Been working in IT long have you? :-P

And Kittens! Don't forget the kittens.

Wait wait wait, I don't get this whole Clogging thing...

Could you do that again with a car analogy?

How self defeatist is that? We name our own sun S.O.L.

(Knew it was referred to as Sol before this guys post, but it's funnier this way.)

You know who else was Anti-Symantec? He even made them wear pieces of flair.

Perhaps not entirely what you are looking for as you would need to have a Windows OS in some form or fashion but I think the XNA Creators Club http://creators.xna.com/en-US is a good start at helping people develop. XNA Game Studio 3.0 allows you to develop for the Zune without paying for it. Then if you want to distribute it you just get a Premium Membership, get it peer reviewed, and away you go.

They have Visual C# Express for free download. So all you have to come up with is a computer running some flavor of windows.

Yeah, besides, do you remember how long it took Ziggy to figure anything out? Like half an hour on a good day. If all my applications ran like that I'd be pissed too.

Yeah, but you can call in sick both of those days.

Maybe I'm wrong but I was always of the understanding that the frequency of a signal was not necessarily related to the power of that signal. I think we're confusing frequency (Hz) with wattage (W). Now in practice it might be that in order to traverse a usable distance these transmitters would have to have a very high power output, but I don't see how we can say that just because it's a large jump we should be scared.

Radio stations are in the MHz range, going from 100 MHz to 2.4 GHz is a 24 fold jump, going from 2.4 GHz to 60 GHz is about the same (25 fold)

Vista Ultimate can be had for much less than $400 if you know where to look. I see full copies of Ultimate going for $150 to $175 on eBay all the time.

Has anyone tried to pair some of these eye tracking softwares with contacts? I know it might be a bit more niche since not all us geeks wear Glasses/Contacts, but if you can get over the touching your eyes part I'm sure "blank" contacts could be made. Would be interesting to have a pair of glasses with small cameras that just tracked the marks on the contacts. I know my current contacts have marks on the outer edge of the contact with the makers name, perhaps this could even be made with some sort of non-visible spectrum reflective material. Then there's the problem of what light wouldn't cause eye damage being shone into the eye at that range.

Maybe someone will steal this Idea. :-)

From what I recall from another article they are planning on releasing the schematics open source. So the thought of other companies getting in on the action is much more probable than you might think.
