A Dick Track watch is a cool thing for communication, but yes, I can't think of too many apps that would do as well on a tiny watch screen as they would on a larger phone screen. Maybe with and external controller, you could do some decent games. The only apps it makes sense to do on a watch are already supplied by Apple: navigation, phone, facetime? Hmm... actually, a watch might make a decent universal remote control, if it had an infrared transmitter, which I don't believe the Apple watch does. My watch has a built-in cell phone, but I still never use it.

Comment Re:Is this any different than the US government? (Score 2) 100

Is this any different that our government forcing printer manufacturers to put secret watermarks on pages printed?

actually, yes it is! the point of the watermarks made on color printers is to make it easy to track down counterfeiters, specifically those printing USD. fun fact, North Korea loves to counterfeit $100 USD notes.

Comment plenty of sugar (Score 1) 67

one serious problem that western society has is the overuse of sugar in our foods. it's lead to the fat american and has already infected europe. if these technologies can actually take the sugar out of our blood before it hits the liver, that would be great. however, seeing as how people are going to start dying off in droves from diabetes, i think there will be a correction in the food market before this technology is mature enough to be useful for general use.
