I am being realistic. I recognize the fact that they are deceptive most of the time. But at least I can see that they 'may' have just made a simple error. If you just accept that they are deceptive and do nothing about then you are just as bad as they are. It doesn't hurt to write feedback.
This shouldn't be a big surprise to anyone. We all know the media is clueless. But instead of just being upset about it, take the time to send feedback to CNN. They'll never learn if we don't tell them.
You're right I did say that. Pardon me, I was up for 24 hours straight rebuilding a server. What I meant is that Linux and WinDoze were initially designed for desktop/server environment. Linux has had success being ported to other systems. However, that doesn't immediately make it the absolute best for wearables too. Research is needed to determine the best path for wearables. It may be in the direction of Linux and it may not.
I never said it was 'only' suited for a desktop environment. Don't put words in my mouth. Linux was designed for desktops and servers originally, not wearables. It could run Linux but like AC said, It needs a completely new interface. Could there be an OS better suited for wearables? It's possible, if that OS was designed for that purpose entirely. Have you seen/used a wearable computer? Probably not. I had the opportunity to use one about 3 months ago at a demonstration put on by one of the leading researchers in the field from Georgia Tech. For the applications that are possible with wearables, a new OS may be the best answer.
I still don't think that any OS available is suitable to run a wearable. There is a need for a new OS to run only for wearables. Linux and WinDoze and others currently avaiable are only suited for a desktop environment. Wearable computing presents many other variables that must be taken into consideration. The fact that it's completely portable, the viewing style, the way information is called up, etc.. --- "I am Jack's smirking revenge" Tyler Durden
I actually just went to a presentation by Chris Thompson on 'Wearable Computing' early this afternoon. Chris is with University of Georgia Tech Research Institute. http://wearables.gatech.edu Some of the things I learned today: He had with him a wearable PC consisting of headgear, complete with single eye piece video screen, microphone and headset speakers. He was jacked into a P266 unit that he wore around his belt. It weighed approximately five pounds. He was running Windoze95 but YES, LINUX could run on it as well. It had a hand held mouse attached to the unit but he mostly used voice commands to control it. It also had wireless network capabilities which means 'Always Jacked In'. He gave a good presentation and I recommend checking out their web page for more info.

I thought everyone could use a good laugh, while I cry of course. University of Georgia Salaries You thought your's was bad? Pyber_Samurai
