a person anyway, so what is the difference with regard to privacy? That person could be anybody in the street so you could be watched either way.
... in 40K years, we'll have the technology to retrieve those discarded items from our distant past thus nullifying any hypothetical outcome we are already discussing here.
Oh I fucking hope not. I use Yahoo for many things and if Microsoft buys them, I'd have to switch to Google or something more 3rd party. I also wouldn't want to turn the internet into a Google vs Microsoft landscape because that is what it is if Microsoft buys Yahoo! The internet is more interesting with Yahoo.
Your signature is ironic far above what you realise my friend. For starters if I question somebody on a subject that means I'm ignorant? I am aware Apple provides a lock in certain aspects of their business over the years, I wanted to see if the chap knew what he was talking about, you know because he didn't specify anything at the start of the conversation. I have not mentioned my own opinion on this until now and even now I'm not going into depth about it.
Have you never asked a question on somebody to see if they actually know what they're talking about? You're trying to manipulate what I'm saying and from the last post, you should have realised this conversation is getting more and more surreal by the moment.
This is the bit where I tell you to shut the fuck up because you're depriving a village of its idiot.
Quote me on the bit where I claimed to not know about Apple's extensive history and you've won the discussion. But I'll save you the task because I never said I didn't know about it, I simply wanted that person to explain himself. Are you retarded or something, if this was a real conversation you'd have shut the fuck up by now.
Do you know how stupid you sound? I know how Guantanamo Bay prisoners think when they are taken to court for the first time to hear the charges brought against them and haven't yet heard the evidence, but are asked to explain themselves.
This conversation doesn't make sense and neither do you, you make stereotypical assumptions about me and then try to further prove I am what you think I am because you're telling me I've denied something which I haven't even denied. On top of all that, you're riding me for calling somebody out who hasn't explained themselves and I have to refute what they haven't even said yet?

Your death will happen sooner than you think, before you made the coffee did you put your faraday suit on?
Not if you have that surface conducting fabric that somebody else demoed a few weeks back. Your carpet becomes the power cord.

Already somebody wants linux on it. I think some catch-up is in order from the Open Source movement first.
You mean Jeff Han? I saw his demo last year.

The Germans were also not producing enough oil in order to fight effectively.
The human eye is capable of seeing a far wider range of colours than 16,000. I think its millions but I don't have or found anything to back that up.

Clear and consise, thank you.

I caught somebody out, notice i said "public place", how do you have a right to privacy in a public place?
Can anyone give me a real reason for NOT having cameras in public places instead of screaming "Orwellian" or "1984" all the time?
"Same thing with pirates of the caribbean...I hate most jerry bruckheimer movies, but johnny depp sort of cancels him out too."
No it doesn't because the director sucks as well, Johnny Depp isn't that good to cancel both of those two negatives.

How did your boss react? Did Sarah lose her job?
From the article: In fact, these experiments are not always useful because similarities can be poor between mice and humans."
First, who was the idiot making comparisons between mice and men? Second, which mice DID have breasts with which those similarities weren't poor?
I don't think anybody cares.
