Bluetooth is low power/short range, even less of a cancer risk (if there actually is a risk) and last time I checked I don't put my mouse and keyboard up to my head when I use it.
But most people sitting at a desk do have their keyboard close to their reproductive organs - which is perhaps even more dangerous than next to your head (i.e. potential to cause future damage rather than localized damage).
The Nokia 3210 has word recognition (not voice recognition). You start typing and it guesses the word you want based upon a dictionary. The major constraint is the limited dictionary size.
Compression CANNOT guarantee anything better than 1:1 ratio - it is ENTIRELY dependent on the data.
True if you don't know what the data is, however, if you do know what the data is you can guarantee a level of compressibility. For instance instruction data is high in entropy so an algorithm optimized to handle x86 instructions could (for instance) improve the performance of the memory subsystem
All they can do is add distortion - now that distorion may in fact have a 'natural' or pleasing sound to it, just ask anyone who prefers valve (vacuum tube in the US) hi-fi amplifiers, by virtue of being mostly even order, but it's distortion none the less.
Adding noise is a common approach in a lot of signal processing applications.
Apparently when telephone switches first went digital people were so worried that they couldn't hear any hiss that they though the phone wasn't working !!
Consequently a feature was introduced to convince customers that equipment is actually working - "comfort tones" - or white noise
Andersen are running a marketing campaign at present which implies that most e-commerce solutions are dodgy veneers sprayed on. This study just "proves" it doesn't it:-)
The answer? "No. I have no idea where this current rumor started. Well, I have some idea, but it really looks like they've recirculated old news about negotiations that were stopped three months before the rumor hit the papers."
This is quite usual. If it is true and he had said "yes" to you he may later have been prosecuted for a breach of SEC regulations and gone to jail, even if he wanted to tell you. This is one of the reasons why until it's ready to be offically announced to the market companies are so coy.
While I find technology like this cool, I can't imagine anything worse than surviving a horrible attack and then being unable to get money from my bank account because I had been disfigured by the attack. Sigh.
If you were in australia the rules are similar but also different.
I think you can only call yourself an engineer if you are a member of IEAust.
Additionally like other professions you have to do the equivalent of a "professional" year to move from a graduate engineer to being a consulting engineer. Last time I checked this involved keeping log books, aural exams, and a thesis.
I don't know that it's actually much unless you are a consultant, however in some states (Victoria?) this means that as a consultant your potential liability is limited by law !!
[Side-track] Does anyone else think that all those "Insert your favorite Vendor Certified Practicer" courses are a waste ? [/Side-track]
I saw an interesting presentation recently by an academic at Sydney University - Richard Coggins - in which he showed how neural nets implemented in analogue (sub-threshold transistor technology) were able to be used for classification neural networks at much lower power levels (an order of magnitude less) than digital logic systems - and presumably many orders of magnitude less than microprocessor systems.
His application was in implantable defibrilators (sp?) where you need extremely long battery life and needed to be able to classify QRS waveforms as "need's a shock", or "leave them alone".
It certainly got me thinking - who'd have thought analogue technology would be better than digital:-)

The only solution would be Read Only MRAM - a return to the days of ROMRAM :->

Marketing is all about buying news.
So many tech / business news articles are poorly masked copies of press releases or articles generated from lunchtime leaks.

Should this be called reversible code-morphing :-)
