Let's bring the literacy rate up, and put an "app" on peoples devices, phones, tablets, computers, etc that allows everyone in their country read bills being proposed, who wrote them, lobbying for them, and actually participate in the process.
well if google has 93% or so of peoples eyeballs.... they have all the devices and reach you can think of, they could create a new era of world voting. but will google do it? heck no... you'll find a stupid Turing machine.
Why does this remind me of the spoof commercial I saw somewhere for the 12 blade facial razor, for the ultimate in close shaves? The thing looked like a damn textbook attached to a Bic razor handle. 62 speakers sound like extreme overkill in any environment outside a professional theater.
the Mach 20 razor you refer to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F7TMlrDXtw
maybe cos its a government research organisation, not a commercial company. maybe the difference is that many other government research orgs are quite happy to sink countless millions in taxpayer-funded grants into new tech that is merely ripped off by commercial companies, so that taxpayers get to pay for it twice-over.
so i get modded troll for pointing out the trolls like this one ^^^ i watched two ac's seed this comment list at 5 am. i call total bullshit
