    No, that's the job of a pharmacist. That's why you need a college degree to be a pharmacist.
    Do they still print the dosage schedule on the side of the bottle? And all the neat little warning stickers? (Sorry, havent had a prescription since '99)

    Hmm.. the Walmart litigation project site and especially the 99 verdicts against Walmart Section looks like a "free money thru litigation" site. Most of the verdicts awarded were for someone slipping in the store or in the parking lot. I personally think that this is evolution at work. Don't watch where you are walking-Feel Pain. I mean seriously here are some gems:
    Plaintiff, age three, lost the sight in one of her eyes when she struck herself with the pointed end of a plastic headband that she purchased at Wal-Mart. Plaintiff maintained that the headband was unreasonably dangerous for use by children and that Wal-Mart failed to label and test the product properly. Wal-Mart countered that the product was not unreasonably dangerous and that it had no legal responsibility to test the product prior to marketing it. The jury awarded plaintiff $615,000.
    That's why 3-year olds should take thier parents shopping.
    Plaintiff, a 39-year-old homemaker, developed a kidney infection and suffered emotional distress after overdosing on medication that the store's pharmacist prescribed for her. Plaintiff contended that the pharmacist failed to speak clearly and to warn her of the side effects that the medication would have on her pregnancy. Plaintiff further maintained that the kidney infection caused her to deliver prematurely. Her infant died one month after birth. Wal-Mart denied that it was negligent and contended that plaintiff was contributorily negligent for failing to interpret and properly follow the pharmacist's instructions. The jury awarded plaintiff $160,000.
    I thought doctors were supposed to tell you about prescribed medications
    Plaintiff, a 49-year-old housekeeper, tore her meniscus and aggravated her arthritis when she fell after slipping on grease on the floor of the store's automobile repair garage. Wal-Mart asserted that plaintiff should have been aware of her surroundings. The jury awarded plaintiff $82,700.
    I very much agree with Wally-world on this one.

    Where does it end?

    Something where they can load in their DVDs, and then hide them in a cupboard, and when they want to play it, they just choose it from a menu showing the DVDs as text or cover art.
    Hey, I have one of those! It's called a "DVD Changer" holds 400 discs, HDMI, and decent upconversion. Pick one from a menu and voila...

    Couple that with a Tivo, and what else does anyone need?

    Any subsequent Home theater revolution is going to be so encumbered with DRM, you will most like ly need to license the machine, click "I agree" before watching a movie, and have to pay a fee to somebody everytime you stream anything
